Understanding the concern

A softer jawline, a change in skin texture and reduced muscle tone can look similar in the mirror. They involve different tissues — so understanding the concern is the first part of choosing a treatment.

How Nu Sculpt works

Three energies. Three distinct jobs.

HIFU

4 MHz

Focused ultrasound

Targets: Dermis to SMAS · 1.5–4.5 mm

Ultrasound is concentrated at a fixed depth beneath the skin, creating tiny points of controlled heat while the surface is left intact. Interchangeable cartridges reach 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm — the last being the fascial (SMAS) layer that surgeons lift in a facelift — with a dedicated 2.0 mm head for the delicate eye area.

RF

6.78 MHz

Radiofrequency

Targets: Dermis · collagen

Radiofrequency warms the dermis to around 45 °C — the range at which collagen fibres contract and remodelling begins. It is the element aimed at laxity that comes from the skin itself: crepiness, fine lines and loss of firmness.

EMS

Microcurrent

Muscle stimulation

Targets: Facial muscle · tone

Gentle electrical pulses prompt the muscle beneath to contract in place (isometric contraction). It is aimed at laxity that comes from reduced muscle tone rather than the skin — whether it is included, and where, is guided by your anatomy.

The useful distinction

Each energy has a clear target.

Skin laxity is rarely a single-layer problem. Laxity that comes from the skin responds to collagen stimulation; laxity from reduced muscle tone is a different issue. Nu Sculpt addresses both, layer by layer: focused ultrasound at 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 mm, radiofrequency for the dermis, and muscle stimulation for tone where it is appropriate.

Tightening develops gradually as tissue responds, rather than appearing all at once. The exact programme follows an assessment of your face — not a fixed menu.

  • Non-surgical — no incisions and no injectables
  • Face, jawline and neck can be treated in one visit
  • Settings adjusted to your anatomy at every session
  • Clinician-led assessment before any treatment

Risks & Side Effects

All medical procedures carry some degree of risk. At Harley Street Aesthetics, our Consultant-led approach minimises complications. We believe in full transparency so you can make an informed decision.

Redness & swelling

Common

Common after treatment; may last 3–7 days before settling.

Tenderness

Common

Small areas of soreness along treated lines can persist for up to a month.

Altered sensation

Uncommon

Temporary tingling or numbness is uncommon and typically resolves.

Burns or scabbing

Rare

Rare. Risk is minimised by clinician-set energy, correct spacing and never over-treating an area.

Recovery Timeline

Recovery varies between individuals. Below is a general guide — your consultant will provide personalised aftercare instructions during your appointment.

Day 0

Treatment day

Warmth and some redness. Most people return to normal activities the same day.

Days 1–7

Settling

Redness or swelling settles over 3–7 days. Avoid very hot water, alcohol and smoking this week; use SPF daily.

Weeks 1–4

Protect the result

No sauna, massage, heavy make-up or sun exposure for 1–2 weeks; no injectables, laser or IPL for a month.

3 months+

Review

Longer-term review to assess your outcome and discuss maintenance.

Important Medical Information

All nu sculpt treatments at Harley Street Aesthetics are performed exclusively by GMC-registered Consultant Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons. Our practitioners hold FRCS, MRCP, and equivalent specialist qualifications.

Individual results may vary. The information provided on this page is for educational purposes and does not constitute medical advice. A full medical consultation is required before any treatment to assess your suitability, discuss risks, and set realistic expectations.

All before-and-after images shown are of real patients who have given consent for their images to be used. Results depicted are individual outcomes and are not guaranteed.

Nu Sculpt results develop gradually and vary between individuals; they are not a substitute for surgical lifting. A clinician will also check for conditions that need extra care, such as breastfeeding, clotting disorders, heart disease, keloid scarring, diabetes, epilepsy, cold sores, or current steroid or immunotherapy treatment.

Nu Sculpt questions

Nu Sculpt is a non-surgical facial treatment that combines three energies in one appointment: high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), radiofrequency (RF) and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). Each energy works on a different layer of the face, and the plan is set by a clinician after assessing your anatomy.

HIFU focuses 4 MHz ultrasound at fixed depths beneath the skin — 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm, the deepest reaching the SMAS layer. Nu Sculpt adds 6.78 MHz radiofrequency, which warms the dermis to around 45 °C where collagen sits, and microcurrent muscle stimulation, which prompts the underlying muscle to contract. The aim is to address the skin, the deeper supporting tissue and muscle tone together rather than one layer alone.

Our usual pathway is a course of three sessions around four weeks apart, followed by a longer-term review. Your clinician confirms the right number of sessions for you at consultation.

Change develops gradually as tissue responds and collagen remodels, typically over the weeks and months following a course. Results vary between individuals and are not a substitute for surgical lifting.

Most people describe warmth, tingling and brief deeper heat during the ultrasound passes. Redness and mild swelling are common afterwards and usually settle within 3–7 days; most patients return to normal activities the same day. For 1–2 weeks afterwards avoid saunas, massage, heavy make-up and sun exposure, and avoid injectables, laser or IPL for a month.

Nu Sculpt is not suitable during pregnancy, for under-18s, for people with a pacemaker or other electronic implant, metal implants in the treatment area, unhealed wounds, severe acne, or skin conditions that affect healing. Breastfeeding, clotting disorders, heart disease, keloid scarring, diabetes, epilepsy and steroid or immunotherapy treatment need individual assessment. Your full medical history is reviewed at consultation.

Nu Sculpt is currently £999 per session (usually £1,599), or £2,999 for a course of three sessions (usually £4,999). The consultation is complimentary, and interest-free finance may be available.

Nu Sculpt is available at Harley Street Aesthetics in London (10 Harley Street, W1G 9PF) and Glasgow (Ingram House, 227 Ingram Street, G1 1DA).
