Areas that can be treated
HIFU can be used in a variety of facial and body areas. On the face, it may help improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin tone, and skin laxity. This includes areas such as the forehead, eyebrows, under-eye area, cheeks, jawline, and under the chin.
On the body, HIFU can be used to support contouring in areas such as the upper arms, abdomen, hips, thighs, and flanks.
Treatment process
Every treatment begins with a personalised consultation to ensure HIFU is appropriate for your needs. During the session, a handpiece is applied to the skin to deliver precise ultrasound energy at selected depths. The treatment duration will depend on the area being addressed — for example, a combined face and neck session may take 60–90 minutes, while a single body area may take around 60 minutes.
During the process, you may feel brief sensations of warmth or tingling, which indicate that the ultrasound energy is stimulating the targeted layers. Most clients find this comfortable.
After your session
Following treatment, the skin may appear slightly flushed, which usually settles within a few hours. There is generally no downtime, meaning you can return to your usual daily activities straight away. Makeup, skincare, and other routine practices can typically be continued without interruption.
Results and follow-up
Some clients notice initial changes soon after their session, with further improvements developing over the following two to three months as the body’s natural collagen production continues. Results vary from person to person, depending on factors such as skin condition and lifestyle.
A personalised treatment plan will outline whether one course or occasional maintenance sessions are recommended to help you maintain your desired look over time.
