The High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for Fat Removal and Skin Tightening (for the Body) programme listed on Emagister, is the newest course in body sculpting and fat removal.

HIFU for the Body is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that targets subcutaneous adipose tissue by utilising High Intensity Ultrasound energy, causing thermal coagulation to fat cells. The energy penetrating the skin destroys the adipose tissue, releasing triglycerides. The damaged cells attract and draw macrophage to the treated area. Microphage engulf and clear away adipose cells following the body's natural metabolic processes. HIFU for the Body not only helps to reduce adipose tissue without damaging the skin, but the positive impact of the temperature also stimulates fibroblasts and shrinks collagen which has the overall effect of skin tightening.

About this course

Often one single treatment can lead to great improvements that will continue to develop as the body continues to produce new collagen. The precise delivery of energy ensures safety and accuracy, avoiding damage to the skin, surrounding tissue and internal organs. Use of HIFU for the reduction of subcutaneous fat and skin tightening does not produce any acute, long-term adverse effects. This treatment delivers a high level of client satisfaction.

Our courses are suitable for Beauty Therapists with the suitable pre-requisites (Level 3 Beauty or equivalent) and Aesthetic practitioners. In order to graduate from all of our courses, students will need to pass a final written examination to assess their knowledge and understanding, and to pass a practical observation performing the treatment in full, including client consultation and aftercare. For Level 4 courses, after having completed the practical session at the Academy, students will be asked to complete four case studies and a 5,000-word assignment in order to complete the course. The HIFU Level 4 accredited course for Fat Removal and Skin Tightening carries 9 credits. Some of these credits can be transferred to other courses if the subject matter overlaps. For example, if you have studied the necessary Health and Safety legislation in the Beauty and Aesthetics sector, you will not need to cover this in the same amount of detail for any additional course which covers this same material.
