HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) for cosmetic procedures is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to rejuvenate and tighten the skin. It stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

During the procedure, ultrasound energy is delivered precisely to the target areas beneath the skin’s surface, causing thermal injury to the deep tissue layers. This thermal injury triggers the body’s natural healing response, leading to the production of new collagen, which helps to lift and tighten the skin over time.

HIFU can be used to address various cosmetic concerns, including:

1. Skin Tightening: HIFU can tighten loose or sagging skin on the face, neck, and décolletage, providing a more lifted and youthful appearance.

2. Wrinkle Reduction: By stimulating collagen production, HIFU can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.

3. Jawline Contouring: HIFU can define and sculpt the jawline by lifting and tightening the skin in the jowl area, reducing the appearance of a double chin or sagging skin along the jawline.

4. Cheek Lift: HIFU can lift and tighten the cheeks, restoring volume and definition to the mid-face area.

5. Brow Lift: HIFU can lift and elevate the eyebrows, reducing drooping and hooding of the upper eyelids.

HIFU is a popular choice for individuals seeking non-surgical alternatives to traditional facelift surgery. It is minimally invasive, with no downtime or recovery period, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles. Results from HIFU treatment are gradual and continue to improve over several months as collagen production increases, with effects lasting up to a year or more.

Overall, HIFU for cosmetic procedures offers a safe and effective way to achieve noticeable skin tightening and rejuvenation without the risks and downtime associated with surgery.

HIFU utilizes focused ultrasound energy to heat tissue beneath the skin’s surface, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. This results in improved skin elasticity and a more youthful appearance.

HIFU can be used to treat various areas of the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, arms, abdomen, and thighs, among others.

Discomfort levels vary among individuals, but most patients experience minimal discomfort during HIFU treatment. Numbing cream or local anesthesia may be used to ensure patient comfort.

The duration of a HIFU treatment session depends on the areas being treated but typically ranges from 45 minutes to 3 hours. Up 3 sessions may be recommended for optimal results.

There is minimal to no downtime after HIFU treatment, and patients can typically resume their normal activities immediately afterward. Some mild redness or swelling may occur, but it usually resolves within a few hours to days.

Patients may begin to see initial results from HIFU within a few weeks after treatment, with continued improvement over the following months as collagen production increases. Results can last up to a year or more.

Side effects of HIFU treatment are generally mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, and slight discomfort. Serious complications are rare when performed by a qualified healthcare provider.

HIFU is suitable for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity and specific cosmetic concerns such as wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. A consultation with a qualified provider can determine candidacy based on individual factors.

Yes, HIFU can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as injectables, laser therapy, or microneedling to enhance overall results, depending on the patient’s goals and needs.

While HIFU results are long-lasting, they are not permanent. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the effects of HIFU over time.

Original prices range from £350 to £750. We currently offer special pricing for HIFU treatments at our clinic: Face + Neck treatment for just £350 per session, Full face treatment for £250, and Neck treatment for £200. These competitive prices allow our clients to experience the benefits of HIFU treatment at an affordable rate without compromising on quality or results. 

The cost of HIFU treatment can vary significantly between clinics, with some charging as much as £2000 while others offer the same treatment for £200. This price discrepancy is primarily attributed to the speed at which the treatment is performed and the technology utilized.

In clinics where the cost is higher, the main factor driving up prices is often the use of cutting-edge technology that allows for quicker treatment sessions. These high-end machines come with a premium price tag due to their faster processing capabilities. However, it’s important to note that despite the higher cost, the results achieved with these machines are comparable to those achieved with more affordable options.

Conversely, clinics that offer HIFU treatment at a lower price point may use equipment that operates at a slower pace. While these machines may take longer to complete a session, they still deliver the same desired results in terms of skin tightening and rejuvenation.

At our clinic, BLC, we strike a balance by utilizing intermediate technology that ensures both effectiveness and efficiency. While our machines may not be the fastest on the market, they are carefully selected to deliver consistent and impressive results while keeping costs affordable for our clients. We prioritize patient satisfaction and safety above all else, ensuring that every HIFU treatment session is conducted with precision and care, regardless of the price.
