Description
The basic concept of HIFU principle- is that it induces a vibration in the molecules of the targeted area on the face/body which results in thermal energy, caused by the friction, to penetrate the skin. The HIFU transducer will release a highly concentrated focus of ultrasonic energy (65-75 degrees) and deliver this into the deep layers of skin causing no damage to the skins surface.
Following the initial treatment, the skin starts to undergo a wound healing process that stimulates collagen synthesis and regeneration.
An immediate effect can be noticed following a single treatment however, improvement continues for up to 4 weeks. After 12 weeks there will be no more visible effects.
Results from 1 treatment can last 1-2 years

What is HIFU?
- HIFU stands for ‘High Intensity Focused Ultrasound’,
- This treatment can target various depths of the body’s tissue for skin tightening, skin lifting and body contouring.
- Entirely non-invasive, HIFU works by targeting deep layers in the skin it boosts new collagen production and collagen regeneration right at the source.
- The HIFU System integrates the capabilities of ultrasound imaging with those of ultrasound therapy.
- The HIFU system directs acoustic waves to the treatment area. This acoustic energy heats tissue as a result of frictional losses during energy absorption, producing discrete points of coagulation.
How does it works?
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) directly delivers heat energy to skin and subcutaneous tissue that can stimulate and renew the skin’s collagen and thus consequently improving the texture and reducing sagging of the skin. It literally achieves the results of a facelift or a body lift without any invasive surgery or injections.
