Understanding HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
What is HIFU?
HIFU is a non-invasive, non-surgical cosmetic procedure that is used to tighten and lift the skin on the face and neck, and reduce and remove fat from the body, arms and legs.
It is extremely popular because it doesn't include the use of any needles and is pain-free. It is highly effective at lifting and tightening the skin on the face and neck and is often referred to as the 'Non-surgical face lift'.
Due to the non-invasive nature of a HIFU treatment, there is no downtime, making it the preferred choice for those seeking skin rejuvenation and contouring, and fat reduction.
The Science Behind Pure Tone High Intensity Focused Ultrasound
The Pure Tone Ultra V Line HIFU's ability to tighten and lift skin, and reduce and remove fat is based on two key principles.
Thermal Coagulation
The controlled heating of the targeted tissues initiates the body's natural healing response. This includes the production of new collagen and elastin fibres, which tighten and firm the skin.
Fat Cell Disruption
The focused ultrasound energy disrupts the integrity of fat cell membranes, leading to the release of stored fat. This released fat is gradually metabolised and removed by the body's lymphatic system.

How does HIFU work?
How HIFU works
HIFU harnesses the power of focused ultrasound energy to target specific layers beneath the skin's surface. Here's a breakdown of the process:
Pure Tone HIFU Treatment
Before the HIFU treatment begins, the practitioner will cleanse the treatment area and may apply a numbing cream to ensure comfort during the procedure. The practitioner will clearly identify the areas to be treated, marking out the area and then covering it with a layer of ultrasound gel.
Ultrasound Energy
During the treatment, the Pure Tone Ultra V Line HIFU machine emits high-frequency ultrasound waves that penetrate deep into the skin, targeting the SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) layer and subcutaneous fat cells. HIFU technology is the only treatment to reach the SMAS layer making it more effective than RF (radio frequency) treatments.
Pure Tone precision ‘DOT’ technology
Because Pure Tone Ultra V Line HIFU incorporates 'DOT' technology the practioner can focus the ultrasound energy precisely at the desired treatment area. This energy creates controlled thermal coagulation points without affecting the surrounding tissue. Ultra V Line 'DOT' technology gives the practitioner more control, enabling them to specifically treat smaller areas such as around the eyes.

HIFU treatments
The Non-surgical facelift!
Focused ultrasound energy stimulates the production of collagen, a crucial protein for skin firmness and elasticity, promoting natural skin tightening. A Pure Tone HIFU treatment naturally lifts and tightens the skin and is often referred to as the 'non-surgical facelift'
Fat reduction
HIFU can also be used to reduce and remove fat in the body, arms and legs, by breaking down fatty deposits. The body's natural processes then metabolise and eliminate the fat over time.
Visible results after just one treatment
You will see visble results immediately after the first session and the results will continue to improve in the following weeks and months as the body reacts to the HIFU treatment and naturally produces more collagen. For optimum results and depending on the client's requirements and goals, two or three treatments may be required, about 4 weeks apart.
Post treatment Pure Tone Beauty Rock LED skin therapy session
For the perfect HIFU treatment, we recommend finishing with a Pure Tone Beauty Rock LED & FIR-RAY therapy session. Not only is LED light therapy the perfect way to relax and unwind at the end of a treatment session, but our LED & FIR RAY technology penetrates deep into the skin, aiding the healing process, further encouraging the production of collagen, ensuring you maximise the benefits of the HIFU treatment.
