High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to target deep layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and resulting in skin tightening and lifting. This procedure is an excellent alternative to surgical facelifts, offering visible results without the downtime associated with surgery.

How HIFU Works

HIFU works by delivering concentrated ultrasound energy to the skin’s foundational layer, the same layer typically addressed in cosmetic surgery. The heat generated by this energy stimulates the production of new collagen, which helps to improve the skin’s elasticity and firmness over time. The process is gradual, with optimal results appearing over three to six months following treatment.

Benefits of HIFU:

Non-invasive with no downtime
Stimulates natural collagen production
Improves skin tone and texture
Long-lasting results

What to Expect During Treatment

During a HIFU session at Collagen Restore in Trowbridge, a gel is applied to the skin, and a handheld device is used to deliver ultrasound energy. The treatment can last between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Patients may experience slight discomfort during the procedure, but this is typically brief and well-tolerated.

Aqualyx: Fat-Dissolving Injections

Aqualyx is an injectable treatment designed to target and dissolve stubborn fat deposits. It is particularly effective for areas where diet and exercise have little impact, such as the chin, thighs, and abdomen. Aqualyx is a non-surgical solution that helps contour and slim the body.

How Aqualyx Works

Aqualyx contains deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps to break down and absorb fats. When injected directly into fatty tissue, Aqualyx disrupts the fat cell membrane, causing the cells to dissolve. The body then naturally eliminates these fat cells through its metabolic processes.

Benefits of Aqualyx:

Non-surgical fat reduction
Effective for targeted areas
Minimal downtime
Progressive, natural-looking results

What to Expect During Treatment

Patients at Collagen Restore will undergo a consultation to determine the suitability of Aqualyx for their needs. The injections are administered using fine needles, and the number of sessions required varies based on the treatment area and the amount of fat. Mild swelling or bruising can occur post-treatment but typically resolves within a few days.

Morpheus 8: Radiofrequency Microneedling

Morpheus 8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to rejuvenate and resurface the skin. This innovative treatment penetrates deep into the skin layers to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of scars and wrinkles.

How Morpheus 8 Works

Morpheus 8 uses a fractionated RF energy system delivered through microneedles. These microneedles create tiny punctures in the skin, allowing the radiofrequency energy to be delivered deep into the dermis. This dual action promotes collagen and elastin production, leading to a firmer, more youthful complexion.

Benefits of Morpheus 8:

Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Improves skin tone and texture
Treats acne scars and stretch marks
Tightens sagging skin

What to Expect During Treatment

At Collagen Restore in Trowbridge, the Morpheus 8 treatment begins with the application of a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. The procedure lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, and patients might experience redness and swelling for a few days post-treatment. Results continue to improve over several weeks as new collagen forms.
