Medical Expertise. Advanced Technology. Natural Results.

While many clinics offer HIFU, few provide the clinical oversight of a highly experienced Independent Nurse Prescriber. Laurie Arias combines 20+ years of aesthetic mastery with the world-class ULTRAcel Q+ technology to deliver the gold standard in non-surgical skin tightening.

What is HIFU? The Science of the “Coffee break Lift” and now downtime

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment that targets the same deep foundational layers of tissue (the SMAS layer) that surgeons reach during a traditional facelift.

Unlike lasers which treat the skin’s surface, HIFU bypasses the upper layers to deliver thermal energy at precise depths. This triggers a natural healing response that contracts the skin and jumpstarts massive collagen production. Under Laurie’s expert hand, this results in a visible “lift” that evolves naturally over time.

Why ULTRAcel Q+ is the Superior HIFU Choice

Laurie has specifically selected the ULTRAcel Q+ for her practice because it overcomes the limitations of traditional HIFU devices.

  • Unrivaled Skin Tightening: It is the only system that offers both “Dot” and “Linear” technology, allowing Laurie to target both skin laxity and localized fat (such as a double chin) with surgical-grade precision.
  • Speed & Comfort: Traditional HIFU can be slow and painful. The Q+ is 3x faster, delivering a full face treatment in under 15 minutes with significantly less discomfort.
  • No Downtime: You can return to your daily routine immediately after treatment, making it the perfect “stealth” procedure for a busy lifestyle.

Targeted Treatment Areas

Laurie utilizes HIFU to address the most common signs of aging by tightening and firming:

  • The Lower Face: Sharpening the jawline and eliminating “jowls.”
  • The Neck & Decolletage: Smoothing “crepey” skin and tightening the “turkey neck” area.
  • The Brow & Eyes: Lifting heavy eyelids and reducing the appearance of “hooded” eyes.
  • Body Contouring: Tightening loose skin on the arms (bingo wings), abdomen, and above the knees.

The Laurie Arias Difference:
An Anatomy-First Approach

HIFU is a powerful tool, but its effectiveness is entirely dependent on the person holding the handpiece.

As a former NHS A&E Sister, Laurie’s profound understanding of facial anatomy ensures that the ultrasound energy is delivered to the exact depth where it will be most effective.

Laurie’s strategically maps your face to enhance your unique bone structure, ensuring you never look “over-pulled,” just naturally refreshed and tightened.

“My goal with HIFU is to restore the collagen scaffolding of the face. We aren’t changing who you are; we are simply reminding your skin how to be firm, tight, and resilient again.”

ULTRAcel Q+ can rejuvenate, contour, lift and tighten the face and body.

It can also lift and tighten specific areas of concern on the body, such as abdomen fat, upper arms, elbows, knees, thighs and under the buttocks and achieve a more toned and sculpted body shape by eliminating stubborn pockets of fat.

You will feel small amounts of energy travelling down into the skin. Minimal discomfort may vary from person to person but the sensation only lasts as long as the energy is being delivered. No anaesthetic is required.

After an ULTRAcel Q+ treatmet, you can resume day-to-day activities immediately with zero recovery time. There may be slight redness after the treatment but this usually resolves after a few hours.

The use of a high factor sunscreen to protect the skin is important following treatment. Aftercare will be discussed with you in clinic and we will also be on hand to answer any questions you might have during the days or weeks afterwards.

For facial treatments, you may notice your skin is smoother and tighter immediately after the treatment. Noticeable effects will take place over two to four months, with the optimal result taking place in up to six months, as new collagen is produced. For fat reduction treatments, again, you may notice an immediate contouring effect but the full effects will continue to improve over the following six months.

This will be dependent on the areas being treated and the condition of the skin. Between 1-3 treatments would be recommended for the face and between 3–5 treatments for the body.

UltraCelQ+ is not suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Ultrasound treatments are also not suitable for anyone with a Pacemaker fitted or with metal plate implants in the areas to be treated.
