Your skin will be cleaned and a series of clinical pictures will be taken before any therapy begins. The treatment region will be marked, and the skin will be treated with ultrasonic gel. You can get mild pinpricks of heat in your skin when the therapy begins, but nothing too severe. Although most patients find the treatment to be entirely painless, some people have different tolerances, therefore if you have extremely sensitive skin, you can take a paracetamol half an hour before.

Ulfit HIFU treatments take between 30 - 90 minutes depending on which or how many areas are being treated.

The locations you are having treated will determine the cost. We provide packages at a discount for multiple areas. During your appointment, your therapist will talk with you about your areas of concern and provide you a personalized quote. Pricing can also be viewed on our Pricing section..

As every person has their own specific needs and results, your therapist will discuss the number of treatments required after initial consultation.

For moderate to severe skin laxity we may recommend a treatment once a month for 3 months with a top up treatment annually after that. 
Your therapist will advise the most appropriate treatment for your skin type.

Anyone who has concerns about areas of subcutaneous fat, fine lines and wrinkles, or laxity of the skin. For those who are ill-suited or unwilling to have cosmetic surgery, Ulfit HIFU is the ideal option.

• Anyone with open wounds on the treatment area.

• Anyone with metal stents or facial implants. Dental implants are fine.

• Anyone with severe or cystic acne.

• Anyone using Roaccutane as this makes the skin very sensitive.

• Anyone with metal facial threads.

• It is recommended that clients leave a 4-6 week gap between having had Botox or dermal fillers and having an Ulfit HIFU treatment. If you wish to continue using injectables we recommend having your Ulfit HIFU treatment first, as injectables can be used straight after an Ulfit HIFU treatment.

• If you are taking prescribed Retinol products, please stop taking them at least 5 days prior to your Ulfit HIFU treatment as they can make the skin sensitive.

• Ensure your skin is well hydrated by drinking 1-2 litres of water a day for a week before and after your treatment.

• Don’t take anti-flammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen or Voltaren for 24 hours before your treatment unless they are specifically prescribed.

• Keep your skin well protected from sunlight for at least 48 hours before your treatment - we can’t treat sunburnt skin.

• For best results, we recommend men are clean shaven on the day for treatment.

• It’s preferable to come with clean, makeup-free skin but we can remove any makeup prior to your treatment. You can reapply makeup straight after your treatment if necessary.

As rare as they are, adverse effects do happen. Most of the time, they are short-lasting and minor.
The Ulfit HIFU treatment may cause redness on your skin for a few hours.
Some minor swelling, tingling, or soreness could be felt for a few days following the procedure. Rarely, welts, numbness, or temporary bruises may occur in some patients.
