HIFU from Guildford — What to Expect

Changes Clinic operates from 1000 Lakeside, Cosham, Portsmouth. From Guildford, the A3 provides a direct route south, and the drive typically takes 50 to 55 minutes. Parking at Lakeside is free, and the clinic is a professional clinical environment rather than a high-street salon.

HIFU at Changes Clinic is planned and delivered by our qualified, experienced & insured practitioners. Your appointment starts with an assessment of your skin, not with a default treatment plan. We look at your degree of laxity, your skin quality, and your goals before recommending a protocol.

About HIFU

HIFU, or high-intensity focused ultrasound, delivers targeted ultrasound energy to specific depths beneath the skin surface. The energy heats the tissue precisely, which triggers a healing response. New collagen forms, existing tissue tightens, and the skin becomes firmer and better defined over the following weeks and months.

The technology targets the SMAS layer, the connective tissue layer that surgeons manipulate during a traditional surgical facelift. HIFU achieves a similar tightening effect non-invasively, without incisions, anaesthetic, or recovery time.

We use HIFU to address: jowl laxity and loss of jawline definition, brow heaviness, neck and lower face skin looseness, and decolletage texture. Treatment is customised to your anatomy, with the depth and intensity of delivery adjusted by your qualified, experienced & insured practitioners based on your skin thickness and the area being treated.

A full face and neck session takes around 60 to 90 minutes. Most clients find the sensation manageable, though bony areas can feel more intense. Results develop gradually over two to three months as new collagen matures, with peak improvement typically seen at three months. The results can last 12 to 18 months or longer depending on age, skin quality, and lifestyle.

Why Choose Changes Clinic Near Guildford

Clinical assessment, individual protocol. HIFU outcomes depend on the depth settings, the transducer used, and the pattern of delivery. Our qualified, experienced & insured practitioners makes these decisions based on your individual skin and goals, not a standard clinic menu.

CQC-registered clinic with clinical-grade equipment. Changes Clinic holds CQC registration. Our HIFU device is professional-grade. Consumer and mid-range devices marketed as HIFU machines often operate at lower intensities and produce significantly weaker results. Clinical-grade equipment, combined with an experienced practitioner, is what produces the outcomes you see in before-and-after results.

Free consultation, spread the cost with Klarna. Your first appointment is free. We assess your suitability, set realistic expectations, and build a session plan. Klarna is available to spread the cost over three monthly payments at 0% interest. Free parking is on site for every visit.

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)

How many sessions will I need?

Occasionally there is temporary tenderness along the jawline for a day or two. Normal activities can resume the same day, though we advise avoiding extreme heat, such as saunas, for 48 hours post-treatment.

At your free consultation, our qualified, experienced & insured practitioners assess your skin laxity, discusses your goals, and explains what HIFU can and cannot achieve.
