Skin tightening without surgery at Sarasin Clinic

Undergoing surgery to tighten your skin, such as a surgical facelift, is very invasive and drastic. Sarasin Clinic therefore offers several skin tightening treatments that do not involve surgery. This can be done, for example, with a HIFU treatment.

Tighter skin with ultrasonic waves

Fabrizio Hifu Sarasin Clinic

HIFU stands for "High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. This involves heat being directed at specific areas, up to 70°C. However, this is done under strict ultrasound control where the epidermis is not affected and you don't feel any heat either. The ultrasound waves are aimed directly at the deepest layers of skin to stimulate the production of new collagen.

Stimulation of the body's own collagen and elastin

Collagen and elastin play an important role in tightening the skin. In a natural aging process, this is less likely to be produced, causing lines and wrinkles. The focused heat of the HIFU traumatizes the tissues in your body, so to speak, which provokes a healing response. The body then automatically produces new collagen to bind the skin tissues back together. Although results are visible almost immediately, you get the best effect after six months. Then collagen and elastin have done their job and healing of the skin tissues is complete.

Tightening your skin in four steps

A HIFU treatment at Sarasin Clinic is a different experience for each patient. First, you choose which area you want to target. Second, every body works differently, so results may vary. We have an ear for all special requirements. In general, a treatment proceeds as follows:

1. Conversation with the expert

Before we begin treatment, we want to get a full picture of your needs. Most patients experience some tension or pressure, especially during a first treatment. The experts at Sarasin Clinic will answer all your questions and concerns during the consultation.

2. Before treating sagging skin

If you have decided to undergo HIFU treatment, you may choose to have a numbing ointment applied. The pain could be likened to little rubber bands shooting against your skin. Especially with large areas, such as abdomen or thighs, patients benefit from a little anesthetic. 

3. Device setup

Depending on the area to be treated, the device is set to the appropriate depth. The heat can be directed 1.5 mm to 4.5 mm deep. At 4.5 mm deep, you reach the SMAS, a muscle that is manually tightened in a surgical facelift. So with a HIFU treatment, you achieve the same result without cutting and injections. Moreover, the device we use at Sarasin Clinic is FDA-approved!

4. Safe treatment

Once the device is set, we can get started. On average, the treatment takes 45 minutes, but depending on which area is being taken care of, it can be more or less. During the session, we are always open to questions and concerns. Our goal is to eliminate any discomfort. 

Has your skin been treated? Here's what to expect

After treatment

Less redness

  • Unlike a laser treatment, the treated area will not look (almost) red. So you can go about your day as usual without suffering from skin damage.

Results visible immediately after first treatment

  • After just one treatment, your skin will already look firm. Still, the best results only come after six months. Moreover, a follow-up treatment can contribute to better long-term results. In addition, you can boost collagen production with our supplement. 

Starting ordinary daily activities

  • After treatment, you can start your normal daily activities immediately. The treatment has no effect on your mobility or general health. We recommend wearing figure-correcting clothing to stimulate the healing of the skin tissues. In addition, it is also recommended that you avoid sports or heavy exertion for three days.

What is your area to be treated?

A HIFU treatment is possible all over the body: from the face to the thighs. You can also choose to focus on a specific area or address multiple areas at once. The price depends on which area you have treated, but a treatment for tight skin can be as little as 150 euros/session, not including anesthetic ointment or collagen supplements.

"Be your own kind of beautiful."

A treatment like this does not counteract the natural aging process, and the fine wrinkles or skin sagging that accompany it. Skin continues to age no matter what treatment you undergo. The natural way is best, but when insecurities take over, you can always turn to Sarasin Clinic to give nature a hand. Although we are convinced that you are already radiant without it, we can easily tighten your skin without invasive procedures. Contact us for a no-obligation consultation.
