HIFU
NON-SURGICAL ALTERNATIVE TO A FACELIFT
Give skin back its snap… High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, also known as ‘HIFU’, ‘non-surgical face lift’, ‘lunchtime face lift’ has become one of the most sought-after lifting, firming, and tightening treatments for face and neck.
HIFU uses Focused Ultrasound to target the deep structural layers of the skin with heat, which it does without damaging the skin’s surface. HIFU is one of the few treatments that can reach the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS)— which was previously accessible only via surgery. The result is a natural lift with virtually no downtime.
You will see that results continue to improve up to 12 weeks post treatment. Our HIFU technology can be adjusted to a range a depths, depending on your level of concern to reduce lines and wrinkles, crepeyness, laxity and excess fat.
In terms of results you can expect real changes that lift, firm and tighten jawlines, sculpt cheekbones, reduce under eye bags and lift brow areas.
We recommend one to three treatments per year, depending on your skin laxity.

HIFU Body Sculpting
Highly targeted fat reduction and skin tightening treatments with High intensity focused ultrasound. HIFU energy penetrates through the skins layers.The high frequency of the ultrasound results in heating deeper under the skin, more effectively destroying fat cells and tightening the skin.
The damaged cells are flushed from the body via a natural removal process. Most clients see an improvement two to three weeks after the first treatment. Results will continue to get better over time, peaking at 12 weeks following the final treatment. For optimal results a course is recommended.

Skin pen Microneedling
Younger skin that doesn’t yet require lifting and tightening can benefit from microneedling without the radio frequency, where the focus is more on refining pores, evening out texture and improving overall quality.
Skin Pen Precision is a leading skin remodelling device that creates temporary small microscopic channels in your skin. This simple procedure activates your body’s natural skin healing power to increase collagen and elastin so your skin returns to a healthier looking and glowy appearance.

Radio Frequency Microneedling
Radio frequency microneedling has a number of benefits for the skin
The main aim of the treatment is to generate collagen so that your skin feels tighter, smoother and softer. After your treatment you will see a smoothing of visible fine lines and a reduction in the appearance of pores for fresh bright and tight skin.
For skin laxity cases, results can be seen in half the time, compared to single standalone microneedling.
Radio frequency microneedling is also perfect for scarring and stretch marks, it stimulates the repairing process by immediately boosting the production of collagen, giving the skin a more even texture.
Results can be seen after just one session. However, a minimum of two and up to six treatments, at four week intervals, deliver the best results depending on the skin concern.
Our clients love how their skin looks and their results get better and better over time.

FAQs
HIFU
What is High Intensity Focussed Ultrasound (HIFU)?
Deep in the skin is the SMAS layer, this is the layer a surgeon will physically lift in a facelift, being so deep it’s difficult to target with non-surgical treatments- until now! Focus Dual HIFU face lift creates deep focus points of coagulative necrosis, in the SMAS layer through heat zones. These heat zones kickstart the production of collagen and elastin, natural proteins needed for youthful looking skin.
The SMAS layer is immediately contracted without damage to the skin surface or surrounding tissues, this creates immediate tightening and lifting. As the skin’s wound healing response is triggered the skin naturally lifts, firms, and tightens over time. You will see that results continue to improve up to 12 weeks post treatment. Our HIFU technology can be adjusted to a range a depths, depending on your level of concern to reduce lines and wrinkles, crepeyness, laxity and excess fat.
In terms of results you can expect real changes that lift, firm and tighten jawlines, sculpt cheekbones, reduce under eye bags and lift brow areas. All in all, there is nothing better to give your skin back it’s SNAP!
Additionally, this innovative device utilises focused ultrasound waves to define, sculpt and reduce. This non-surgical fat reduction and skin tightening treatment focuses energy at specific depths into the subcutaneous fat layer, to disrupt stubborn fat cells without damaging non-targeted areas. The treated cells are then flushed away via the body’s natural detoxification processes. Furthermore, the heat generated during the treatment tightens the skin from the inside out. Focus Dual is the ideal treatment if you are looking to target multiple concerns with virtually no downtime. Focus Dual HIFU treatment should be used to complement a healthy lifestyle.
What makes Focus Dual HIFU unique?
Safety Assist Transducers (SAT), unique to the Focus Dual, emit high intensity ultrasound waves in a unique pattern that allows for safer and more comfortable treatments for ALL skin types.

How does a HIFU facial treatment work?
This non-surgical face lift works on the SMAS layer deep below the skin, which is the area surgeons tighten for face and neck lifts. Rather than surgery, the Focus Dual harnesses ultrasound technology to radiate energy to the SMAS layer to tighten, lift and plump the skin.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatments are carried out every 4-6 weeks and typically between 1 and 3 treatments are recommended for best results. Top-up sessions are performed as required, but usually only once or twice a year.
How long will it take for me to see results?
Results can usually be seen immediately, but the results get better and better up to 12 weeks post treatment as your collagen is renewed.
We expect results to last 1-2 years, but this can be dependent on lifestyle and maintenance.
Is there any downtime with a HIFU treatment?
Due to the non-invasive nature of HIFU treatments, there is virtually no downtime. You may experience slight redness following the treatment, and a small percentage of our clients do experience minor swelling, tingling or tenderness. These symptoms are mild and temporary.
You will be able to return to your normal activities straight away, and there are no special recovery measures needed. This is why HIFU has earned the name “lunchtime face lift”.
Microneedling and mesotherapy
How long does it take to see results from Microneedling?
Plain and simple: healthy skin! And healthy skin is better-looking skin.
Some clients can feel a difference in their skin in as little as 24 hours. However, the time it takes for the body to produce new and healthy collagen and elastin is 4-6 weeks, which is when you are likely to see long-lasting results.
What is Microneedling useful for?
Microneedling is useful for fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tones and skin scarring issues, whether it be due to injuries or acne.
It also helps to tighten the skin, and makes everything look smoother and firmer.
How does Mesotherapy compare with other procedures?
Mesotherapy procedures can be combined with a variety of other treatments, such as dermal fillers or wrinkle-reducing injections. This is because it is not an invasive procedure. It can be used as a maintenance treatment following more advanced treatments, or as a standalone procedure.
What are the side effects?
This varies from client to client, but red skin for the first 24 hours is common. Some people experience slight bruising, but this is also temporary.
How long should I wait between treatments?
At least 4-6 weeks. This gives your skin a chance to breathe, and also gives you the chance to see results.
Radio frequency microneedling
How does Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling work?
Plain and simple: healthy skin! And healthy skin is better-looking skin.
Ultrafine needles penetrate the skin to different depths whilst simultaneously releasing radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the skin in a controlled manner, stimulating a wound healing response leading to the production of new collagen and elastin.
Our patients love how natural their skin looks and the results get better and better over time.
Can Radiofrequency Microneedling (RFM) be used on patients of all ages?
Yes, younger skin that doesn’t yet require lifting and tightening can benefit from Microneedling without the RF, where the focus is now more on refining pores, evening out texture and improving overall quality.
Older patients with laxity concerns benefit from the dual effect of the Microneedling with Radiofrequency. As the Focus Dual offers many different needle depths and intensity settings for RF, treatments can be easily customised for every different skin and level of concern.
How many sessions will I need?
Results can be seen after just one session. However, a minimum of 2 and up to 6 treatments, at 4-week intervals, deliver the best results, depending on the skin concern.
What results should I expect?
Most patients see an improvement 2 to 3 weeks after the first treatment. Results are natural and get better over time, peaking at 12 weeks following the final treatment.
Will there be downtime?
There is virtually no downtime. A slight swelling and redness are present immediately post-treatment and should subside quickly.
Skin pen microneedling
What is SkinPen Micro-needling?
SkinPen Micro-needling is a leading skin remodelling device that creates temporary small microscopic channels in your skin. This simple procedure activates your body’s natural skin healing power to increase collagen and elastin so your skin returns to a healthier looking and youthful appearance.
This treatment creates hundreds to thousands of “micro” skin punctures per second to stimulate the skin’s natural wound healing process – inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling – to prompt tissue remodeling without causing scar tissue formation. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24 hours.
What are the benefits of the SkinPen treatment?
SkinPen can treat anything from fine lines & wrinkles, acne scars to sun or age spots.
SkinPen is clinically proven to fighting the appearance of neck wrinkles and reduce the appearance of acne scars. It’s a minimally invasive procedure with little downtime. As the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, SkinPen sets the industry standard for safety.
Will it work for me?
Unlike some alternatives, SkinPen has been clinically proven to be effective for women and men with skin ranging from light to very dark. Likewise, unlike lasers or chemical peels that can damage skin over the long term, SkinPen treatments, when properly spaced and overseen by a physician, can be used for years.
