HIFU and RF MicroNeedling
Radiofrequency Microneedling and High Intensity Focused Ultrasound come together to give maximum results to reduce the signs of ageing.
HIFU and RF MicroNeedling
Focus Dual Fusion offers a unique combination of the most sort after, clinically proven technologies for face and body treatments.
Radiofrequency Microneedling and High Intensity Focused Ultrasound come together to give maximum results to reduce the signs of ageing. Individually, they’re powerful. Combined? They’re unstoppable.
Targetting loss of firmness, fine lines, uneven tone, texture and more – all while triggering the skin’s own renewal processes deep below the surface. The result? Lifted contours. Smoother texture. Radiance that doesn’t need a filter.
HIFU – High Intensity Frequency Ultrasound
HIFU uses Focused Ultrasound to target the deep structural layers of the skin with heat, which it does without damaging the skin’s surface. Focus Dual HIFU is one of the few treatments that can reach the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS)—which was previously accessible only via surgery.
The result is a natural lift with virtually no downtime. The heat generated in the skin stimulates the cells to produce strong, new collagen and kick-start dormant collagen. As collagen production increases up to 12 weeks post treatment, this results in a more youthful and refreshed look.
Radiofrequency Microneedling
Focus Dual is a new treatment for achieving skin tightening, lifting, firming and contouring. Focus Dual uses a combination of radiofrequency and microneedling technology to create a controlled trauma which triggers the body’s healing response of collagen and elastin production. Both technologies used in this treatment stimulate collagen in different ways.
Microneedling creates micro-traumas in the skin, thereby stimulating the healing response, while radiofrequency uses heat to tighten the skin from the inside out. With Focus Dual you receive two treatments in one, meaning that you will achieve a stronger treatment and more effective results than when compared to having microneedling and radiofrequency treatments individually.
The result is firmer, tighter, smoother, more lifted and hydrated skin.

Combining both technologies into a course of treatments delivers amazing results. This is why we have tailor made VLC’s Focus Dual Fusion Packages.

HIFU Treatment
How does a HIFU facial treatment work?
This non-surgical face lift works on the SMAS layer deep below the skin, which is the area surgeons tighten for face and neck lifts. Rather than surgery, the Focus Dual harnesses ultrasound technology to radiate energy to the SMAS layer to tighten, lift and plump the skin.
What does the treatment feel like?
You may experience some mild heating or a slight tingling sensation during treatment, Patients describe this as moderate, acceptable and comfortable. As the energy is delivered into the lower layers, you will be able to return to your normal activity straight after treatment.
How many sessions will I need?
1 session usually delivery the lift and tightening of the skin desired. combining with RF Microneedling treatments are recommended for best results.
How long will it take for me to see results?
Results can sometimes be seen immediately, but the results get better and better up to 12 weeks post treatment as your collagen is renewed.
We expect results to last 1-2 years, but this can be dependent on lifestyle and maintenance.
Is there any downtime with a HIFU treatment?
Due to the non-invasive nature of HIFU treatments, there is virtually no downtime. You may experience slight redness following the treatment, and a small percentage of our clients do experience minor swelling, tingling or tenderness. These symptoms are mild and temporary.
You will be able to return to your normal activities straight away, and there are no special recovery measures needed. This is why HIFU has earned the name “lunchtime face lift”.
Radiofrequency Microneedling
How does Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling work?
Ultrafine needles penetrate the skin to different depths whilst simultaneously releasing radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the skin in a controlled manner, stimulating a wound healing response leading to the production of new collagen and elastin.
Our patients love how natural their skin looks and the results get better and better over time.
Can Radio frequency Microneedling (RFM) be used on patients of all ages?
Yes, younger skin that doesn’t yet require lifting and tightening can benefit from Microneedling without the RF, where the focus is now more on refining pores, even out texture and improving overall quality.
Older patients with laxity concerns benefit from the dual effect of the Microneedling with Radiofrequency. As the Focus Dual offers many different needle depths and intensity settings for RF, treatments can be easily customised for every different skin and level of concern.
A patch test is required 24 hours before this treatment.
How many sessions will I need?
Results can be seen after just one session. However, a minimum of 2 and up to 6 treatments, at 4-week intervals, deliver the best results, depending on the skin concern.
What results should I expect?
Most patients see an improvement 2 to 3 weeks after the first treatment. Results are natural and get better over time, peaking at 12 weeks following the final treatment.
Will there be downtime?
There is virtually no downtime. A slight swelling and redness are present immediately post-treatment and should subside over 24 hours.

I had two treatments today at the Vale Laser Clinic in St Athan, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The Buccal Massage was amazing highly recommend it and the Skin Tag removal was quick and painless. From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel welcome and comfortable. The clinic is beautiful, spotless, and has such a relaxing atmosphere. Both treatments were carried out with great care and professionalism, and everything was explained clearly throughout. I felt completely at ease, and the results have exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail and genuine care for clients really set this clinic apart. I would recommend this clinic to anyone looking for high-quality treatments and exceptional service. I'll definitely be returning for more treatments in the future. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
Emma is a very personable, knowledgeable profesional. The environment is fashionable with all the very latest technology to give excellent results. Wouldn’t go any where else.
A very pleasant experience today. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but everything was explained to me, which made me feel comfortable and relaxed...
Emma was lovely. So pleased to be finding a solution to something that’s bothered me for years! Thank you to Esther too!
Excellent service for long standing veruca problem, Emma is very personable and actually put me at ease even though she didn't sugar coat what to expect with the procedure, she was patient when I needed a break and was ready to proceed when I was ready. She is obviously very experienced. Also gave me excellent aftercare advice. Without a doubt I will be recommending to others. See you next month.
Charley is great - happy and chatty and did a great job on my brows
Great advice, Emma took her time to explain. Everything and provide a safe plan for treatment
Always a pleasure visiting Vale Laser clinic. I have been using the motus pro hair laser which is top of the range piece of kit. I have noticed a reduction in hair growth. I feel in safe hands with Emma and appreciate the advice and care given. The loyalty points system is a great bonus. Thank you for my Environ facial cleanser :). I would certainly recommend Vale Laser Clinic.
