High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, or HIFU for short, is an innovative skin tightening treatment that can treat loose skin on the face. It does this through stimulating the production of collagen and the regeneration of tissue, which has a tightening and lifting effect on loose skin. If you’re seeking HIFU skin tightening treatment for the face, neck or décolletage, arrange a consultation at The Greville Clinic. We make use of state-of-the-art HIFU technology, allowing us to deliver a HIFU facelift that helps clients achieve their desired results.
Before undergoing HIFU for loose skin, our nurse will consult with you to identify your concerns and determine whether HIFU face treatment is right for you. While a number of sessions may be required to enhance results depending on the laxity of skin and the presence of any wrinkles and lines, it’s possible for results to be seen within 4-12 weeks after just a single treatment. Our nurse will assess your skin and inform you of the recommended number of sessions during your consultation. They can also show you HIFU facelift before and after photos so you can see the results that are possible.
The HIFU facelift itself is tolerated well by most, with our nurses able to adjust settings to your level of comfort. Treatment sessions are often no longer than 30 minutes to an hour for the face. After the treatment, you can expect some mild redness on the face, although there is no downtime required. This means you’re fine to go about your day-to-day activities afterwards.
If you’d like to know more about what’s involved with HIFU face treatment, don’t hesitate to contact us or arrange a consultation with one of our experienced nurses.
HIFU treatment works by sending high frequency ultrasound waves deep beneath the layers of the skin, targeting the muscle layer. HIFU face treatment has been found to penetrate more deeply than laser, making it the gold-standard treatment for skin tightening.
The high frequency waves cause the tissue to vibrate, causing localised heat. The temperature reaches 65 degrees, which is hot enough to cause muscles and surrounding tissues to contract, helping to stimulate collagen and promote tissue regeneration. This ultimately has the effect of tightening skin and minimising the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the face.
In addition to tightening loose and sagging skin and reducing wrinkles, a HIFU facelift can also help improve the general appearance of the face, neck and décolletage, provide a lift to the eyebrows, eyelids and cheeks, and enhance the definition of the jawline.
