Next Generation Technology

Unparalleled results

WE ARE ONE OF THE VERY FIRST CLINICS IN THE WHOLE OF THE U.K TO HAVE HIFU COOL – if you think you know HIFU, think again!

Ice cooled handpiece for comfortable, pain free treatment, plus super fast treatment time, rapid continual firing of shots results in greatly reduced treatment times, a full face can be completed in 20 minutes.

Revolutionary new technology allows sweeping motions as well as upward lifting motion to create maximum lift.

What is HIFU?

HIFU stands for high intensity focused ultrasound and is an innovative, painless and non-invasive way to reduce wrinkles that lasts up to two years. Additional applications include face and brow lifting, tightening of the connective tissue, cellulite treatment and fat reduction. Highly concentrated ultrasound waves penetrate deep into the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production. Some clients see results immediately after the treatment., however, the main benefits are more gradual and can continue for 3-6 months when the final result is visible, and can last anywhere up to 2 years depending on lifestyle.

How does HIFU work?

The highly focused ultrasound used in HIFU COOL activates and accelerates the body’s own healing process in the face, neck and décolletage areas and thereby helps sagging skin to tighten itself and become more firm. This method requires no creams, no artificial filler products or toxins. It relies solely on the body’s natural regenerative capacity. Since the treatment targets deeper layers, the surface of the skin is not affected. After the treatment, you can simply go about your usual activities. The HIFU COOL procedure stimulates collagen production via a targeted input of ultrasound energy into the deep tissue layers of the skin. This warms the tissue, which in turn triggers a natural skin response that initiates a regenerative process through the production of collagen fibres. The HIFU COOL procedure bypasses the skin’s surface and focuses entirely on the deep, structural layers of the skin where collagen is deposited.

The treatment process

The ultrasound probe is moved in upwards motions in the direction we are trying to create lift over, as well as in sweeping motions over the treatment areas, the high intensity focused ultrasound waves then reach the underlying connective tissue and generate the desired skin-tightening effects. The overlying skin layers remain unaffected, which means the lifting can be carried out gently and without a trace. Although some areas requiring extra lift may need to have the intensity increased to achieve maximum lift. This mostly occurs in the 60+ age range. The gentle form of lifting can be used on the entire face to counteract sagging skin. The following areas are ideal for treatment: the neck region, chin, cheeks and eyebrow area. During a session, an individual area can be treated or all areas can be treated at once.

How long does treatment take?

A single treatment takes between 5 to 40 minutes, depending on the area beinig treated.

How many treatments will I need?

Generally, excellent results can be achieved after just one HIFU Cool treatment, additional treatment is recommended in cases where there is significant ageing or there is asymmetry to the face which can be carried out at around 12 weeks after the first, or from 1 month where surface lines are being targeted, we will be happy to advise.

Treatment to a different area can be carried out at any time.

Multiple treatments may be needed to significantly reduce and reshape body areas, depending on desired result.

Side effects

After treatment, you can immediately resume your normal activities because the skin’s upper layers are not damaged by the high intensity ultrasound. In some cases, slight redness, tenderness or swelling may occur, which will quickly subside. There may also be a slight sensitivity to touch and light tingling sensation, which can persist for up to 2 weeks. (Very unusual)  In VERY rare cases, bruising, welting, temporary local numbness and small burns may occur. These side effects disappear after a few days. No side effects are usually seen 2 weeks post treatment.

Some slight aching, similar to a light workout at the gym can occasionally be felt on treated body areas, this is a sign you had an effective treatment!
