The ULTRAcel Q+ system is a state-of-the-art HIFU device and is much more comfortable than the original systems. The procedure is not painful, however you may experience slight discomfort in certain areas that are more sensitive than others such as along the jaw line. However, any pain is non-residual, meaning it lasts only a fraction of a second. During the treatment the machine’s power level can be adapted to improve the client’s comfort, meaning we can turn down the machine until there is no discomfort. Any swelling or tingling will be temporary.
Our experienced practitioners will use a handheld device to deliver focused ultrasound energy at precise depths below the surface of the skin.
People aged between 35 to 75 years, who have mild to moderate skin laxity who want to fight the signs of ageing are ideal candidates. HIFU can also help prolong the results of a surgical facelift.
The ULTRAcel Q+ system is very effective for skin-lifting and improving sagging skin. By targeting specific layers of fat it is also very effective at reducing fat on the abdomen and trunk, upper arms, thighs and buttocks.
The ULTRAcel Q+ delivers ultrasound energy at temperatures between 65C and 70C to specific layers of the skin including the SMAS, deep dermis and epidermis. As the sound waves pass through the skin’s surface they heat the dermal and sub-dermal tissue causing a low-level injury. This triggers a healing process that stimulates the production of collagen fibres leading to the long-term improvement of the skin structure. On the surface the skin looks tightened, lifted and more youthful.
