High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-surgical treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to target specific depths beneath the skin. The treatment isdesigned to stimulate the body's natural collagen production, which may assistin improving skin firmness, texture and overall skin quality over time.
HIFU is commonly used on the face and neck and may be suitable for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity who are seeking a non-surgical treatment option. Treatment plans are personalised following an individual consultation and assessment.
How HIFU Works
HIFU delivers focused ultrasound energy to precise depths within the skin and underlying tissue. This controlled energy creates thermal points beneath the skin without affecting the surface, stimulating the body's natural collagen production.
Different treatment depths are selected depending on the treatment area and individual concerns:
- 6.5mm Cartridge (when clinically appropriate): May be used for suitable candidateswith fullness beneath the chin as part of an individualised treatment plan.
- 4.5mm Cartridge: Targets the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer, commonly treated to support lifting and tightening of the lower face, jawline and neck.
- 3.0mm Cartridge: Targets the deeper dermis to support collagen stimulation andimprovements in skin firmness and elasticity.
- 1.5mm Cartridge: Targets the upper dermal layers and may assist with improving skintexture, fine lines and overall skin rejuvenation.
- Precision HIFU Wand: Designed to treat smaller or more delicate areas that standard cartridges cannot comfortably access, including crow's feet, frown lines, lip lines, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and the lip and chin area.
