Your face will be cleansed before the ultrasound gel is applied and we will adjust HIFU settings according to the area and your skin and begins treatment. One session of HIFU will deliver visible effects in lifting and tightening. It will also enhance the production of new collagen which will help your skin maintain its youthful glow. As this procedure uses high intensity acoustic energy that produces heat for skin lifting. The healing process is completely natural and tighten the lose skin on the neck, face, under the chin, stomach, & stretch marks. It penetrates deeper depths at high temperatures and treats the foundation layers of the skin, these are the layers where the skin starts to weaken and become loose. Cellular friction and coherent heating are the main principles behind this therapy.

During the treatment you will feel warm to hot pulses of ultrasound energy deep in your skin. This causes skin layers to contract. Patients describe this as slightly uncomfortable or mildly stinging.

While the new HIFU machine is more comfortable than its first generation machines, the level of discomfort depends on your personal pain tolerance and the area being treated. CLC will always try to make every treatment as comfortable as possible, and can recommend a painkiller or provide anaesthesia if needed.

Immediately after the treatment, your skin will look tighter and firmer. However ideal results come 60 to 100 days after treatment when the collagen regeneration becomes noticeablewhereby the skin will look fresher & rejuvenated.

One to two treatments per year, depending on your age and the severity of skin sagging. The second treatment is usually scheduled 3 to 6 months later. Results usually last about a year or two and you may decide to have a further treatment when the results start to wear off. Over a period of 3 to 6 months, this process stimulates tissue healing, lifting and tightening.
