HIFU Face & Neck

Following your HIFU Face & Neck treatment, it is important to care for your skin correctly to support the natural collagen-building process, maximise your results and minimise the risk of irritation. It is normal to experience some temporary side effects following treatment, including: * Mild redness. * Slight swelling. * Tenderness or sensitivity to touch. * A feeling of tightness or tingling. * Mild bruising in some cases. These effects are usually mild and settle within a few hours to several days, although some tenderness may persist for up to 2 weeks. As HIFU stimulates your body's natural collagen production, results develop gradually over the following 3-6 months, with continued improvement for several months. To support healing: * Keep the treated area clean and avoid touching your face unnecessarily. * Apply a gentle moisturiser if recommended by your practitioner. * Stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water. * Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area. For the first 24–48 hours: * Avoid hot baths, hot showers, saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs. * Avoid vigorous exercise or activities that cause excessive sweating. * Avoid swimming pools and chlorinated water. * Avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours, or until advised by your practitioner. * Avoid heavily fragranced or potentially irritating skincare products. For the first 5–7 days: * Avoid retinol, retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acid, salicylic acid and exfoliating products on the treated area. * Avoid chemical peels, microneedling, laser treatments, IPL or other energy-based procedures on the face and neck until advised by your practitioner. * Continue using a gentle cleanser and a fragrance-free moisturiser. * Avoid rubbing or applying excessive pressure to the treated areas. Your skin will be more sensitive to UV exposure following HIFU Face & Neck treatment. * Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 every day. * Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours when outdoors. * Avoid direct sun exposure and sunbeds for at least 2 weeks after treatment. * Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses when spending time outdoors. Protecting your skin from UV exposure helps reduce the risk of pigmentation changes and supports optimal collagen production. HIFU Face & Neck stimulates your body's natural collagen production, with results continuing to improve over time. To maintain the best outcome: * Follow the personalised skincare advice provided by your practitioner. * Keep your skin well hydrated. * Use SPF 30–50 every day. * Maintain a consistent medical-grade skincare routine where appropriate. * Attend any recommended review appointments or maintenance treatments to help prolong your results. Please contact Body Perfection Clinic if you have any concerns about your recovery or experience: * Severe or worsening redness lasting longer than 72 hours. * Excessive swelling or increasing pain. * Blistering or burns. * Persistent numbness or tenderness that does not improve. * Any unexpected or concerning reaction following your treatment. If you think you have developed an infection (such as increasing redness, excessive heat, pus, discharge or fever), or you feel generally unwell, please seek immediate medical advice from your GP, NHS 111 or your nearest emergency department if your symptoms are severe. Your practitioner will be happy to advise you and arrange a review appointment if required.

To ensure your HIFU Face & Neck treatment is as safe and effective as possible, please follow the advice below before your appointment. * Avoid direct sun exposure, sunbeds and self-tanning products for at least 2 weeks before your treatment. Recently tanned or sunburnt skin may be more sensitive and at greater risk of irritation. * Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 every day before your treatment to help protect your skin from UV damage. * Discontinue the use of retinol, retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acid, salicylic acid and exfoliating products for 5–7 days before your appointment, unless advised otherwise by your practitioner. * Avoid chemical peels, microneedling, laser treatments, IPL or other energy-based procedures on the face and neck for at least 2 weeks before treatment. * Avoid facial waxing, threading, dermaplaning or hair removal creams on the treatment area for 5–7 days before your appointment. * Arrive with clean skin, free from makeup, moisturiser, sunscreen, oils and perfume on the treatment area. * Stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water before your treatment to support healthy skin function. * Inform your practitioner if you are taking or have recently taken Roaccutane (Isotretinoin), steroids, photosensitising medications or topical prescription skincare, as these may affect your suitability for treatment. * Please inform your practitioner of any changes to your medical history, pregnancy status, allergies, recent facial procedures or recent aesthetic treatments before your appointment. * If you have an active cold sore, skin infection, eczema flare-up, dermatitis, sunburn, open wound, acne flare or irritated skin within the treatment area, please contact the clinic as your treatment may need to be postponed. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and confirm your suitability for HIFU Face & Neck. A personalised treatment plan will then be created to help lift and tighten the skin, improve facial contours, define the jawline, soften fine lines and wrinkles, and stimulate natural collagen production for firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

We offer two consultation options: £25 Face-to-Face Consultation – Includes a comprehensive skin assessment, discussion of your concerns and a personalised HIFU Face & Neck treatment plan tailored to your skin, facial anatomy and desired results. FREE Telephone Consultation – Ideal if you'd like to learn more about HIFU Face & Neck, discuss your concerns and ask any initial questions before booking. If you decide to proceed with treatment, we'll recommend the most suitable consultation option based on your individual skin concerns, treatment goals and the results you would like to achieve.

A consultation is an essential part of your HIFU Face & Neck treatment and is required before your first appointment. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and determine whether HIFU Face & Neck is the most suitable treatment for you. We will review your: Skin type and condition. Medical history and current medications. Previous aesthetic or skin treatments. Current skincare routine and products. Treatment goals and expectations. Your practitioner will explain how HIFU Face & Neck works, discuss the expected results, outline any potential risks and answer any questions you may have. This ensures the treatment is safe, appropriate and tailored to your individual needs. During your consultation, your face and neck will be assessed and photographs may be taken (with your consent) to monitor your progress throughout your treatment journey. For your appointment, we recommend arriving with clean skin, free from makeup and skincare products where possible. This allows your practitioner to carry out a thorough skin assessment and prepare your skin for treatment. Every person's skin is unique, which is why we create a personalised treatment plan based on your individual concerns. Whether you're looking to lift sagging skin, improve skin firmness, define the jawline, reduce fine lines and wrinkles or achieve a more youthful appearance, your HIFU Face & Neck treatment will be tailored to help you achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results safely and effectively.

For your HIFU Face & Neck appointment, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing and arriving with clean skin free from makeup where possible. A loose-fitting top with a wide neckline or buttons is ideal to allow easy access to the face, jawline and neck while ensuring maximum comfort during treatment. Please avoid wearing high collars, scarves or jewellery around the neck that may interfere with treatment or cause irritation afterwards. Soft, breathable fabrics are recommended, as the treated area may feel slightly warm, tight or sensitive for a short time following your appointment. Avoid applying fake tan, heavy moisturisers, oils or perfumes to the treatment area before your appointment unless otherwise advised. Most clients are able to return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Your comfort and privacy are always our priority, and disposable headbands, towels and gowns are provided when required to help you relax and enjoy your treatment.

Most people simply notice that you look fresher, more rested and rejuvenated rather than being able to identify a specific treatment.

Unfortunately not! HIFU can help slow visible signs of ageing by stimulating collagen production, but the natural ageing process continues.

HIFU is designed to enhance your natural facial contours by tightening and lifting the skin. It won't make you look like a different person.

HIFU can improve skin firmness and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but no treatment can completely eliminate every wrinkle.

No. HIFU works gradually by encouraging your body to produce new collagen. The most noticeable improvements typically develop over the following 3–6 months.

HIFU can tighten, lift and rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production, but it cannot completely reverse the natural ageing process or replicate the results of surgery.

HIFU Face And Neck Treatment can target several areas including the forehead, cheeks, jawline, under the chin and neck. It is particularly effective for lifting sagging skin and improving definition around the lower face.

Many clients achieve noticeable results from a single HIFU Face And Neck Treatment. However, depending on skin condition and desired results, additional treatments may sometimes be recommended. Your practitioner will advise the most suitable treatment plan during your consultation.

HIFU Face And Neck Treatment is generally well tolerated. During the treatment you may feel a warm sensation or small pulses of energy as the ultrasound is delivered into the skin. Some areas may feel slightly more sensitive, but the treatment is usually comfortable for most clients.

The area may be sensitive for up to 6 weeks, the redness may last for up to a week.

You will see results straight after treatment however the results will improve over the next 3-6 months after treatment.

Treatment time can vary between 20-90 minutes depending on the size of the face or area of body.
