Does HIFU actually work?
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) has generated enough online noise, both positive and negative, that it is reasonable to ask the question directly. The scepticism exists because the aesthetics market has produced a large number of low-grade devices sold under the HIFU name that produce inconsistent results or none at all. This has created genuine uncertainty about whether the technology works.
The underlying science is well-established. HIFU delivers focused ultrasound energy to the SMAS layer, the fibromuscular tissue layer underneath the skin that surgical facelifts also target. This energy creates thermal coagulation points that stimulate the body's collagen production response. Over the following months, the treated tissue contracts and the overlying skin tightens. Clinical studies support this mechanism and its outcomes for mild to moderate skin laxity.
The quality of the result depends on the device used and whether the energy is delivered accurately to the correct tissue depth. Consumer-grade HIFU devices operate at lower energies and achieve shallower depths. Clinical-grade devices, set correctly by a trained practitioner, can reach the SMAS layer where the meaningful lifting response occurs. At Changes Clinic, your qualified, experienced & insured practitioners assess your skin before treatment and determines the appropriate parameters for your anatomy.

About HIFU at Changes Clinic
Our qualified, experienced & insured practitioners use clinical-grade HIFU technology to deliver focused ultrasound energy to multiple tissue depths, including the superficial dermis, the deeper dermis and the SMAS layer. This stimulates collagen production and causes gradual tissue contraction in the months following treatment.
HIFU is most effective for lifting the brow, jawline and jowl area, tightening the neck and improving overall skin tone in clients with mild to moderate laxity. Results develop over 4 to 6 months and many clients see continued improvement up to 6 months post-treatment.

HIFU carried out by our qualified, experienced & insured practitioners
Correct HIFU treatment requires a practitioner to understand the anatomy of the face at multiple tissue depths, choose the right transducer heads for each treatment area, and set energy parameters that will reach the target layer without damaging surrounding tissue. This is clinical knowledge, not simply operating a device.
Our qualified, experienced & insured practitioners carry out every HIFU assessment and treatment at our CQC-registered clinic at 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth. The consultation includes a discussion of realistic outcomes, contraindications and what to expect in the weeks following 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.

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 :) .

Common questions
Is HIFU safe?
Clinical-grade HIFU is a non-ionising treatment with no radiation. The most common side effects are temporary redness, tingling, tenderness and mild swelling, which typically resolve within a few days. Less commonly, clients experience temporary numbness or bruising in the treated area. These resolve on their own. Serious adverse events are rare and are most often associated with incorrect depth settings on inappropriate devices. Our qualified, experienced & insured practitioners use clinical-grade equipment and carries out an individual assessment before every treatment.
How is HIFU different from a surgical facelift?
A surgical facelift removes excess skin and repositions deeper tissue through incisions, under general anaesthetic, with a recovery period of several weeks. The results are more dramatic and last longer, typically 7 to 10 years. HIFU does not involve surgery or anaesthetic. It stimulates the body's own collagen response over several months, producing a gradual lift and tightening effect that is natural-looking but more modest. For clients with mild to moderate laxity who want improvement without surgery, HIFU is a clinically sound option. For clients with significant skin excess, surgery would produce a better result, and we will say so.
Can HIFU be combined with other treatments at Changes Clinic?
Yes. HIFU combines well with dermal fillers for volume loss, anti-wrinkle injections for expression lines, and RF microneedling for skin texture and surface quality. These treatments address different aspects of skin ageing and work complementarily. Your qualified, experienced & insured practitioners can recommend the right combination at consultation based on your specific concerns and your skin.
