HIFU Body Treatment
Body Enhance offers 2 types of HIFU Body treatment - Fat Removal or Skin Tightening & wrinkle removal.
Skin Tightening & wrinkle removal treatment is ideal for décolletage, upper knee wrinkles, Tummy and or belly button. It uses the same machine and cartridges as used for face treatments and treats up to 3 depths of the skin in 1 treatment. Visible improvements can often be seen immediately with progressive results for up to 6 months. As with all the HIFU treatments there are no needles, no downtime and non invasive.
HIFU Body / Liposonics is the removal of fat using High intense focused ultrasound (also know as Liposonics).
The Ultrasound is focused into 2 different depths of fat unlike traditional ultrasonic and laser lipo which just treats the surface layer. Fat cells are ruptured and then the liquid fat is passed out of the body trough the lymphatic drainage system. Results of 2.8-4cm can be lost in the treatment area from just 1 session and results are lasting (providing you are maintaining your weight). The treatment is fast and effective and is classified as pain free although for best results and to help you get the most for your money, I do aim to turn up the strength to as high as you can tolerate so if booking with Body Enhance you should expect to experience some heat and prickling.
For best results I also only like to treat 1 area at a time but for extremely active and well hydrated individuals I may agree to a maximum of 2 areas.
Body Enhance has worked with various adipose removal technologies since the start of the business in 2014 and has found HIFU to be the best non invasive option for fat removal, skin tightening and sculpting.
No needles, no drugs or chemicals and no downtime.
What are the benefits of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)?

The Treatment
Before the treatment
A consultation is carried out to check suitability for the treatment and to discuss what areas you would like to treat.
You are less likely to feel the treatment if well hydrated so drink lots of water before your treatment.
During the Treatment
Treatment takes place in our home based clinic with plenty of parking and no interruptions with you being the only client we see at the time. The visit takes 40mins to 2 hours depending on the areas you have selected for treatment .
After the treatment
There is no downtime after the treatment and you can return to work immediately however you may have some mild redness and swelling of the treated area. You will also be avoiding sunbeds, saunas and hot tubs for a week after the treatment so bare this in mind when booking.
Before and After Images
All before and after images are the results of Body Enhances own work, we never use stock images from machine manufacturer.
Unfortunately the majority of our clients do not consent to their images being used online. And Body Enhance never uses images without written consent so you are never at risk of unexpectedly seeing an image of yourself from us online without approving it first.
The below images are immediately before and immediately after ( so approx 1hr apart).
At this point the fat has been melted but is still present in the body as this is removed daily in your urine by the body. These images give you an idea of the inch loss experienced in the 1st hour and they are progressive following the one treatment .
FAQ's
What areas can be treated?
Abdomen, Thighs, Back, Hips, Male Chest and Upper Arms
How many sessions will I need?
Usually only one session is required. Most improvement can be seen within 3-4 weeks, with further improvement being reported for up to 6 months. Some areas may benefit from more than 1 treatment but we encourage you to wait 4 months to realize results from 1st visit before paying for more.
How long will the results last?
Results are permanent providing you maintain your weight.
Does the treatment hurt?
We like to administer the treatment at a high setting to get you great results for your money from 1 treatment. Therefore our treatment is a little more uncomfortable but we get you better results for less money.
I suggest you book your treatment for when you are mid menstrual cycle as you are least sensitive at this time and it will allow us to turn the machine up higher giving you better results.
Am I suitable for the treatment?
To benefit from receiving the treatment at 2 depths as included in the price you need at least 2.6cm grabbable fat in the area to be treated.
Less than 1.6cm grabbable fat makes HIFU body treatment not suitable in that area.
You should also have a BMI of below 30 to see results.
Certain medications and supplements can interfere with the healing and so can not be taken for the week leading up to and the week following the treatment but these are discussed at the consultation.
Some medical conditions can make you unsuitable for the treatment. If you have concerns regarding these please contact us via email or phone and we will discuss with you.
What medications interfere or stop me from having this treatment?
Blood thinning medications including aspirin and ibuprofen should be stopped at least one week before the treatment.
Also supplements such as vitamin E, St Johns Wort, Ginkgo Biloba, Fish Oil should be discontinued a week before the treatment to avoid bruising.
Topical retinoids and Alpha-Beta Hydroxy Acids must be discontinued about 2 weeks prior to treatment.
Will I be bruised after the treatment?
Most clients do not as we advise you avoid anything that thins the blood like aspirin etc for a week prior to treatment however there is always a risk of bruising, this is however very rare in our experience.
