The Focus Dual is a revolutionary skin tightening and lifting machine using a combination of Radio Frequency Microneedling and HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound). The unique combination of both of these treatments leave the skin looking and feeling more youthful with a reduction of the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, jowls, scarring and acne scarring, uneven skin texture and large pores as well as stretch marks and fat reduction.
As seen in a recent article in the Telegraph, Laser Specialist Debbie Thomas has suggested that the frequency of needing a top up in injectable treatments such as Botox and dermal fillers has been reduced because of the results seen with the RF Microneedling and HIFU. The radio frequency can be used tighten the skin and reduce the fine lines around the face and eyes, like Botox can – except for the deeper frown lines which it is still the best protocol.
How does RF Microneedling work?
Radio Frequency Microneedling helps to improve the overall appearance and rejuvenation of the skin, through the delivery of heat into the deeper layers if the skin. The causes the collagen structures within these layers to tighten. The RF energy directs heat into the more superficial dermis and epidermis, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. By inducing thermal trauma to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers, it creates stronger, firmer, and more lifted skin to help with concerns such as wrinkles and laxity.
Unlike other devices, the Focus Dual uses super fine ‘micro’ needles for a safe, precise, and more comfortable treatment. With the focus dual we can treat ALL skin types through the ability to adjust not only the needle depth but the power of the Rf energy to tailor all treatments specifically to you!
How does HIFU work?
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) creates deep focus points of coagulative necrosis in the SMAS layer of the skin. The SMAS layer is the layer of the skin that a face surgeon would physically lift in a face lift! The heat zones created kickstart the production of collagen and elastin, the natural proteins needed for youthful looking skin! The SMAS layer immediately contracted without damage to the skin surface or surrounding tissues, this creates immediate tightening and lifting. As the skin’s wound healing response is triggered, the skin naturally lifts, firms, and tightens over time. You will continue to see that the results improve for up to 12 weeks post treatment – how amazing is that!!
The Focus Dual is one of the only machines to use Safety Assist Transducers (SAT) to emit high intensity ultrasound in a unique pattern that allows for safer and more comfortable treatments for ALL skin types.
The Focus Dual is perfect for everyone, with the ability to adjust the settings and handpieces to suit all ages, skin types and skin concerns, we can tailor a unique treatment that suits you! If you would like to kickstart your Focus Dual journey, please contact the clinic on 01772 816133!
