Body HIFU
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound
WHAT IS BODY HIFU
HIFU is A non surgical technology used to target specific focused areas of fat in the fastest possible treatment time. This technology works by delivering focused energy at a depth of 1.3cm and 8mm to destroy fat cells. The high frequency of the ultrasound wave results in heating under the skin, effectively destroying the fat cells and tightening the skin in the area treated. The damaged cells are flushed away via a natural removal process through the lymphatic system that continues for up to 3 months.
How It Works?
The HIFU hand piece delivers focussed ultrasound waves to a precise depth to cause necrosis of the fat cell. The controlled movement of the handpiece results in a grid of treated fat cells. The high frequency of the ultrasound wave, results in rapid heating of the focal zone at 1.3cm and 8mm under the skin leaving the skins surface unaffected. However this energy increases in temperature as it gets deeper within the skin due to the energy of the HIFU causing cellular friction. Exposing the fat cell to this high temperature causes rapid cell death (necrosis).
SEVEN REASONS WHY TO CHOOSE BODY HIFU
Body HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is an excellent option for getting rid of stubborn pockets of fat for several reasons:
1. Targeted Fat Destruction
HIFU delivers ultrasound energy directly to specific areas where fat tends to accumulate and resist traditional weight loss methods like diet and exercise. This allows it to precisely target localised fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, thighs and arms.
2. Non-Invasive, No Surgery
Unlike liposuction or other surgical fat removal procedures, HIFU is completely non-invasive. There are no incisions, needles, or anesthesia involved, which reduces the risk of complications and makes it a much safer option for people looking to reduce fat without surgery.
3. Permanent Fat Cell Reduction
The ultrasound energy penetrates the skin and heats the fat cells underneath, causing them to break down. These fat cells are then processed and naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system, meaning the fat is permanently gone from the treated area.
4. No Downtime
HIFU requires little to no recovery time, so you can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment. This is a big advantage over more invasive procedures like liposuction, which can require weeks of recovery.
5. Skin Tightening Benefit
In addition to breaking down fat cells, HIFU also stimulates collagen production, which helps to tighten the skin. This is particularly useful because it can prevent the loose or sagging skin that sometimes occurs after fat reduction.
6. Gradual, Natural-Looking Results
Results from HIFU appear gradually as the body processes and removes the treated fat cells. This means your body contours improve over time, creating a more natural-looking transformation compared to the drastic changes that sometimes result from surgical procedures.
7. Ideal for Stubborn Fat
HIFU is especially effective for pockets of fat that don’t respond to exercise or diet, such as love handles, belly fat, or fat around the thighs. For people who are close to their ideal weight but want to target specific areas of fat, HIFU offers a solution that’s precise and focused.
