The natural ageing process, effects of gravity, sun exposure and genetic and lifestyle factors call all lead to loss of skin firmness and elasticity. Sagging skin can also occur after childbirth or dramatic weight loss. At Dr McManners’ clinic, we use high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment to tighten skin in a completely non-invasive way.
HIFU treatment uses highly-focused acoustic energy to create thermal coagulation zones within the skin. This coagulating effect in the skin’s lower layers results in immediate tightening. It also triggers a healing response which stimulates the formation of new collagen. The new collagen helps to ensure longer-term tightening with skin looking and feeling more firm and toned.*
The treatment can be used on larger areas of the body including the stomach and thighs. With no surgery, incisions, anaesthetic or downtime, this walk-in walk-out procedure is easily accommodated into busy schedules.
Individual results may vary.

HIFU stands for high-intensity focused ultrasound.
This pioneering therapy uses HIFU energy to create thermal coagulation zones at 3 selected depths within the skin. The process triggers a healing response resulting in the formation of new collagen. HIFU can help to firm, lift and tighten skin including large treatment areas.*
This varies from one individual to the next, but most patients begin to notice an improvement in lift and firmness within 4 weeks. Optimum results should be seen around 3 months.*
Side effects are minimal with this non-invasive procedure.
We’ll develop a personal treatment plan after your consultation but most patients have.
This is a safe treatment with many thousands of procedures carried out worldwide with no significant adverse effects. Ultrasound energy has been safely used in medicine for more than 50 years.
Individual results may vary.
“A few years ago I lost quite a lot of weight. This left the area around my stomach loose and saggy. Skin tightening has really helped and it feels much firmer now.”
