SkinTyte

The SkinTyte – otherwise known as HiFu, is an effective treatment for the dual purposes of generating new collagen in the skin and with the alternative head range, body contouring through the breakdown of body fat.

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.

Cambridge Stratum also offers an alternative, which is the SkinTyte Pro. The SkinTyte Pro is the floor standing version, and has the advantage of a larger 15 inch display and an elegant floor standing design with built in storage. Click here to find out more.

Advantages of Hi-Fu compared to Radio Frequency, and Fractional Laser

Advantages of Hi-Fu compared to Radio Frequency

Can achieve the target 65 – 70C temperatures to cause denaturing of the collagen without overheating the epidermis
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 ErGlass non ablative, or ErYag ablative
Less painful, 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

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.

Deeper Treatment Heads

The deeper treatment heads can be used anywhere on the body where there is sufficient thickness of fat to ensure the beam does not target bone. When body contouring, the temperature does not need to exceed 50C at the target area and the beam which causes the apoptosis of the fat cells, releasing the fat into the inter-cellular space, for use by the body.

Endorsement of the Hi-Fu from our Managing Director – John Culbert

When we were originally considering the product lineup for Cambridge Stratum we steered clear of Hi-Fu therapy because of reports that it was a painful treatment. However, when visiting the factory of our main supplier – Apolomed Medical – I decided to have a treatment on my face so that I could speak from experience and I have to admit that I am now a convert.

I had a treatment at 4.5mm and a second at 3.0mm and at no point was the treatment painful. The 4.5mm treatment was uncomfortable in places and at times there was dull pain which disappeared almost immediately when the treatment moved on. The treatment at 3.0mm was a breeze and I nearly fell asleep!

Immediately after the treatment there was no real discernible change but by the end of week one I was starting to see improvements which have continued. It is always difficult to show the truth with these images and in this case images taken at an angle rather than straight on would have been beneficial. However, I think you will agree that there is a significant difference. I am very pleased with the result and how well it has lasted.
