BRIGHTON’S HIFU TREATMENT EXPERTS

This innovative treatment targets deep layers of skin and fat using concentrated ultrasound energy, providing a unique solution for lifting, tightening, and toning areas such as the stomach, thighs, or arms.

The Sculpt Pro Ultra 4D Platinum penetrates the skin and subcutaneous fat more deeply than conventional methods, stimulating full collagen regeneration and remodelling. This results in a noticeable improvement in texture and appearance from one session. It is ideal for anyone wanting firmer, rejuvenated skin without surgery or downtime.

In essence, HIFU is all about revealing firmer, smoother skin with improved tone and elasticity — all from within.

WHAT IS HIFU AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. This non-invasive aesthetic procedure uses focused ultrasound energy to penetrate the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis or subcutaneous tissue. The energy stimulates collagen production and remodelling, supporting tissue regeneration, tightening and rejuvenation.

01 / ULTRASOUND ENERGY DELIVERY

HIFU devices emit high-frequency ultrasound waves focused precisely at depths such as 6 mm, 9 mm and 13 mm, bypassing the skin surface. Energy converges at a focal point in the deeper layers, much like sunlight focused by a magnifying glass.

02 / THERMAL COAGULATION ZONES

At the focal point, ultrasound energy generates heat of around 60–70°C in small, controlled areas. These thermal coagulation zones create micro-injuries without harming the skin surface, stimulating the body’s healing response.

03 / COLLAGEN REGENERATION

The thermal effect triggers immediate contraction of existing collagen fibres and gradual regeneration of new, stronger collagen over 4–12 weeks. This creates a firmer, tighter appearance and a lifting effect.

04 / DEPTH-SPECIFIC ACTION

05 / NO DOWNTIME

Because HIFU avoids damaging the epidermis, it has no downtime. Results build gradually and can peak around three to six months after treatment.

Advanced cooling and pulse control make treatment more comfortable than older HIFU machines. Sessions are shorter, with no needles, no skin-surface damage and no downtime.

05 / VISIBLE LIFT WITH LONG-TERM BENEFITS

Firmness, lift and definition can improve within a few weeks. Results may continue to improve for up to six months as collagen rebuilds, with effects lasting 12–18 months depending on individual factors.

IN THEIR WORDS

Over 12,000 treatments since 2013.

I’d tried everything before Clinic 33. This is the first place that actually explained why a treatment would work for my body, not just sold it to me.

Sarah M.

Body contouring

Considered, unrushed, and genuinely results-driven. Kevin talked me through three options before we picked the right one for my skin.

James O.

Skin tightening

Twelve years of visiting other clinics and none came close. The consultation alone told me they knew exactly what they were doing.

HIFU BODY FAQs

What is HIFU and how does it work for the body?

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is an advanced non-invasive treatment designed to contour and tighten the body. It delivers focused ultrasound energy deep into the skin layers, triggering collagen production and gently breaking down stubborn fat cells. It can sculpt and firm areas such as the abdomen, thighs and upper arms without surgery or downtime.

Is HIFU safe for body contouring?

Yes. HIFU is used in medical and aesthetic settings. Clinic 33 uses Sculpt Pro Ultra 4D Platinum HIFU technology to target deeper tissue layers without damaging the skin surface. You may feel mild warmth or tingling during treatment, but most clients find it comfortable.

Which areas of the body can be treated?

HIFU body sculpting can treat loose skin or stubborn pockets of fat on the abdomen, flanks (love handles), inner and outer thighs, upper arms, buttocks and back (bra line). We assess individual concerns and tailor a plan to your goals.

Will I need any downtime after my session?

No. You can return to your usual daily activities straight after your HIFU session. Slight redness or mild tightness in the treated area usually settles within a few hours.

How soon will I see results, and how long do they last?

Some clients notice subtle tightening straight away. The most visible results develop gradually over 4–12 weeks as the body regenerates collagen and processes treated fat. Results can last up to 12–18 months, particularly alongside healthy lifestyle habits.

How many sessions will I need?

One treatment can deliver noticeable results in many cases. Depending on your goals and the area, we may recommend 1–3 sessions spaced 10–12 weeks apart. Your consultation will determine a tailored plan.
