At Fountain of Youth in Salisbury, I see women every day who want to look refreshed without changing who they are. If you’re aged 35 to 75 and feeling the effects of ageing, menopause, or weight loss, but don’t want surgery or injectables, this is where non-invasive technology really comes into its own.
That’s why I’ve invested in the Focus Dual® system – an advanced medical device that has two great modalities; RF Microneedling and HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound). These two treatments work in harmony to lift, tighten and improve skin tone, delivering safe, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
What Is the Focus Dual® System?
Focus Dual® brings together two gold-standard skin rejuvenation technologies in one device:
- Radiofrequency Microneedling (RFM) targets the upper to mid-dermis
- HIFU reaches deeper, tightening the SMAS layer – the same layer treated during surgical facelifts
By working at different skin depths, these treatments rebuild collagen and elastin from the inside out. That’s the key to restoring strength, tone and resilience in ageing skin.
What Can These Treatments Help With?
Using the Focus Dual® system, we treat a range of concerns including:
- Jowls and lower-face laxity
- Fine lines, wrinkles and crepey skin
- Double chins and sagging neck skin
- Loss of firmness of skin after menopause or weight loss
- Acne scarring and uneven skin texture
- Tired-looking skin that needs a lift
What Does HIFU Actually Do?
HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to gently heat the deep layers of the skin. This causes contraction of fibers and triggers a healing response in the SMAS layer – encouraging new collagen and tightening the skin’s underlying structure.
There are no needles and no surface damage. Most patients describe a warming or tingling feeling during the treatment. It’s comfortable, precise, and most importantly, effective.
If you’re looking to firm up your lower face, jawline, brow, or neck without altering your expressions, HIFU offers a sophisticated, needle-free alternative to more invasive procedures.
What Does RF Microneedling Do?
RF Microneedling works at a more superficial level, combining ultra-fine needles with radiofrequency heat to create micro-injuries that encourage the skin to regenerate.
Think of it as a reset button for dull or ageing skin. It helps to bolster up the skin to improve:
- Skin texture and tone
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Scarring (including post-acne marks)
- Early collagen breakdown from sun damage or hormonal shifts
At Fountain of Youth, we use the vacuum-assisted handpiece to ensure the treatment is evenly distributed, safe and effective for all skin tones.
Are These Treatments Safe?
Yes. The Focus Dual® system is Medical CE-certified, which means it meets rigorous safety standards used in clinical environments. Because we can adjust the depth, energy and treatment mode, it’s fully customisable for your skin concerns.
Treatments are well-tolerated with minimal recovery time. Most clients experience mild redness or slight swelling, which settles quickly.
How Soon Will I See Results?
You’ll likely see a visible improvement within a few weeks. But because collagen remodelling takes time, expect to see the full results develop over 3 to 6 months.
For long-lasting results, I usually recommend a personalised course of treatments followed by maintenance once or twice a year.
Is It Better Than Anti-Wrinkle Injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections work by relaxing facial muscles to soften dynamic lines – particularly on the forehead and around the eyes. HIFU and RF Microneedling, however, target structure and skin quality rather than expression. So no it won’t replace anti-wrinkle injections but aid the results.
If your concern is sagging, loss of definition or skin texture, these energy-based treatments are often a better fit. I regularly combine approaches for a more complete result – using anti-wrinkle injections for movement, Focus Dual® to rebuild the skin from within and targeted fillers to provide structure.
