3D Body HIFU

TECH EXPLAINED

3D-HIFU is the latest 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.

Areas that can be improved with this treatment:

Flanks

Abdomen

Hips

Thighs

Buttocks

HOW IT WORKS

The HIFU handpiece 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).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How many treatments are recommended?

A single treatment per area is recommended.

What results can I expect from this treatment?

Results can be seen from 2 – 4 months post treatment. The average reduction of the treatment area after just one single session is typically 2 – 4cm.

Can I combine 3D-HIFU body with other treatments?

3D-cryofreeze is a one off treatment, however it can be devised as a part of a course of treatments depending on your goals, your therapist will discuss this with you. It is great as a one off treatment for targeting stubborn areas, but can also be combined with other technologies on the machine to enhance results. For example if you have a pocket of stubborn fat but also loose skin on that area, it would be advised to combine 3D-cryofreeze with a course of radio frequency to both remove the fat and tighten/ tone the skin.

What will I experience during treatment?

A handpiece will be placed on the skin, this is the handpiece used to target focussed energy to the fat cells. The handpiece is placed on the area of treatment and held there for approximately 2 minutes, this will be repeated 3 times per treatment area. During treatment, you may feel the warmth of the handpiece, and it some cases it may get slightly hot and uncomfortable. You may also feel a slight vibration and tingling sensation, although this is completely normal.
