High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, or HIFU for short, is a treatment that can assist with skin tightening, fat reduction and treatment of lines and wrinkles. It works by regenerating the skin and boosting collagen production to tighten and lift loose skin. At The Greville Clinic, we offer HIFU skin treatment using the latest technology to address skin concerns affecting the body.
Before undergoing a HIFU treatment in Melbourne, one of our nurses will consult with you to identify your skin concerns and devise a treatment plan to help you achieve your desired result. If you’re seeking HIFU for skin tightening, follow up treatments may be required depending on your skin laxity.
Settings can be adjusted to suit individual tolerances to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment. The treatment can take up to 2 hours depending on the size of the area being treated. No downtime is required; however, some mild redness may be experienced on the treated area.
For many years now, ultrasound technology has been safely used for medical treatments and to carry out diagnostic tests. It was only in recent years that the cosmetic benefits of HIFU became apparent, with a clinical experiment showing its ability to reach dermal layers that laser treatments are unable to target.
HIFU skin treatment works by focusing high frequency tissue vibration on the deep layers of the skin, including the muscle layer. In addition to being able to penetrate deeper than laser treatment, HIFU is capable of targeting hard to reach areas such as around the eyes and mouth.
The high frequency waves cause vibrations that heat to 65 degrees beneath the skin surface, causing the muscle and surrounding tissues to contract. This regenerates collagen in the area, which has a tightening effect while also helping to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
HIFU also disrupts fat tissues beneath the skin, making it a suitable treatment option for reducing stubborn fat in the abdomen, arms and other areas.
The Greville Clinic can perform HIFU in Melbourne on various areas of the body affected by sagging or ageing skin, including:
In addition to the above body areas, we also offer HIFU facial treatment options. This includes a HIFU facelift targeting various areas of the face, helping to tighten the skin and minimise lines and wrinkles.
