An advanced cosmetic, non-surgical treatment that produces thermal energy in various layers of the skin to reduce wrinkles, improve skin tone, and tighten the skin. HIFU leverages the body's regenerative abilities, with results gradually appearing over 3 to 6 months, though many clients notice improvements within weeks. The treatment targets deeper layers of the skin, leaving the surface unaffected, although in some cases hives and irritations are common.

Focused ultrasound energy target the layers of skin just below the surface. This causes the tissue to heat up, stimulating the cells to produce more collagen — a protein that provides structure to the skin.

Benefits include: wrinkle reduction; tightening sagging skin on the neck; lifting the cheeks, eyebrows and eyelids; jawline definition; tightening of the décolletage; smoothing the skin.

HIFU is not only used to create great results on the face. It can also be used for body sculpting in areas you may have particular problems with such as the stubborn fat around our hips (affectionately known as our love handles) or even the upper under arms areas (those pesky bingo wings!). 

Suitable for both men and women (results vary dependent on existing skin elasticity). The increase in collagen results in tighter, firmer skin with fewer wrinkles. High-frequency ultrasound beams are focused on a specific tissue site so there’s no damage to upper layers of skin or adjacent issue.

Some clients will experience warming or even some slight tingling in the area being that is being treated on the day and beyond for around 2 weeks.  At Ophelia King, I take all precautions to ensure that your the discomfort is minimal, by moving on to another area if the feeling gets too intense for you.
