Introducing HIFU // Our newest treatment
The latest treatment to arrive at The Bothy is HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound), using cutting edge technology that is revolutionising non invasive medical aesthetic treatments! In this blog we'll delve into how it works, the benefits and why it's become a popular choice for those seeking skin tightening and rejuvenation.
What is HIFU?
HIFU is a non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound energy to target specific layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. Unlike traditional facelifts or surgeries, HIFU does not require any incisions or downtime, making it a convenient option for those looking to improve their skin's appearance without undergoing invasive procedures.
How Does HIFU work?
During a HIFU treatment, focused ultrasound energy is delivered to the deep layers of the skin, causing thermal coagulation points. These points stimulate the body's natural healing process, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. This results in firmer, tighter skin and a more youthful appearance.
Does HIFU hurt?
The level of discomfort experienced during a HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) treatment can vary from person to person. Some individuals may experience mild discomfort or a tingling sensation during the procedure, while others may find it more uncomfortable. However, most people report that the sensation is tolerable and temporary. The ultrasound energy used in HIFU penetrates deep into the skin without causing damage to the surface layers, resulting in minimal discomfort.
How many treatments do I need?
Treatments needed can vary depending on several factors, including the individual's skin condition, age, treatment goals, and the specific area being targeted. In general, most patients typically undergo a series of 1 to 3 HIFU treatments to achieve optimal results. For mild to moderate skin laxity or signs of aging, a single HIFU treatment may be sufficient to see noticeable improvement in skin tightening and rejuvenation. However, for more significant concerns or advanced aging, multiple treatments may be recommended to achieve the desired results, however most clients see outstanding results with jus one treatment.
Keep in mind that the results of HIFU treatments are gradual and continue to improve over time as the body's natural collagen production is stimulated. Maintenance treatments may also be recommended to prolong the results and maintain the firmness and tightness of the skin.
How long does the results last?
The duration of results from a HIFU treatment can vary from person to person based on individual factors such as skin condition, age, lifestyle, and the specific treatment area. In general, the results of a HIFU treatment can last anywhere from 1 to 2 years.
After a HIFU treatment, the body's natural collagen production is stimulated, leading to gradual skin tightening and lifting over time. The full effects of the treatment may take several months to become fully visible as collagen production continues. Some people may choose to have maintenance treatments done periodically to prolong the results.
It's important to follow a good skincare routine, protect your skin from sun damage, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to help extend the longevity of the results from a HIFU treatment. We can provide a personalised skin care plan to get the most from your HIFU treatment.
