MED: HIFU Ultra+ Body

HIFU Ultra+ Body treatments are the latest in non-invasive technology to target specific focused areas of fat and loose skin in the quickest way possible.

MED: HIFU Body is very effective for tightening the skin and offering a small amount of fat reduction. HIFU Body is the latest technology to target fat and tighten the skin. It works by firing focused ultrasound energy into the skin that destroys fat cells and tightens the skin at the SMAS layer. This is the muscle layer of the skin and the same layer targeted during surgery. The heat caused by the treatment effectively destroys the fat cells and tightens the surface of the skin.

How Does Body HIFU Work?

HIFU Body is the latest technology to target a fat and tighten the skin. It works by firing focused ultrasound energy into the skin that destroys fat cells and tightens the skin at the SMAS layer. This is the muscle layer of the skin and the same layer targeted during surgery. The heat caused by the treatment effectively destroys the fat cells and tightens the surface of the skin.

By ablating subcutaneous adipose tissue and causing molecular vibrations that increase the temperature of local tissue and induce rapid cell necrosis. Several studies reveal the safety and efficacy of HIFU for fat reduction in the abdomen and the flanks. These studies indicate a consistent reduction in abdominal circumference > 2 cm after a single treatment.

HIFU Body Contouring Treatment

HIFU Ultra+ Body is recommended for clients who have loose skin and a smaller pocket of fat that cannot be treated with MED: Cryolipolysis. This is because Cryolipolysis is more effective for larger areas of fat as these treatments are clinically proven to work more effectively in these body shapes. The treatment is used more for skin tightening and therefore clients who have loose skin will see better results.

HIFU is ideal for body contouring post-pregnancy tummy, abdomen fat, bingo wings, thighs and under the buttocks; for a non-surgical bum-lifting effect. It can even tighten the skin on the knees and arms, helping to improve the ‘crepey’ look. HIFU is a very effective treatment for both inch loss and fat loss, while at the same time tightening the skin.

What results can be expected from Body HIFU?

Clients who come to our clinic in Newcastle for Body HIFU have seen fat loss of up to 6cm in just one treatment. Skin tightening treatments are our most common results following on from this treatment and we have loads of before and after photos. You can find these photos on our social media pages and our reviews are online, we have over 500 reviews at 5 stars.

  • Increase water intake (aim for 2 - 3 litres per day)
  • Avoid botox/filler 4 weeks prior to treatment
  • Avoid any 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 it unless discussed with the aesthetic practitioner prior to treatment
  • Discontinue use of Tretinoin type products (Renova, Tretinoin, Retin A, Retin A Micro, Tri-Luma, Solage, etc.) at least 2 days before 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 - we recommend Paracetamol and we would advise you to take this 1 hour before your HIFU appointment

In order to achieve optimum results from your MED: HIFU Ultra+ Body 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 has 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 daily
  • 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

FAQs.

Read our frequently asked questions regarding MED: HIFU Ultra+ Body

  • How does HIFU treatment work?

    MED: HIFU Ultra+ (high intensity focused ultrasound) energy is beamed below the skin in 3 different layers. HIFU effects three layers of the superficial and dermis along with SMAS, which is the same layer of tissue that surgeons pull tight in a face lift. As a thermal energy safely heats this tissue, the skin contracts resulting in tightening of the skin and formation of new collagen, which provides a longer-term tightening effect.

  • What areas can be treated?

    Areas that can be treated are: abdomen, hips, buttocks, inner thighs, outer thighs, inner arms

  • What to expect after the HIFU treatment?

    Clients may develop redness, swelling or tingling of the skin following from the HIFU body treatment. These symptoms are not permanent and will usually fade within hours after treatment. RT Aesthetics can provide a cream prior to you leaving the clinic - this helps settle the skin and is available for you to buy to take home. During this time the effects of the MED: HIFU Ultra+ Body treatment will signal the production of new collagen and the process of regeneration. MED: HIFU Ultra+ Body skin tightening treatment is clinically proven to be safe and effective, with natural and gradual rejuvenation effects.

  • How many HIFU treatments are needed?

    Many clients only need one treatment of MED: HIFU Ultra+ Body. However, based on the degree of skin laxity, the biological response to ultrasound energy and the clients collagen-building process, some clients benefit from additional treatment after 8 – 12 weeks. Results from HIFU treatment can be seen within 12 weeks, with further results being reported for up to 6 months after the initial procedure. Clients who have undergone HIFU treatment can benefit from long lasting results in excess of 2 – 3 years*. Although, as the skin continues to age, future touch-up treatments may be taken by the client yearly. This can help clients keep pace with the body’s natural ageing process.

  • Is HIFU like a facelift?

    MED: HIFU Ultra+ procedures treat the deep foundational layer that is addressed during cosmetic surgery, but will not duplicate results of a facelift. MED: HIFU Ultra is a great alternative to having surgery and is one the last procedures you can have before looking to have surgery to treat a problem area. However, many clients do not want to have surgery, or for those clients that want to extend the effects of pre/post cosmetic surgery, then HIFU treatment may be an option for you.

  • Is HIFU treatment Safe?

    Certificated by the FDA and CE cleared for eyebrow lifting this high-intensity focused ultrasosund (HIFU) device also achieve excellent aesthetic outcomes in jowl lifting, nasolabial fold reduction, periobital wrinkle reduction and overall skin tightening and rejuvenation in targeted areas. Ultra therapy has been used safely in over 1,00,000 treatments worldwide.

  • When will I see results from HIFU?

    After the MED: HIFU Ultra+ Body treatment, many clients see some initial results, such as toning and skin tightening around the targeted area after the treatment. However, the results take place over 3 – 6 months, as your body naturally starts the production of collagen and regenerates the skin tissue. As the production of new collagen begins, how long the results last really depends on the clients’ own natural ageing process. The MED: HIFU Ultra treatment produces new collagen on the inside, but the natural ageing process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the inside. Results can list for up to 2 – 3 years, however, clients that look after their skin can look forward to long-lasting effects from just one treatment.

  • What does HIFU feel like?

    The HIFU treatment is not a painful procedure. As the high-intensity focused ultrasound energy is delivered, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths within the skin. This is an indication that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Most clients describe feeling either pin pricks sensation or a feeling of heat. Comfort levels vary from client to client, however, this sensation is only temporary and last while the ultrasound energy is administered. Some clients take paracetamol before the procedure to ease any discomfort, although this is not necessary.

  • Do men have HIFU treatment?

    The MED: HIFU Ultra+ treatment is great for both men and women. We see many men at our clinic who opt to have the HIFU treatment to help lift jowls, tighten skin and help turn back the years. MED: HIFU Ultra+ Body treatment requires no recovery time, allowing people to immediately return to their daily activities.

  • HIFU treatment side effects?

    After the MED: HIFU Ultra+ Body treatment the skin may appear ‘flushed’ at first, but the redness should disappear within a few hours post-treatment. Some clients experience light swelling, tingling or tenderness to the touch, however, these are temporary and will fade within 7 – 10 days post-treatment. Less common side effects may include temporary bruising or numbness on small areas of skin. As with any medical or cosmetic procedure, there are the possibility for rarer side effects, which your aesthetic practitioner will review with you during your face-to-face consultation.

  • How painful is HIFU?

    The MED: HIFU Ultra+ Body treatment is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure with no downtime, allowing clients to resume daily activities immediately after treatment. The MED: HIFU Ultra+ discomfort levels vary from client to client, while most clients tolerating the procedure well. However, clients who have a lower pain threshold can take paracetamol to help ease any discomfort. Any pain or discomfort associated with the MED: HIFU Ultra+ Body treatment are only temporary and will only last during the procedure.
