HIFU

HIFU stands for high-intensity focused ultrasound and is used as a one-off (well every 1-2 years) treatment to firm and lift the skin on face, neck and body. It uses ultrasound energy to encourage and stimulate natural collagen production, which results in firmer skin and will provide noticeable effects through an ‘ultrasonic facelift’, without making any cuts to the skin. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a relatively new cosmetic treatment for skin tightening that some consider a non-invasive and painless replacement for surgery. Clients who wish to undergo a HIFU treatment must not have a history of cold sore. Cold sores will impair the treatment process. The HIFU treatment cannot also be carried out if they have a fever. In such cases, the treatment can only be done after recovery from either the cold sore or the fever.
