3D HIFU Face & Neck
Hight Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-surgical treatment which targets various depths of the body’s tissue for skin tightening, skin lifting and body contouring. HIFU targets deep layers in the skin boosting new collagen production and collagen regeneration. The treatment is fast, effective and has no downtime and is highly effect on the face and neck.

How 3D HIFU Works
The HIFU handpiece delivers focussed ultrasound waves to a precise depth to cause necrosis of the fat cell. The controlled movement of the handpiece results in a grid of treated fat cells. The high frequency of the ultrasound wave, results in rapid heating of the focal zone at 1.3cm and 8mm under the skin leaving the skins surface unaffected. However this energy increases in temperature as it gets deeper within the skin due to the energy of the HIFU causing cellular friction. Exposing the fat cell to this high temperature causes rapid cell death (necrosis).

HIFU Treatments
This treatment is great for busting those unwanted stubborn pockets of fat. Recommended areas for treatment are typically: Face and Neck. A single treatment per area is recommended.
A handpiece will be placed on the skin, this is the handpiece used to target focussed energy to the fat cells. The handpiece is placed on the area of treatment and held there for approximately 2 minutes, this will be repeated 3 times per treatment area. During treatment, you may feel the warmth of the handpiece, and it some cases it may get slightly hot and uncomfortable. You may also feel a slight vibration and tingling sensation, although this is completely normal.
A single treatment per area is recommended.
Results
Results can be seen from 2 – 4 months post treatment and last between 12-18 months. The average reduction of the treatment area after just one single session is typically 2 – 4cm.
3D-HIFU body is best for targeting stubborn pockets of fat, however if you wish to have more of an overall fat reduction treatment your practitioner may recommend combining your 3D-HIFU body treatment as part of a treatment course incorporating other technologies for a more complete fat reduction treatment.

HIFU FACE & Neck FAQs
The face and neck are treatable areas. Whilst HIFU can treat other area such as the stomach, our practitioners may recommend other treatments such as skin tightening or fat freezing.
