How Does Cool HIFU Actually Work?

Updated: May 12, 2022

HIFU means High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound.

It is an advanced cosmetic technology which can significantly tighten skin offering rejuvenation and added 'lift' to areas of the body and face areas. Results include anti-ageing effects almost instantly which continue to develop in the following months. The skin tone and 'plumping' can be seen after a single treatment with effects lasting 12 - 18 months before a 'top-up' is required.


The treatments begin with cleaning the chosen area (removing make up and creams) with a cleanser and preparing the area with a clear, water based gel layer. Depending on the condition of the skin, the therapist will choose a level of cartridge to deliver the ultrasound beams into the area. eg: A delicate area like the brow will not need to reach as far as a well padded thigh.

Each cartridge delivers 12 lines of invisible 'micro holes' into the face/body area it glides across in the gelled area, in a continuous movement. An area may receive 500 - 2000 shots depending on the issue being addressed. Your therapist will have advised you on this before the treatment begins


As a result of these micro-holes, collagen fibres are encouraged to repair and strengthen, giving the skin a smoother and tighter appearance.


This works to reduce signs of ageing such as wrinkles, crows feet and loose skin. Tightening and lifting the area for a more youthful appearance.


Cool HIFU targets the epidermis, the dermis up to the depth of 4.5mm on the face, and up to 13mm on other body areas, which is the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) layer. HIFUs ability to target and tighten the SMAS layer is one of the main reasons why it is such a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment.


This means the Cool HIFU can deliver similar results to that of surgical procedures, without undue risk or take time off work to recover. Results can be seen almost immediately and continue to improve over the following weeks.
