HIFU is not suitable for everyone. Please let your therapist know before booking if any of the following apply to you:
A free consultation is always available beforehand so we can check the treatment is right for you.
Every client has a consultation before their first treatment so we can talk through your skin, health history, and goals, and confirm the treatment is suitable for you. If you are unsure whether a treatment is right for you, get in touch and we are happy to advise before you book.
We will assess your skin and discuss the areas you would like to target (face, neck, or jawline) and what results you can realistically expect.
Your skin is cleansed and a small amount of gel is applied to help the ultrasound energy transmit evenly.
A handheld device delivers focused ultrasound energy beneath the skin surface. You may feel brief warmth or tingling as it passes over bone or more sensitive areas - this is normal and short-lived.
A full face and neck treatment typically takes 60-90 minutes.
Skin may look slightly flushed for a few hours. There is no downtime, so you can return to normal activities straight away.
Initial tightening is visible immediately for some clients, but the main collagen-building effect builds gradually over 2-3 months as new collagen forms.
"Had HIFU on face and neck and results are amazing! Would definitely recommend this service here."
