SkinTyte – 3D Multi-Line Portable Hi-Fu

Non invasive, long term skin tightening

Our stated intention is to provide world class products at world class prices. This is not an empty claim and is fully backed by the Cambridge Stratum market leading 3 year warranty.

We believe this says what we stand for, far more comprehensively, than any number of unsubstantiated claims.

SkinTyte II 3D Multiline Portable Hi-Fu

SkinTyte II is our latest 3D Multiline portable Hi-Fu machine and is an evolution in the technology. It retains the good aspects of the SkinTyte I model, such as the clam shell case design, which makes it so portable and robust. While at the same time inside the machine there have been a number of improvements resulting in a significantly improved product.

The most visible of these is the software which has been greatly enhanced to simplify the operation for the less experienced user.

Overall the result of the changes is a product that excels at its task and builds upon the proven reliability of the SkinTyte I 3D Multiline Portable Hi-Fu . We are therefore proud to be able to offer the Cambridge Stratum market leading 3 year warranty on this excellent product.

HOW HI-FU WORKS

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (Hi-Fu) works by focusing ultrasound in a very specific and controlled way so that only at the point of focus is there sufficient heat generated to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. This ability to precisely control the location of the treatment area in all 3 dimensions is an important differentiation between Hi-Fu and other ultrasound or radio frequency treatments.

As the energy passes through the epidermis it is unfocused and has no discernable effect. At the focal point the ultrasound beam can readily produce temperatures in excess of 50C for the breakdown of fat or 65-70C for the generation of new collagen in the skin.

Two Modes of Operation

SkinTyte II has both a professional mode for the experienced user and a smart mode for those newer to the technology.

However, even in the Professional mode there are built in safeguards to reduce the chance of errors.

Within the professional mode the experienced user is also able to specify their own protocols.

Standard “smart” mode

For the less experienced user the Standard “smart” mode will guide the user to the correct approximate settings through answers to patient:

Gender
Age
Skin hydration
Area to be treated.

The user will still retain full control but this process and the built in safety interlockers actively prevent most potential user errors.

ADVANTAGES COMPARED TO RADIO FREQUENCY, AND FRACTIONAL LASER

Advantages of Hi-Fu compared to Radio Frequency

Hi-Fu heats the surface very little and through its focusing effect achieves the internal target temperatures of 65 – 70C to cause denaturing of the collagen. RF cannot do this even with tip cooling and is limited to around 44C which is ineffective as a long term treatment.
In addition Hi-Fu also produces a secondary effect that mimics the effect of RF. In effect two treatments in one.
It is fractional which enables faster healing
Penetrates deeper than bi-polar RF

Advantages of Hi-Fu compared to Fractional Laser

Does not compromise the basal layer
Penetrates deeper than either Er:Glass non ablative, or ErYag ablative
Less painful, typically no pain relief required and no downtime compared to ablative laser

Fractional Laser Advantage

Hi-Fu works from within and at a depth in practice of not less than 1.5mm – 2mm. Fractional laser treatments are better for resurfacing, for instance when treating acne scarring
1550nm fractional laser used in combination to replace the 1.5mm Hi-Fu scan can produce a superior result by resurfacing the skin while also delivering a permanent skin tighten treatment all the way down to around 5mm.
This combination of Hi-Fu and 1550nm laser can more than match the combination of needling and RF. Plus it has the major advantages of no needles to penetrate the skin and much lower consumable costs – typically around 1/10th.

AREAS THAT CAN BE TREATED

Applications for the face

Can be used to lift and firm the jowl area, reduce frown lines, lift eyebrows and tighten brow, soften smile lines and reduce nasolabial folds.

Applications for the body

Can be used to help improve the appearance of the neck, reduce ‘bat wings’ on the arms, reduce midriff and love handles on the hips and to aid in reducing fat on the thighs

Please note – the treatment will enable fat to be lost from the target area in preference to other areas. Best results will be achieved if the client also controls calorie intake and exercises.
