High Intensity Focused Ultrasound
For ladies and gents
Sagging skin, wrinkles in the neck and cleavage. To act against the effects of ageing, some people resort to a well known surgical method, the facelift but there is a lifting technique which can achieve the same effect without surgery or injections and without pain.
It is possible to tighten and firm your skin without surgery and without spending a fortune and that’s with High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, a technique that is based on the use of ultrasound. Bonus – High Intensity Focused Ultrasound promotes the natural regeneration of collagen and elastin. No injections, no chemicals, no scalpels.
What is High Intensity Focused Ultrasound?
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound is a technique which consists of concentrating the energy of the ultrasounds in the dermis (the deposit part of the skin) without damaging the epidermis (the most superficial layer of the skin). It is therefore a non-invasive aesthetic technique that leaves no marks or scars on the skin.
Who can have High Intensity Focused Ultrasound?
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound is ideal for men and women who are looking to firm and “tighten” the skin, especially on the chin, neck and cheeks. It is also useful for wrinkles, under eye area and for around the mouth. High Intensity Focused Ultrasound is especially recommended for people over 50 years old who notice sagging skin, wrinkles sagging cheeks and who wish to redefine the shape of their face and have a more skin toned appearance.
Is High Intensity Focused Ultrasound painful?
The perceived sensation depends a lot on the person. Most patients describe that it’s not painful but slightly unpleasant. A localised increase in body temperature, is felt as the ultrasound produces heat. The esthetician can adjust the settings during the treatment if the pain is too great.
What results can be obtained with High Intensity Focused Ultrasound?
The main advantage is that it offers results from the first session and directly after the session. The results will continue to improve gradually and are fully noticeable after 12 weeks, with an improvement in skin elasticity. We observe that the skin is more flexible and tight, the face shape is tighter and better declined, facial features are enhanced and wrinkles of the neck and cleavage are less visible.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound for slimming and contouring
According to studies in the treatment of fat in the stomach area, a reduction in the waist of 4.6cm on average is obtained after three months. On the body, the results seem to be observed a little faster. Four weeks after the treatment, the skin is visibly firmer and tighter.
How many sessions of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound are required?
The estimation on how many sessions depends on the condition of the skin and the results obtained after the first session. Most of the time, two to three sessions are necessary to achieve optimal, visible and long-lasting results. Maintenance sessions can then be performed on a less regular basis, one or two times a year.
Consultation prior to treatment
A $45 consultation fee is required. It will take approximately 25 minutes. Your consultation fee will count towards your deposit, if you decide to proceed with the treatment. A full face and neck will take 90 minutes. High Intensity Focused Ultrasound treatment, will take approximately 60 to 90 minutes (including photographs). High Intensity Focused Ultrasound body sculpting treatments may vary from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area of concern.
