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.

Platinum HIFU penetrates the skin, SMAS, and subcutaneous fat more deeply than conventional methods, stimulating full collagen regeneration & remodelling. This results in a noticeable improvement in texture and appearance from 1 session. It’s 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’. HIFU is a non-invasive aesthetic procedure which uses focused ultrasound energy waves to penetrate all 3 layers of the skin (Epidermis, Dermis & Hypodermis/ subcutaneous tissue). The outcome of these waves is to stimulate collagen production & remodelling, thus causing tissue regeneration, tightening and rejuvenation.

  1. Ultrasound Energy Delivery
  • HIFU devices emit high-frequency ultrasound waves.
  • These waves are precisely focused on specific depths under the skin (typically 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm), bypassing the surface.
  • The energy converges at a focal point in the deeper skin layers—similar to how sunlight can be focused by a magnifying glass.
  1. Thermal Coagulation Zones
  • At the focal point, the ultrasound energy generates heat of around 60–70°C in small, controlled areas.
  • This heat causes thermal coagulation: micro-injuries that do not harm the skin surface but stimulate the body’s healing response.
  1. Collagen Regeneration
  • The thermal injuries trigger the wound-healing cascade:
  • Immediate contraction of existing collagen fibres.
  • Gradual regeneration of new, stronger collagen over 4 –12 weeks.
  • This leads to firmer, tighter skin and a lifting effect.
  1. Depth-Specific Action

Each target depth serves a purpose:

  • 1.5 mm – superficial dermis (fine lines, texture)
  • 3.0 mm – mid to deep dermis (firmness, tightening)
  • 4.5 mm – SMAS layer (superficial muscular aponeurotic system), the same layer tightened during surgical facelifts.
  1. No Downtime
  • Because it avoids damaging the epidermis, HIFU has no downtime.
  • Results build gradually, peaking around 3–6 months post-treatment.

What Our Clients Have To Say

“My weight on the scales has not changed however people keep telling me how much weight I have lost and I have been able to wear things I have not fitted in to for years. My stomach is noticeably much flatter and I feel more confident and happy. The fact the treatment didn’t hurt at all, was quick and had no downtime makes it even better. I would recommend this to anyone!”

It’s with no doubt the best non-invasive treatment on the market for weight loss.”

HIFU Treatment FAQ’s

What is HIFU and how does it work for the body?2025-05-14T11:50:22+01:00

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is an advanced non-invasive treatment designed to contour and tighten the body. It works by delivering focused ultrasound energy deep into the skin layers, triggering collagen production and gently breaking down stubborn fat cells. It’s a clinically proven way to sculpt and firm areas like the abdomen, thighs, and upper arms—with no surgery or downtime.

Is HIFU safe for body contouring?2025-05-14T11:51:20+01:00

Yes. HIFU is a safe and trusted treatment used in both medical and aesthetic settings. At Clinic 33, we use the latest 4D Platinum HIFU technology that precisely targets the deeper tissue layers without damaging the surface of the skin. You may feel a mild warmth or tingling sensation during treatment, but most clients find it very comfortable.

Which areas of the body can be treated?2025-05-14T11:51:53+01:00

HIFU body sculpting is ideal for treating areas with loose skin or stubborn pockets of fat. Common treatment areas include:

  • Abdomen
  • Flanks (love handles)
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Upper arms
  • Buttocks
  • Back (bra line)

We’ll always assess your individual concerns and tailor a treatment plan to your goals.

Will I need any downtime after my session?2025-05-14T11:52:25+01:00

No. One of the major benefits of HIFU is that it requires no recovery time. You can return to your usual daily activities straight after your session. There may be a slight redness or mild tightness in the treated area, but this usually settles within a few hours.

How soon will I see results, and how long do they last?2025-05-14T11:52:42+01:00

Some clients notice subtle tightening effects straight away. However, the most visible results develop gradually over 4 – 12 weeks as your body naturally regenerates collagen and processes treated fat. These results can last up to 12–18 months, particularly when combined with healthy lifestyle habits.

How many sessions will I need?2025-05-14T11:53:08+01:00

In many cases, just one treatment can deliver noticeable results. However, depending on your goals and the area being treated, we may recommend a series of 1–3 sessions, spaced 10 – 12 weeks apart. We’ll always provide a bespoke plan based on your starting point and desired outcome.
