The HIFU face treatment works by sending highly focused acoustic energy below the skin’s surface to cause cellular friction within the molecules, resulting in precise, target-point heating. The friction between these molecules produces heat and thermal injury at a focal point within the skin tissue to create thermal coagulation zones at 3 selected depths (1.5mm, 3.0mm and 4.5mm), leaving the skin’s surface unaffected.

Delivering this focused energy to the dermal tissue causes immediate trauma to the treatment zone which then promotes heating, immediate contraction and collagen stimulation. The healing process works over approximately 180 days, stimulating long-term tissue repair leading to further lifting and tightening.

The SMAS layer (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) is also targeted during the treatment and is composed of collagen and elastin fibres, similar to those of the dermal tissue, and when treated, gives a long-lasting tightening effect.

Similarly, to the HIFU face treatment, HIFU body also works by using highly focused acoustic energy to create target-point heating.

However, this treatment targets different depths of 7mm and 13mm. 7mm targets superficial fat removal while 13mm targets a deeper fat removal.

The effect creates a focal point of energy, explosive adipocytes at 13mm to temperatures of 60-65°C . Exposing the fat cells to these high temperatures for 1 second causes rapid cell death by coagulative necrosis.
