For treatments that include facial lifting and tightening, the ULFIT delivers High Intensity Focused Ultrasound into target layers of the dermis, which prompts the production of new collagen, resulting in a naturally rejuvenated appearance.

For body contouring and slimming procedures, the ULFIT utilizes Macro Focused Circular Ultrasound, or MFCU, to target stubborn fat cells in certain parts of the body. Moving in circular precision, MFCU only targets fat cells and yields outcomes for a slimmer and contoured body shape. 

The first treatment of HIFU Ulfit is preceded with a dermatological consultation. 

Directly Before: 

• the skin is cleaned

Some Clients experience a strong prickling whereas others feel a gentle tingling.
