HIFU FOR FACE & NECK COURSE
HIFU for the Face and Neck course – High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for Non-Surgical Face Lift and Skin Tightening is the newest course in the aesthetic field.
- This course qualifies you for CPD points and insurance cover.
- We cover core knowledge behind the treatment followed by extensive practical training to ensure that all our graduates are fully competent and can safely and effectively carry out HIFU treatments on the Face and Neck.
- We will provide an Academy Diploma.
HIFU FOR FACE & NECK TREATMENT
HIFU for the Face and Neck is one of the most popular treatments as results can last from 1 to 2 years, leading High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to be known as the “non-surgical alternative to the face-lift”.
Energy is delivered deep beneath the skin at appropriate temperatures, at three separate chosen levels (4.5mm, 3.0mm and 1.5mm). This heat causes the formation of a series of thermal coagulation points at approximately 1mm cubed. Temperatures between 60 – 70 degrees centigrade lead to collagen denaturation, leading collagen to quickly go about repairing itself. Collagen re-modelling, as well as visible changes, can be seen immediately after the treatment but the full benefits are expected to be seen three months after the treatment.
Age and gravity effects on our skin are offset by non-invasive HIFU treatment using the body’s own recuperative powers to lift the skin of the face, neck, under the chin, and décolleté, lift eyebrows and smooth wrinkles and lines. It is safe and effective. HIFU treats tissue otherwise only reached by surgery. HIFU can go beneath the surface of the skin without breaking the outer skin and reach into the dermis and SMAS layer. It is suitable for men as well as women.
HIFU for Face and Neck Treatment benefits
- Often one single treatment can lead to great improvements that will continue to develop as the body continues to produce new collagen.
- The precise delivery of energy ensures safety and accuracy, avoiding damage to the skin, surrounding tissue and internal organs.
- Use of HIFU for skin lift and skin tightening does not produce any acute, long-term adverse effects.
- This treatment delivers a high level of client satisfaction.
