What is HIFU?

HIFU stands for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound
ULTRAcel Q+ reaches deep skin tissues for a naturally wound healing response to lift and tighten, this is a great option for clients who do not wish to have injectables or surgery and absolutely no downtime and being a tolerable treatment, it has fast become the go-to treatment for a natural lift.

Ultrasound therapy (HIFU) shoots ultrasound waves into the skin, where they act by heating targeted tissue.  By heating this area of skin up to 65 degrees, this results in a tightening of the SMAS and stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. The SMAS layer is the same muscle in which surgeons tighten during a surgical facelift. While there is a noticeable instant tightening, once the body starts producing collagen, the skin tightens and firms significantly.

ULTRAcel Q+ which is produced by Cynosure (the same leaders as our Picosure laser) and is the only technology in the world to use a linear cartridge, offering double the results in a much quicker time and a much more comfortable treatment and with exceptional results.

Additionally, ULTRAcelQ+ offers many cartridge depths to treat each client individually and tailor their results.  Cartridge depths we use: 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm and 4.5mm, 6mm, 9mm, 11mm, 13mm

A consultation is always recommended before treatment to discuss main area of concern and target a treatment that will suit your desired outcome.
