HIFU at a clinical standard

HIFU, or high-intensity focused ultrasound, delivers precise energy to the deeper structural layers of the skin, including the SMAS layer targeted in surgical facelifts. This stimulates collagen production and causes tissue contraction, producing a lifting and tightening effect over the weeks following treatment, without surgery or downtime.

The depth of energy delivery is what makes HIFU different from surface-level skin treatments. It also means that the device settings and the clinical judgement of the person operating it have a direct effect on both results and safety. At Changes Clinic, our qualified, experienced & insured practitioners carry out every HIFU assessment and treatment. The consultation determines your skin quality, your anatomical structure and the appropriate treatment parameters for your face and neck.

Our CQC-registered clinic at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth uses medical-grade HIFU devices. This is not the same technology as the lower-powered portable units available in many salons. The energy levels, penetration depths and cartridge types are calibrated for clinical outcomes. You can find more detail on our HIFU service page.

What we treat

HIFU at Changes Clinic targets skin laxity in the face, jaw, neck and brow area. Treatment is particularly effective for jowling, loose neck skin, brow heaviness and the gradual loss of facial definition that comes with collagen depletion. It is also used for body skin tightening on the abdomen, thighs and upper arms.

Results build progressively over 2 to 3 months as new collagen forms. Most clients notice early improvement from 4 to 6 weeks after their treatment.

Very happy with my consultation. I got the answers I was hoping for and I will soon be booking myself in for a quick and easy mole/sun spot removal. I now have a new understanding of what the problem is and what has caused it. Thank you.

I’ve suffered with rosacea for several years and have tried all sorts of creams, skincare routines and products, but nothing really made a lasting difference. Looking after my skin and being mindful of my diet definitely helps to keep it under control, but IPL at Changes Clinic has made the biggest difference by far. The redness in my face has reduced so much, and even when I do get a flare up, it’s nowhere near as bad as it used to be because the underlying redness has improved so much. Everyone at Changes Clinic has been friendly, professional and really knowledgeable. They’ve always taken the time to answer any questions and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. I’d happily recommend Changes Clinic to anyone who suffers from rosacea and is thinking about IPL. It’s made a huge difference to my skin and has given me so much more confidence.

It’s the first time I’ve done something like this. What a lovely place & people. Very kind, polite & efficient. Very impressed with my procedure, obviously, it hasn’t healed yet, but will definitely be back for more treatment & also considering other treatments too. Well impressed and everything was explained as the treatment was carried out, pleasantly surprised, thank you so much for taking such good care of my skin. Lee B

I had PRP Hair Treatment, with Sumayiah, she is very friendly, she takes the time to explain the procedure and really makes sure to focus on target areas. I have had 2 treatments so far and I already see a difference in my hair density and texture. She can use a gun or syringe, the syringe goes deeper and achieves better results, so its worth asking for the syringe method. I combined my PRP with Calecim serum and that gives an even greater boost. So I recomend you sign up and ask for a booking with Sumaiyah, you'll be very happy that you did..

One of the best decisions I’ve made for my skin! The treatments are effective, safe, and handled by experienced professionals. I struggled with acne for years, and after visiting this clinic, I finally see clear and healthy skin. The staff always follows up after treatments, which shows how much they care about their clients’ progress. Their attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction is truly impressive. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone who wants real results and excellent service.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere with great staff. My lazer hair removal was undertaken by two very capable proffessional young women Kelly and Surmaiyah. Both demonstrate constant care and ensure this not always comfortable experience is as pleasant as possible. The facility is immaculately clean and there is excellent visitor free parking available. I have no hesitation in recommending the clinic to others and whilst I can only comment on the treatments I have received to date I will be availing myself of some of the others services offered.

I am so glad I visited the Changes Clinic today for an upper abdominal ultrasound. I was a nervous wreck as I have a bit of a phobia of scans & Andrea was just brilliant with me. So reassuring, she went above & beyond with careful detailed descriptions, even went over some areas twice just for extra reassurance. I left smiling with a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I have already recommended to a friend & highly recommend to anyone experiencing symptoms they’d like some extra peace of mind for. Was also really easy to book & communication excellent throughout. Thank you so much!!

I’ve been attending changes for facial hair removal for about 6 months now and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best and easiest experiences for me. Sumaiyah has been amazing through every step. From consultation to our current progress. She shows great professionalism, compassion, consideration -especially when I’m having a bad pain tolerance day- and is very meticulous in which the results are to show for it. Every appointment I get a little nervous and Sumaiyah has always put my nerves at ease and worked at a pace that suits me and my needs. I’m very thankful to work with her and be attending changes clinic. I would recommend their treatment. The staff are very welcoming. Adriana Verrier :) .

Chloe was very well informed and helpful. There was probably too much information to absorb in the time span, and more published literature would be helpful (FAQs, prices, offers, medical considerations etc)

Common questions

How far is Changes Clinic from Alton?
Our clinic is at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth. From Alton, the drive via the A31 takes approximately 40 to 45 minutes. Free parking is available at the clinic, so you can factor that saving into the overall value of attending.
Is a consultation required before HIFU?
Yes. HIFU treatment is planned individually for each client. The consultation determines which areas to treat, which cartridge depths are appropriate for your skin thickness and anatomy, and what results are realistic for your starting point. Our qualified, experienced & insured practitioners sets all treatment parameters based on this assessment. The consultation is free and there is no commitment to proceed.
How long do HIFU results last?
Results typically last between 12 and 18 months. The collagen response triggered by HIFU continues to improve your results for several months after the treatment session. After that, the natural ageing process resumes. Most clients return for a maintenance treatment once a year to sustain the improvement.
What makes Changes Clinic different from a beauty salon or non-clinical provider?
HIFU devices range from medical-grade systems to low-powered consumer units. The results and the risks are proportional to the technology. At Changes Clinic, our qualified, experienced & insured practitioners use a medical-grade HIFU system and sets treatment parameters based on a clinical assessment. Many salons offer HIFU using underpowered devices without the training to assess suitability or recognise contraindications. The clinical environment and the practitioner qualification are what give you a treatment that is both safe and effective.
