What is 3D HIFU ?

3D HIFU uses High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), the latest safe and effective non-surgical technology for treating both face and body concerns. 3D HIFU face is the latest safe and effective non-surgical facelift treatment to both lift and tighten loose or sagging skin on the face and neck.

What does 3D HIFU do?

The HIFU face treatment works by sending highly focused acoustic energy below the skin’s surface to cause cellular friction within the molecules, resulting in precise, target-point heating. The friction between these molecules produces heat and thermal injury at a focal point within the skin tissue to create thermal coagulation zones at 3 selected depths (1.5mm, 3.0mm and 4.5mm), leaving the skin’s surface unaffected.

Delivering this focused energy to the dermal tissue causes immediate trauma to the treatment zone which then promotes heating, immediate contraction and collagen stimulation. The healing process works over approximately 180 days, stimulating long-term tissue repair leading to further lifting and tightening.

The SMAS layer (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) is also targeted during the treatment and is composed of collagen and elastin fibres, similar to those of the dermal tissue, and when treated, gives a long-lasting tightening effect.

What conditions is 3D HIFU used for?

3D HIFU Face can be used on both the face and neck as an alternative to surgery to lift and tighten the skin and help with skin rejuvenation. It is particularly effective to help brow and jowl line lifting.

Is 3D HIFU safe?

3D HIFU is safe and effective when used by appropriately trained practitioners. As a one off treatment, it is completely non-invasive and a safe alternative to surgery. Treatment is fast and effective with minimal discomfort and no downtime and provides long lasting results.

What is the process for receiving treatment?

The first step is to book your no obligation consultation. This will take place at a time convenient to you with Dr Shyna herself. At the consultation, Dr Shyna will undertake a comprehensive 30 minute assessment to identify your needs and to determine if the treatment is suitable for you and safe for you to receive. Following this assessment, Dr Shyna will give her recommendations as to what treatments may benefit you, including other treatments available. Prior to any treatments being carried out, the procedures and their risks and costs will be clearly explained. At this point, Dr Shyna recommends that you take a "cooling off" period of 48 hours to make sure you are happy to proceed. However, if, for your own convenience, you would prefer to proceed directly, the treatments can be carried out after the consultation, subject to your consent and appointment availability.. As part of the treatment process, before and after photographs will be taken following your consent. These photographs are strictly confidential, as are the rest of your records. After the treatment, you will given full post-procedure aftercare information.
