HIFU Body Contouring

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) body contouring is a non-surgical treatment that uses ultrasound energy to target and break down fat cells in specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms. The ultrasound energy penetrates deep layers of tissue, causing thermal damage to fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time. The treatment also promotes collagen production, resulting in firmer, smoother skin.

Ideal candidates for HIFU body contouring are individuals who are close to their ideal body weight but have stubborn fat pockets or mild skin laxity in areas like the abdomen, thighs, flanks, or arms. It’s not a weight-loss solution but is effective for body sculpting and toning. A consultation is recommended to assess suitability based on personal goals and body type.

Some clients may notice subtle changes within a few weeks, but full results typically develop over 2-3 months as the body gradually breaks down and eliminates the treated fat cells. The results can last several months to over a year, depending on individual factors such as lifestyle and exercise habits. Maintenance treatments may help extend the effects.

HIFU body contouring is generally well-tolerated, with clients describing a warm or tingling sensation as the ultrasound energy is applied. The treatment usually lasts 30-60 minutes per area, depending on the size of the area treated. Some clients may experience mild redness or tenderness afterward, but this typically resolves within a few hours.

HIFU body contouring, it’s advisable to keep the treated area hydrated and to avoid any strenuous exercise or heat treatments (such as saunas) for 24-48 hours. Drinking plenty of water can support the body’s natural elimination process, optimising the results. Sun protection and avoiding harsh skincare products on the treated area can also help maintain the outcome.
