HIFU SKIN TIGHTENING
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is the #1 non invasive treatment for skin tightening, lifting and firming. Harnessing the power of focused ultrasound energy, HIFU stimulates collagen production deep within the skin, resulting in a firmer, lifted appearance while reducing fine lines and wrinkles. HIFU is now available at our clinic in Peterborough.
WHAT IS HIFU?
HIFU, also known as the "non-surgical facelift" works to tighten, lift and firm the skin in just one treatment with virtually no downtime meaning you can resume your normal activities straight away.
​
HIFU has become one of the most sought after anti ageing treatments due to its non invasive nature and impressive results.
​
IS HIFU SUITABLE FOR ME?
​
If you are looking to tighten sagging, crepey skin and reduce the signs of ageing such as lines and wrinkles, HIFU is the answer.
​
HIFU is not only a fantastic restorative and regenerative treatment for ageing skin but also the perfect option for younger clients looking to prevent the signs of ageing and maintain their youthful appearance and for clients who have experienced significant weight loss or post pregnancy and want to tighten up loose skin and reduce fat.
​
HIFU is a low maintenance option with long lasting results. Typically clients will require 1 - 3 sessions depending on their desired results.
​
Instant improvement in skin laxity is often seen immediately following treatment however full results can be seen after 3 months.
​
Results typically last 1-2 years and annual maintenance treatments are recommended.

HIFU SKIN TIGHTENING RESULTS
​
THE SCIENCE OF HIFU
​
Utilising targeted ultrasound energy, HIFU penetrates deep into the skin layers, stimulating collagen production and encouraging cellular regeneration.
​
HIFU delivers 65 - 75°C of ultrasound energy to the targeted layers of skin with no damage to the surface of the skin at all. This triggers the cells to produce new collagen and kick start dormant collagen.
THE SMAS LAYER
The deepest layer of the skin. This connects the fat tissue with the muscle layer and plays an integral part in facial support which naturally decreases as we age. The SMAS layer (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) is the layer of skin surgeons tighten during a traditional face lift. HIFU targets this layer at a depth of 4.5mm to strengthen and tighten the skin without the need for invasive procedures.
​
THE DERMIS
The dermis is responsible for the production of collagen and elastin. HIFU targets this layer at a depth of 3mm to stimulate collagen production and renewal, enhancing the effects for superficial tightening, lifting and wrinkle reduction.
​
THE EPIDERMIS
The epidermis is the very top layer of the skin where we can see the visible effects of ageing. HIFU targets this layer at a depth of 1.5mm to tackle surface lines and wrinkles for a fresher, youthful appearance.
