What is HIFU?
HIFU is the name given to the facial tightening treatment harnessing the power of
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound
​
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultrasound waves to treat certain conditions, such as skin laxity and signs of ageing.
The very high-intensity and highly focused sound waves interact with targeted tissues to modify or destroy them. In this case we target lax cortical collagen, snapping tight the aged collagen and producing an immediate tightening both visible and tangible.
Over the following weeks the body produces new collagen to replace the tightened aged fibres.
The result is an instant improvement that gets better over the following weeks.
Is it painful?
Get ready to embrace the thrilling sensation that comes with this treatment! It's important to note that everyone experiences it a little differently, which adds to the uniqueness of your journey. As with any treatment that generates heat, you'll find that the sensation gradually intensifies throughout the process, creating a dynamic experience.
Effective communication is absolutely vital during your treatment. Your Practitioner is dedicated to ensuring that every aspect is tailored to your needs, so if you happen feel any discomfort at any point, please don’t hesitate to express your feelings. This way, adjustments can be made to enhance your comfort and achieve the best possible outcome for your treatment.
Most clients describe the sensation as a warm, tingly, and pulsing feeling that is generally quite tolerable. While the heat may build over time, many find it to be a comfortable experience overall, making it a journey worth taking!

Is this treatment right for me?
There is a wide array of facial treatment options available, and you may have noticed even at our own clinic, the choices can be quite extensive and potentially confusing!
The reason we offer such a diverse selection is multifaceted:
- It’s important to understand that not every treatment is suitable for every individual. Each person's skin is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another.
- Different conditions, qualities, and types necessitate different approaches to treatment. This means that a tailored strategy is essential for achieving the best results.
- Additionally, factors such as your lifestyle and the environment you live in can significantly influence which treatments are most appropriate for you.
There are also several other important elements to take into account when considering your options:
- The cost of treatments can vary widely, and it’s essential to find something that fits your budget.
- Downtime is another factor; some treatments may require more recovery time than others.
- Personal preferences play a crucial role in your decision-making process.
- If you have had previous treatments or are currently undergoing procedures, such as dermal fillers, this can affect your options as well.
- Finally, the number of sessions you are willing to commit to or wish to undertake in order to reach your desired goals is an important consideration.
