What is HIFU treatment?

HIFU therapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical alternative to a face-lift. It tightens and rejuvenates your skin to reduce any premature signs of ageing. It can be used on the face, neck or anywhere else on the body, and gives visible results after just one .

The results can last up to three years, making it incredibly long lasting and removing the need for top-ups or repeat treatments. 

It’s an ideal way to quickly and safely lift, sculpt and tighten loose skin with no pain and no downtime.

How HIFU skin tightening works

This is a fast taking between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the area(s) to be treated.

We begin with a to understand your desired results. 

On the day of the appointment, the doctor will prepare your skin by the skin to remove any residue like excess makeup or oils, and marking the chosen area.

Once the skin has been cleansed and marked, the doctor will apply 1-2mm of a specialised HIFU gel to the area of your skin to be treated.

Your doctor will use a handheld HIFU device, moving it gently over the area of your body to be treated. High energy ultrasound energy waves are delivered in short bursts, directly to your skin. 

You may feel some mild tingling or gentle warmth during the treatment. There are no incisions and needles are not used, so nothing pierces or damages the skin with this non-invasive .

The device has different heads to target the different layers of skin, from the superficial layers under the epidermis right down to the subcutaneous (OnabotulinumtoxinAAbobotulinumtoxinAIncobotulinumtoxinAPrabotulinumtoxinALetibotulinumtoxinARimabotulinumtoxinBHyaluronic Acid FillersCalcium Hydroxylapatite FillersPoly-L-lactic Acid FillersPolymethylmethacrylate FillersAutologous Fat GraftingForehead Lines Frown Lines TreatmentCrow's Feet TreatmentBunny Lines TreatmentChemical Brow LiftLip FlipGummy Smile CorrectionMasseter ReductionJaw SlimmingDimpled Chin SmoothingCobblestone Chin SmoothingNefertiti Neck LiftMicro-BotoxMesotoxHyperhidrosis TreatmentChronic Migraine ReliefBruxism TreatmentTMJ TreatmentCervical Dystonia TreatmentNeck Spasm TreatmentBlepharospasm AugmentationLip ContouringCheekbone EnhancementTear Trough FillersNasolabial Fold SofteningMarionette Line FillersLiquid RhinoplastyNon-Surgical Nose JobJawline ContouringJawline DefinitionChin AugmentationTemple VolumisingHand RejuvenationAcne Scar Subcision Filling (https://yakkastrength.co.uk/)) layers, to fully eliminate all signs of ageing.

HIFU reviews

Calf augmentation

Before trying HIFU at Hannah London, I felt frustrated with the sagging skin around my jawline and cheeks. I wanted a non-surgical solution that would give me a lift without downtime. After just one session, I noticed my skin felt tighter and looked more . Over the next few weeks, the results kept improving, and now my jawline is noticeably sharper, and my cheeks look lifted. The team at Hannah London was so professional and reassuring throughout. I couldn’t be happier with how youthful and refreshed I look!

Before my HIFU treatment at Hannah London, I was starting to see sagging around my neck and jowls, which made me look older than I felt. I didn’t want invasive treatments, so I opted for HIFU. The results have been incredible! After a few weeks, my skin looked tighter, firmer, and more lifted. My jawline is now beautifully defined, and the sagging has significantly reduced. The team was so knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I’ve had so many compliments — I finally feel like myself again!

Before starting HIFU at Hannah London, I struggled with loose skin on my face and neck that no skincare product could fix. I heard about HIFU and decided to try it here. The results have been amazing — my face feels tighter, and my neck looks and lifted. I started noticing changes after just a few weeks, and the improvements have continued to get better. The procedure was quick, with minimal discomfort, and the team was so professional and attentive. I highly recommend HIFU at Hannah London to anyone looking for natural, non-surgical lifting results!

The science behind

HIFU therapy

As we approach our late twenties we being to lose collagen, which is responsible for regenerating our skin, keeping it plump and firm. Loss of collagen is a key factor in the appearance of ageing.

HIFU therapy works by sending ultrasound energy into specific layers of skin that need to be targeted. The skin tissue is heated to around 65 degrees centigrade, which disrupts the existing skin tissue and kick-starts the healing process of collagen creation. 

The treatment has both a short-term effect, meaning you see an improvement after only one session, and a long-term effect, which leads to continuing results even after treatment is finished. 

The short-term effect is a result of contraction, the ultrasound breaks down the collagen in the skin, causing it to contract and tighten under the surface of the skin. The longer-term effect is the healing process, which stimulates greater collagen production over a period of 90 to 180 days after the treatment.

no incisions are made and the skin is not pierced, only the very areas to be treated are affected and there is no bruising or swelling.

The results to get better over time for up to six months as the collagen production gets to work.

This makes HIFU an incredibly long-lasting treatment (up to three years) that does not require regular top-ups or repeat treatments.

The HIFU therapy is unique and its ability to improve the results over time may vary, particularly around the 6-month period.

This is due to the internal inflammatory response (do not worry this will not cause visible swelling), which occurs due to the cellular damage which is needed to induce collagen formation.

As more time passes the body’s collagen production will continue to increase, which why results are and can continue to improve even after the last procedure.

There is no after HIFU therapy, as it is non-surgical. Therefore, the recovery period is significantly shorter than many other treatments which achieve similar results.

Your doctor will discuss this further with you.
