My name is Jackie, and I bring over 23 years of professional expertise and creativity to the vibrant and evolving world of hairdressing and beauty. As a dedicated Goldwell color specialist and an exceptionally qualified hairdresser, my journey into this fascinating industry began with extensive and rigorous training at the prestigious TONI & GUY academy in Manchester, UK. This foundational experience was further enriched by opportunities to work in diverse environments, which allowed me to gain additional invaluable insights and skills in countries such as Iran, Turkey, and Australia. Throughout my career, I have continuously honed my craft, always striving to provide my clients with the highest standard of service and innovative hair solutions.

What is HIFU treatment for body / weight loss / inch loss?

Ultraformer’s 9mm and 13mm cartridges are used for the body, here HIFU energy is used to target the fat layer and destroy fat cells. HIFU is ideal for body contouring post pregnancy tummy, abdomen fat, bingo wings, thighs and under the buttocks; for a non-surgical bum lifting effect. HIFU is a very effective treatment for both inch loss and fat loss – at the same time tightening the skin!

Does HIFU Treatments hurt?

Our HIFU device offers faster shot speeds and shorter intervals between each shot, this means it’s very comfortable for the patient, in fact far more comfortable and less painful than many other HIFU treatments on the market. Some people describe it as feeling like tiny electric pulses, or a prickly sensation. It’s not pain free but it’s completely tolerable and it may feel different on different areas of your face or body.

IS HIFU SAFE FOR THE FACE?

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is considered a very safe anti-ageing treatment for the face. HIFU is a cosmetic treatment that boosts collagen production and results in tightening deep beneath the skin to provide a visible lift to facial skin.

THE HIFU TREATMENT

A HIFU facial at ENRICH is performed by one of our expert practitioners using the Ultraformer III, a safe, state-of-the-art medical ultrasound device. We use safe HIFU on the face to achieve non-invasive facial tissue lifting, and to improve skin texture and tone.
One of our newer treatment options for non-surgical skin tightening, Ultraformer HIFU treatments result in an unmatched boost for sagging facial tissue. There are few short-lived side-effects from safe HIFU facial treatments in some people.
You can expect is some minor signs of inflammation at first, which means the treatment has worked. Deeper layers of collagen fibres are tightened and collagen production is increased. The treatment results become much clearer at the three-month mark, since collagen takes time to be naturally be produced.

HOW OFTEN WILL I NEED ULTRAFORMER (HIFU) FACE TREATMENTS?

Most people can start with one Ultraformer HIFU treatment to start with, however, in some cases, two may be performed three or four months apart. For maintenance, treatments may be scheduled annually, however, the frequency will be determined by your cosmetic specialist. At ENRICh we have the mantra that 1 +1 =3, so two treatments reasonable close together will give you the benefit of three. The Ultraformer ( HIFU) treatment is one of those treatments that you tend to see the full benefit months up the track. It is the nature of the treatment and the depth in which the ultrasound energy goes into the layers of the skin.

WHAT DOES RESEARCH SAY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF HIFU FACIAL TREATMENTS?

A 2015 study (Park et al) published in the Annals of Dermatology looked into how well the HIFU treatments worked and how satisfied the patients were after their treatments. The study was conducted on 20 Korean people with facial wrinkles and laxity (sagging) after just one treatment.
The study employed two independent clinicians to evaluate the results across seven areas of the face using before and after photos. Photos were taken once before the treatment, then immediately after, and at the three- and six-month marks.
Both the patients and the doctors had similar views on how well the treatment worked, with visible improvements to facial skin tightness noted. Most patients were very satisfied, particularly at the three-month mark.
The researchers observed that the most noticeable improvements were seen around the eyes, jawline and cheeks. The only adverse effects noted were redness and swelling in six of the 20 patients, and two cases of blood spots and bruising. These effects were noted as mild and short-lived.
A 2016 study (Zandvakili et al) saw similar overall results across 25 Iranian patients. In this case, most physicians and patients rated the treatment results as ‘normal’ or ‘good’, with just one person saying the treatment was ‘weak’. The researchers noted that HIFU was a safe and effective treatment for facial skin tightening, reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles, and improving skin tone and facial contours.
A 2012 study (Alster and Tanzi) published by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery showed that HIFU is effective and safe to use for improving skin texture and contours on the knees, inner thighs and upper arms.
