HIFU | High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound

What is HIFU Treatment?

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a revolutionary, non-invasive skin treatment designed to lift, tone, and tighten loose or aging skin without the need for surgery or downtime. Often referred to as a non-surgical facelift, HIFU uses advanced ultrasound technology to stimulate deep layers of the skin, promoting natural collagen production for long-lasting, youthful results.

Whether you're noticing sagging skin, fine lines, or a loss of facial firmness, HIFU offers a safe and effective solution to restore a more lifted and sculpted appearance.

How Does The Treatment Work?

HIFU delivers focused ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of the skin, specifically targeting the SMAS layer (the same layer addressed in surgical facelifts). This energy heats the tissue to the optimal temperature to stimulate collagen and elastin production.

Over time, this results in firmer, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.

Radio Frequency Body Contouring & Fat Cavitation

What is RF Body Contouring?

RF Body Contouring (Radio Frequency Body Contouring) is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses radio frequency (RF) energy to reduce fat, tighten skin, and improve body shape without surgery or downtime.

How does RF Body Contouring Work?

Radio frequency body contouring heats the skin to over 40 degrees which safely and comfortably minimises the appearance of cellulite dimpling and fatty bulges, while tightening the skin and improving the contours of the target area. At the deepest level, the RF alters the network of connective tissues that hold the fat cells in place, pulling them closer together so that the cellulite does not bulge out and create the well-known rippling we associate with cellulite. RF also targets the fat cells themselves, causing them to shrink in size, which has the effect of slimming down the target area.

How does Vacuum RF Therapy Work?

The vacuum RF therapy system uses suction and pressure to release the fluids in the fat cells that cause cellulite. Along with radio frequency energies to create superficial and deep heating of connective tissue fibres, dermal collagen fibres and fat cells. These energies soften the connective tissue and stimulate the production of new collagen for improved skin elasticity and resilience. Vacuum RF therapy can be done over the entire body. Although the most common areas are legs, buttocks, abdomen and upper arms.

How Does Cavitation Work?

Ultrasound cavitation is the use of high-frequency ultrasound technology to break down fat cells below the skin aiding in slimming and toning. It is a non-surgical method of reducing cellulite and localised fat by delivering controlled heat and sound waves, the device disrupts stubborn fat deposits, converting them into a liquid form that is naturally eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system and urinary tract. Radio frequency (RF) Skin Tightening: Employs RF energy to stimulate collagen production, tightening and firming the skin for a more youthful appearance. Sonophoresis Skincare Infusion: Enhances the absorption of skincare products during facials, promoting radiant and rejuvenated skin.

Expected Results:

Ultrasound cavitation is not a treatment for obesity nor is it a weight loss procedure. It is a method for reshaping and toning the body. It is intended to reduce localised fat tissues around the abdomen, waist, buttocks and thighs
The ultrasound cavitation treatment will often give immediate visible results that can be long-lasting
Some clients can experience between one to four centimetres of circumference reduction after a single treatment with increasing results after more visits
Multiple treatments are required, generally one per week depending on the results you want to achieve
