About the treatment

What is HIFU?

HIFU stands for high-intensity focused ultrasound. A handheld device sends focused ultrasound energy to set depths below your skin, while the surface itself stays untouched.

It is non-surgical, there are no needles, and most people carry on with their day straight after. We use it on the face, jawline and neck, and on body areas such as the tummy, arms and thighs.

Every treatment starts with an honest chat about your skin and your goals, so we can tell you whether HIFU is right for you.

Your treatment

How it works

What happens at your HIFU appointment.

  1. Consultation

    We look at your skin, ask about your health and agree the areas to treat.

  2. Treatment

    A cool gel goes on, then the handpiece delivers focused ultrasound in neat lines. Expect warm, prickly pulses: that is the ultrasound at work.

  3. Afterwards

    Expect a soft, healthy flush at first, then carry on with your day.

Preparation & aftercare

Prep & aftercare

Before your visit

  • Arrive with clean skin, with no make-up on the area if you can.
  • Tell us if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have metal implants or fillers in the area.
  • Let us know about any health conditions or medication.
  • Avoid tanning or sunburn on the area before your treatment.

After your visit

  • Expect a soft flush, and skin that feels a little tender at first. It soon settles.
  • Use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser, and wear SPF every day.
  • Skip saunas, very hot baths and hard exercise for 24 hours.
  • Message us if anything worries you. We are happy to help.
