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.

This clinic is chefs kiss & Emma was absolutely amazing. So friendly and so knowledgeable, she explained everything so clearly and really put me at ease with what to expect. Thankfully she was able to change my appointment at the last minute so I was still able to make it. Nothing was too much, it felt more like meeting a friend for a coffee than having a tattoo removed! Looking forward to my next appointment and seeing the progress! Thank you Vale Laser Clinic
I have been meaning to visit the clinic for some time and was pleasantly surprised how friendly efficient and welcoming the staff were and also their knowledge of the products and treatment I needed. Well worth a visit, thank you
First visit today to have a skin tags removed very friendly explains everything will highly recommend and already planning on going back for more x
I had a laser hair removal course with Sadia. I’ve now had six laser hair removal sessions and I’m really happy with the results so far. I’ve definitely noticed a reduction in hair growth, especially on my face, and it’s also helped reduce the breakouts and irritation I used to get. I’ve always felt comfortable during my appointments, and everything has been explained really well. I also really appreciated the honesty about needing occasional top-up sessions in the future rather than being promised unrealistic results.

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!

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.

Looking forward to the treatment next week, and to trying out the new skincare! Thank you!

Absolutely amazing experience! I had some spider veins on my face that had been bothering me for months, and they were completely gone literally within seconds. Emma was fantastic—professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel totally at ease throughout the treatment. She knew exactly what was needed to address the blemishes, and the results exceeded my expectations. I’m already looking forward to coming back later this year for one of their skin rejuvenation treatments!
Great session once again! Emma is fabulous - very patient when listening & responding to any queries regarding the treatment. Thankyou!
5 star treatment. The treatment is astounding in its effectiveness. I would happily recommend you to anyone looking for a friendly, professional therapist. Thank you
Emma provided immediate treatment to relieve a very irritating problem. Cannot be faulted.
The process was explained clearly, and I was given plenty of opportunities to ask questions at the time and explained how to ask questions later on too. Patch test completed and first proper appointment booked in and all within 20 minutes.
My friend, Claire H, and I both had calming and rejuvenating LED facials at the Vale Laser Clinic 7th May 2025; from the outset we were met with highly professional, kind and courteous customer service from a highly trained therapist. Claire, who lives nearby had no idea before her impromptu visit, which I arranged on her behalf, just how large range of treatment options are at the Vale Laser Clinic. I have no doubt tgat after such a positive calming and rejuvenating experience that my friend will become a regular customer like 3 generations in my family already are, and have been for many years. I highly recommend all the therapists who work with Emma at the Vale Laser Clinic; this is a “hidden gem of tranquility and beauty therapy nestled in one of the most gorgeous communities in St. Athan, Vale of Glamorgan.” Very many thanjs/diolch in fawr go to Emma and her entire professiinal team of lovely ladies.
Excellent service, Emma explained the procedure in detail and the aftercare
