HIFU Ultra 7D
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) treatment is a sought-after lifting treatment for the face, neck & body without going under the knife.
HIFU Ultra 7D is the latest non-surgical technology using High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) and Micro-Macro Focused Ultrasound (MMFU) to deliver a non-invasive face, neck, and body lifting treatment. HIFU Ultra 7D also helps with lines, wrinkles, pores, skin tone, and laxity. One session can tighten and lift the skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin tone, providing visible results that will last up to 3 years.
HIFU Ultra 7D technology is unique in its ability to penetrate the dermis and the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) layer, which is deeper than all other non-invasive treatments. The SMAS layer is the same area tightened during conventional surgery, however, unlike surgery, HIFU is more affordable and requires no downtime.

- Normal cleansing regimes can be resumed after 24 hours, although avoid using scented or fragranced products around the treatment area unless you are using the skincare given to you at the clinic

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is HIFU?
HIFU, or High Intensity Focussed Ultrasound, is a breakthrough technology offering a non-invasive alternative to a traditional face lift, and is the only FDA approved treatment with a specific intent for improvement of lines and wrinkles on the face and décolleté, penetrating to depths only previously possible with surgery, without damaging the skin surface & superficial layers which was the problem with the use of laser and radio frequency (RF) equipment.
It also helps to improve the tone and all the features of your face such as your eyes, cheeks, mouth, chin and skin also making it a viable alternative to Botox, with the benefit of being able to maintain facial expression. Excellent for post surgical face lift to maintain the lift and treat blood stasis, scarring, and numbness.
HIFU can also be used to tighten and tone other parts of the body.
How does HIFU work?
HIFU uses high-intensity ultrasound to lift and tighten skin without any need for incisions. Ultrasound is a form of energy that is significantly different than light such as IPL and Lasers or Electrical (Radio-Frequency) energy. HIFU protects the surface of the skin, whilst also penetrating at deeper depths and higher temperatures (roughly 64°C) than Radio Frequency. For example, treating beyond the Dermis and Foundation layers, where structural weakening starts. This is all done precisely and safely to offer fantastic results.
Why should I use HIFU?
As a completely non-surgical, non-invasive procedure, High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound offers patients many benefits over other procedures:
- Clinically Proven
- FDA approved
- Safe and Effective
- Cost Effective Alternative to a Surgical Face Lift
- No Need for Anaesthesia or Sedation
- No Incisions or Risk of Infection
- No Downtime
- Comfortable and Painless Treatments
- Results can be seen after just one treatment (however some may need more than one treatment to obtain optimal results).
- Results can last for 1 year
- Usually, one treatment needed to see the results
With the advantage of three depth cartridges (1.5mm, 3mm, and 4.5mm), HIFU has the capability of penetrating to depths only previously possible with surgery. Our HIFU also has cartridges for 7 & 13mm depth penetration, which can be used for the abdomen, flanks, arms & thighs.
Who is suitable for HIFU?
Any adult who wishes to tighten and uplift their skin. It is used more for people in their 40s or beyond but, clinically speaking, can be used for all adults of all skin types and tones.

What happens before HIFU treatment?
A free, no-obligation consultation is given where we check your suitability for the procedure and assess your requirements so that we can provide a solution for you. We then discuss realistic results and any other relevant information. We also obtain your informed consent before starting HIFU treatment.
This depends on the age and skin of the person being treated, however one treatment is usually sufficient to provide good results for roughly one year (although this varies).
When can I expect to see results?
You can usually see some results immediately after treatment, with full results becoming visible in 3 to 6 months post-procedure.
How long do results last?
The duration of results, like the results themselves, differ from person to person, but usually results can last up to one year, and in some rare cases possibly beyond.
How many treatments are required?
This depends on the age and skin of the person being treated, however one treatment is usually sufficient to provide good results for roughly one year (although this varies).
