HIFU technology delivers ultrasound energy waves which penetrate deep into the skin, targeting 3 layers below the surface of the skin: 1. Epidermis 1.5mm Results: Smoothen wrinkles and contour skin 2. Dermis 3.0mm Results: Boost collagen, improve skin texture and diminish skin imperfections 3. Facial Muscles (known as the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) 4.5mm that are normally worked on by cosmetic surgery Results: Lifts skin and create the targeted shaping effect The ultrasound energy causes the tissue to heat up rapidly (above 60~C). The skin’s response to this energy is to stimulate the growth of fresh, new collagen and elastin. The increase in collagen results in tighter, firmer, smoother skin with less wrinkles. Since the high-frequency ultrasound beams are focused on a specific tissue site below the skin’s surface, there is no damage to the upper layers of the skin and adjacent tissue.

We take a cutting edge approach using Bio-Feedback Microcurrent pre & post treatment as well as our custom organic Hyaluronic acid serum in place of standard ultrasound gel.

Some patients may see the initial effect instantly, but ultimately lifting and firming will take place over approximately 3-6 months, as the collagen is renewed and replaced with new, stronger collagen. As each person varies there are certain steps we do highly recommend to sped up, enhance, and maintain your results and investment. Some of those may include, taking a collagen supplement in your diet, monthly facials, using our organic skincare products specially formulated for HIFU aftercare and cellular regeneration.

Some clients can experience momentary discomfort during the procedure while the ultrasound energy is being deposited into the skin; almost like a strong flick underneath the skin. Comfort levels vary from person to person, but the sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is being delivered. The goal is not for it to be painful, as it is subjective treatment where your comfort levels will be asked and monitored.

As this varies from person to person, we can discuss with you how many treatments you may need at your initial consultation. Generally excellent results can be achieved after just one HIFU facial treatment. However, based on the degree of skin laxity, the biological response to ultrasound energy and the client’s collagen-building process, some clients benefit from additional treatments. The procedure is best suited for patients with mild-to-moderate skin laxity. You may need to have the procedure repeated in one to two years as the natural aging process takes over. Future touch up treatments can help keep pace with the ageing process, which varies by each individual.

Yes, you can, although we highly recommend that you speak with us before booking to ensure the correct protocol and waiting periods during and between treatments are followed correctly and safely.

One week before HIFU treatment: • Avoid sun exposure and sunless tanning. • Sun burned or tanned skin will not be treated. • All skin irritants must be stopped (glycolic/ salicylic acids, benzoyl peroxide, retinol products such as Retin A, Tazorac, Triluma, Differin, and Vitamin C) on the area being treated Advise staff when taking antibiotics. Certain antibiotics (Tetracycline, Doxycycline) can make a patient photosensitive, therefore, treatment may not be able to done until two weeks after completion of antibiotic. Paperwork will be filled out prior to every treatment session.

• A non-exfoliating gentle cleanser and light moisturizer can be used the day of the treatment and apply SPF 50 or higher daily to maximize your results and minimize irritation. • All skin irritants (glycolic/ salicylic acids, benzol peroxide, retinol products or vitamin C) can be resumed 3 days post treatments. • Waxing, tweezing and depilatory cream can be resumed 3 days post treatments. • Botox, chemical peels and dermal fillers can be resumed 2 weeks after HIFU facial treatment. • Avoid swimming for 48hrs, no strenuous exercise for 48 hrs. • Avoid alcohol for 48 hrs • No saunas, steam rooms or sun beds for one week.
