HIFU (High Intensity Focussed Ultrasound), is a non-invasive skin tightening procedure at Sculpt Me in London, that helps tighten loose skin that is often left behind after weight loss, fat-loss procedures and post pregnancy. Define abdomen muscles, tighten loose skin or sculpt the jawline in just a single treatment*. The treatment delivers focussed ultrasound energy into the target area, stimulating and formulating new collagen to strengthen and tighten the skin.
FAQ
The HIFU hand-piece is placed on the area of concern, multiple depths of ultrasound energy is emitted into the various levels of the skin and the muscle. This in return promotes collagen synthesis which is responsible for skin laxity and muscle fibres. In the coming weeks after the treatment, collagen and muscle fibres strengthen which in return lifts and tightens sagging skin.
The number of HIFU treatments depends on person to person’s skin laxity and concerns. Most clients see results after just one session which will continue to develop in the coming months. but for individuals who are looking for a more dramatic lift or deep skin tightening a full course of three treatments are recommended.
Some results appear immediately which are visible on outer skin (epidermis), deeper results will appear 3-6 months post treatment in the dermis and lower muscle area.
Treatments are usually spaced at 6 week intervals, as this allows enough time for the skin to regenerate.
At Sculpt Me London, we use the latest Ultraforma lll machine.
