7D HIFU - Special Non-surgical treatment to help lift, tighten and tone thin & crepey skin

• What can I have HIFU for?
• Visibly tighter facial skin
• Smoother complexion
• More even skin tone
• Reduces visible signs of ageing
• Increases skin elasticity
• Brightens skin
• Improves the appearance of scarring
• Promotes and stimulates growth and structure of collagen production
• Underlying facial muscles tightened
• Tightens and lifts all skin areas - including face, neck, jowls, arms, “bingo wings”, hands, knees, thighs, buttocks, back, chest, “bra fat” and “love handles”
• Vaginal tightening (Medusa Treatment) - which may also help with bladder leakage.
• Safe non-invasive treatment

We generally recommend two treatments, and a follow-up annually. There are clients that are happy with the results and decide to only have one treatment. However this may be based on the degree of skin laxity, (age of skin) the biological response to ultrasound energy and the individual’s collagen-building process, some clients may benefit from additional treatments. Because skin continues to age, future touch-up treatments can help clients keep pace with the body’s natural aging process.

zero down time with any HIFU treatment

There aren’t many negatives to HIFU treatments – the safety profile is excellent, with the results speaking for themselves. You can expect a few small side-effects immediately after a treatment, which dissipate within 24-48 hours. You may experience:

• Redness
• Slight swelling
• Tingling or minor discomfort during treatments (if necessary, eased with pain medication)
• Some people experience tingling for a few days to a week after treatments
• Rarely, bruising or numbness, which dissipates within days

What does HIFU feel like?

You may experience slight discomfort which is very manageable during a HIFU procedure.  Some people describe it as tiny electric pulses or a light prickly sensation, but it is definitely not painful. If you’re worried about pain, you are welcome to take some anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen prior to treatment. Immediately after the treatment, you may experience tightness, mild redness or swelling, which will gradually recede over the next few hours.

Who can have HIFU?

Almost anyone can benefit from HIFU  treatments, but there are some people who cannot be treated due to the nature of this high-tech skin treatment. There are no restrictions based on gender, skin colour, skin type or age, however those with ageing skin tend to see the most obvious results.People who can’t get HIFU skin treatments include anyone with an active skin infection, open wounds or visible acne lesions in the treatment area. People with pacemakers or other electronic implants are not able to undergo this type of treatment, and those who are pregnant are also excluded.

Results can be less visible in those with extensive sun damage and people who smoke.

Will I Need to Take Time off Work?

With a single HIFU Therapy treatment there is no downtime. After your procedure, you can resume your normal activities immediately, without having to follow any special post-treatment measures. We have even had clients come up to the clinic on their lunchbreak to have the treatment, no creams required and your general skin care plan and make-up can be applied as normal.

You may see some initial effect with an inflammatory response with perhaps a little redness, but the ultimate results will take place over 2-3 months as your body naturally regenerates collagen

Since the treatment stimulates your own collagen production, how long the results last varies for each person.

The treatment produces new collagen on the inside, but your natural aging process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the outside

As the process of wound healing and collagen remodeling takes 2-3 weeks, the patient will see only 10% result in the 1st month, another 10% in the 2nd month and 80% result in the 3rd month.
