HIFU Yarm Teesside.
RT Aesthetics offers advanced MED: HIFU Ultra treatments at our Newcastle clinic near Durham city centre.
HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, it is the latest non-surgical, non-invasive clinically proven technology, for lifting and tightening the face, neck, décolletage and other areas of the body. It works by naturally stimulating the production of new collagen for a natural, textured and younger-looking appearance.*
HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to target the layers of skin just below the surface. The ultrasound energy causes the tissue to heat up rapidly. Once the cells in the targeted area reach a certain temperature, they experience cellular damage. This stimulates the cells to produce more collagen. The increase in collagen results in tighter, firmer skin with fewer wrinkles. Since the high-frequency ultrasound beams are focused on a specific tissue site below the skin’s surface, there’s no damage to the upper layers of the skin and adjacent issue.
MED: HIFU Ultra results are 92% more effective with an increase rate of 97% client satisfaction and all have their own serial number for safety. The new MF2 cartridge allows our aestheticians to treat difficult to reach areas, such as around the eyes which cannot be treated effectively with generic HIFU.
MED: HIFU Ultra are only used by approved medical clinics like ours – so you know you’ve got the best care with RT Aesthetics.

Non Surgical Facelift Yarm
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) treatment also known as Ultherapy® has become one of the most sought-after lifting treatments for face, neck & body, without going under the knife. HIFU is able to reach deep layers of the skin tissues that other anti-ageing treatments cannot affect. This makes HIFU treatment a very popular alternative to surgery or more invasive treatments such as thread lifts or injectable toxins and fillers. HIFU treatment can lift and tighten the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) layer of the skin. The SMAS layer is same layer targeted during conventional surgery.
Ultrasound Energy
MED: HIFU Ultra uses ultrasound energy to tighten and lift the skin. Ultrasound energy has a proven track record in the field of medicine for over 50 years and achieves a staggering 20 – 25% instant result on average, with optimum results seen at around 3 months post-procedure. Many clients see results from just on treatment, although some clients may require two treatments dependent on varying factors. Top up treatments are recommended every 12 – 18 months to keep long-lasting results.
HIFU is considered a safe, effective, and non-invasive procedure for tightening the facial skin. Its advantages over a surgical face lift are hard to deny. There are no incisions, no scarring, and no required rest or recovery time. HIFU is also far less expensive than a surgical facelift procedure.

What You Need To Know.
Depending on the amount of areas your having treatment, it takes around 1 – 2 hours from start to finish. Your Aesthetic Practitioner will be with you throughout your treatment.
Although risks are rare, some clients report mild redness, bruising and slight swelling after treatment. These are mild and can last up to 48 hours post treatment, however most clients do not suffer any post-treatment sensitivities.
Long term results which start to show within 2 – 3 months post-treatment, although some clients report instant noticeable differences on the same day. Results can last between 2 and 5 years.
Most clients will only need this treatment once. For long term and maintained results, top up treatments can be performed every 12 – 18 months.
Our Care.
Prior to your MED: HIFU Ultra treatment there are a number of steps you can take to ensure the best possible results following your treatment. This includes the following:
- Increase water intake (aim for 2 – 3 litres)
- Avoid botox/filler 4 weeks prior to treatment (2 weeks for HydraFacial Treatment)
- Avoid any facial peels, exfoliation or microdermabrasion 2 weeks before treatment
- It’s recommended that male clients come to their appointment clean shaven
- We cannot provide the treatment if you have previously had threads within the last year unless it has been discussed with the Aesthetic Practitioner prior to treatment
- Avoid alcohol consumption for minimal of 48 hours prior to your appointment
- Avoid IPL / laser treatments in the area that you wish to have treated 2 weeks prior to your appointment
- Avoid sun-beds or direct UV exposure for a minimal of 1 week prior to your appointment
- If you have any open sores, infection or skin sensitivity in the area we cannot treat unless discussed with the Aesthetic Practitioner prior to treatment
- If you have a history of cold sores, consider beginning prophylactic treatment no later than the day of treatment
- We would recommend that you take some painkillers before your appointment as this can help reduce any pain from the treatment. Paracetamol is the one we would recommend, and we would advise to take this 1 hour before your HIFU appointment.
In order to achieve optimum results from your MED: HIFU Ultra treatment, we strongly recommend the following:
- Avoid alcohol consumption for minimal of 48 hours
- Avoid hot water, heat treatments (saunas, steam rooms, etc) or extreme cold for 24 hours
- Drink 2 – 3 litres of water daily, keep a large bottle with you at all times and infuse with lemons and limes for flavour, this will help hydrate the skin and help to flush out toxins
- Avoid sun-beds or direct UV exposure for a minimum of 1 week and apply SPF daily to protect the skin
- RT Aesthetics have a range of different skincare to help after your treatment, the skincare should be used after your treatment daily and the directions on how to use each product can be found on the bottle/packaging
- Skin may feel dry after treatment, therefore you should apply a replenishing/hydrating mask three times a week or apply hyaluronic acid
- Do not take aspirin or other anticoagulant medications as this can hinder the healing process
- Normal cleansing regimes can be resumed after 24 hours, although avoid using scented or fragranced products around the treatment area unless you are using the skincare given to you at the clinic
- Allow 2 weeks before continuing any laser/IPL treatments in the area that you had treated
