High Intensity Focus Ultra Sound

Defy Gravity with High Intensity Focused Ultrasound

In the realm of aesthetic treatments, the quest for a more youthful, lifted appearance is evergreen. While invasive procedures like facelifts have long been the gold standard, a revolutionary non-surgical alternative has emerged: High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). This cutting-edge technology harnesses the power of ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin, defying gravity and the signs of ageing.

What is High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)?

HIFU is a non-invasive treatment that utilises focused ultrasound energy to target specific depths within the skin's layers. This targeted energy creates precise zones of thermal coagulation, stimulating the body's natural healing response and prompting the production of new collagen and elastin – the building blocks of firm, youthful-looking skin.

How Does HIFU Work?

During an HIFU treatment, a specialized device emits highly focused ultrasound energy into the deeper layers of the skin, creating controlled heat at precise depths. This heat triggers the skin's natural regenerative process, stimulating the production of fresh collagen and elastin fibers.

As the body's collagen and elastin levels increase over time, the skin becomes noticeably tighter, lifted, and more contoured, resulting in a rejuvenated, youthful appearance.

The Lynton Focus Dual: A Stand-Alone HIFU Powerhouse At our clinic, we proudly offer the Lynton Focus Dual, a state-of-the-art, stand-alone HIFU system that delivers unparalleled results. Unlike combined systems like Morpheus 8, which incorporate both radiofrequency and microneedling technologies, the Lynton Focus Dual is dedicated solely to HIFU, ensuring optimal performance and precision.

The Benefits of a Stand-Alone HIFU System:

1. Targeted Treatment: By focusing exclusively on HIFU technology, the Lynton Focus Dual can deliver highly concentrated ultrasound energy to specific areas, maximizing the lifting and tightening effects.

2. Customisable Depths: The system allows for precise depth control, enabling customised treatments tailored to each individual's unique skin concerns and requirements.

3. Enhanced Safety: With no additional technologies involved, the risk of potential complications or side effects is minimised, ensuring a safe and effective treatment experience.

4. Optimal Results: By leveraging the full power of HIFU without any competing technologies, the Lynton Focus Dual can achieve superior lifting, tightening, and contouring results.

Areas treated with HIFU

HIFU treatments can be tailored to address a variety of concerns and target multiple areas of the face and body, including:

• Face: Lift and tighten the skin on the jawline, cheeks, and brow area, reducing the appearance of sagging and wrinkles.

• Neck: Improve the appearance of a sagging or "turkey" neck by tightening and lifting the skin.

• Décolletage: Smooth and firm the delicate skin on the chest area, diminishing the signs of ageing.

• Body: Target areas like the abdomen, arms, and thighs to improve skin laxity and achieve a more toned, contoured appearance.

What to Expect During a HIFU Treatment

Following consultation, consent and pre treatment photographs, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and prepared. Following marking up a specialized ultrasound gel will be applied to the treatment area to facilitate the efficient delivery of ultrasound energy.

During the procedure, the HIFU device will be gently guided over the targeted areas, delivering focused ultrasound energy at precise depths.

Results and Aftercare

The results of HIFU treatments are not immediate, as the skin needs time to respond to the thermal coagulation and initiate the collagen and elastin production process. Most individuals notice a gradual improvement in skin tightness and lifting within 2-3 months, with continued enhancement over the following 6-12 months as the collagen remodelling process continues.

To optimise the results, it is recommended to follow a prescribed aftercare routine, which may include avoiding direct sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and staying hydrated.

What is the cost of HIFU treatments?

The cost of HIFU varies depending on the area treated. Prices start at £275 for the eye area up to £750 for full face and neck or large body areas

Does HIFU hurt?

While some discomfort may be experienced, it is generally well-tolerated, and the treatment is non-invasive and requires no downtime, hence the term lunchtime face lift
