Body Contouring
Body contouring is simply a fancy term used to describe the process of non-surgical fat reduction. There are number of different aesthetic procedures that can be used to get rid of these stubborn pockets of fat that refuse to move when you’re using traditional exercise methods, but one of the best is to use HIFU to get rid of them for good.
We’ve found that when it comes to body contouring, the most common places to have a HIFU treatment performed are in those areas where people are naturally more insecure and lack confidence with, such as their;
- Chest
- Stomach
- Arms
- Hips
- Thighs
- Bum
- Neck
But really, thanks to how safe it is, HIFU treatments can be used to perform body contouring on near enough any area of the body that has built up stubborn fat via any means, whether that is down to a medical problem or something that has just happened over time.
Why choose a non-surgical body contouring treatment?
Many people opt for a HIFU body contouring treatment when they are looking to remove stubborn fat from a target area whilst simultaneously tightening the skin. HIFU body contouring treatments are suitable for near enough anyone who wants to either remove some stubborn fat or tighten their skin to get their body looking exactly how they’ve always wanted it to! It doesn’t matter whether you’re 30 or 60, if you feel you could benefit from a body contouring treatment then our team will be able to advise you and help you take the next step.
How does non-surgical body contouring work?
HIFU, otherwise known as high intensity focused ultrasound, is a piece of technology which has been around for a number of years now and has quite a few different uses within both of the beauty and medical industries, but one of the things that it is incredibly good at is targeting specific cells at a much deeper level than any of its competitors without causing any risk to the surrounding cells and tissue. By going much deeper, it can target the subcutaneous level beneath the skin and actually break down the fat and in the process, tighten the outer levels of the skin.
During the treatment, the ultrasound energy causes damage to the fat cells at a molecular level, causing them to break down and disperse into your lymphatic system where it is transported to your liver. Your liver then simply processes this in the same way that it would with food that you are consuming and passes it out through the body’s natural methods.
Dependent on your exact goals, you may require multiple treatments to get to where you want to be and sometimes we see clients come back once or twice, but post treatment you should expected to see a loss of one or two inches over the coming weeks and months.
What are the benefits?
The major benefits associated with a HIFU body contouring treatment are a loss of up to two inches from the targetted area, in addition to smoother and firmer skin with results that can last for a very long time when they are properly maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can HIFU damage the skin?
It’s a valid concern when undergoing a skin treatment that it may cause damage to the skin, but the HIFU treatment has been proven to be safe for use on the skin and is effective at improving the texture and elasticity of the skin.
How long do HIFU body contouring results last?
This depends on the individual who is undergoing the treatment. As a bare minimum, your results should last between six months to one year, but with the right aftercare and maintenance then they can last much longer than this.
Can fat come back after HIFU body contouring?
HIFU is not considered to be a method of weight loss treatment, although it is good at removing and reducing subcutaneous fat beneath the skin. The long term results should remain stable, but if you’re unwilling to maintain them and continue to binge eat then you will see a noticeable gain in weight.
Are there any side effects to a HIFU body contouring treatment?
Post treatment there may be some noticeable redness and swelling to the treated area, but this should disappear within a few hours and your body will be hard at work internally breaking down the fat cells and tightening the skin.
Is there any downtime?
No, there’s no downtime at all associated with a HIFU body contouring treatment and you can get back to your daily life almost immediately.
