HIFU

Looking for a facelift without surgery? HIFU uses ultrasound energy to reach deep into the layers of your skin, triggering a boost in your own natural collagen and elastin production. This results in tighter and smoother skin with no cuts or scars.

Key Benefits of HIFU

DEEP TARGETED LIFTING

The only non-invasive treatment that reaches the deeper SMAS layer of skin to achieve significant structural lifting

PROGRESSIVE & LONG-LASTING

While you may see an initial tightening, the results keep improving gradually over 12-18 months with just 1-2 sessions

NATURAL COLLAGEN REBIRTH

Boost your body’s own production of collagen and elastin for visibly firmer, smoother skin that looks natural

NON-SURGICAL & SAFE

No needles, no scars so you can achieve the facelift effect without surgery and return to normal daily activities

How it works

HIFU uses focused ultrasound waves to deliver thermal energy at specific deeper layers of the skin, the same ones that are treated during conventional facelift surgery. This heat causes controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing response, hence increasing collagen and elastin production in the targeted areas.

Over the next  2-3 months, the newly produced collagen fibers strengthen and reorganise, resulting in visible skin tightening and improved elasticity. This gradual process ensures natural-looking, long-lasting results. The collagen regeneration process continues for up to 6 months post-treatment, with results lasting 12-18 months.

FAQs

HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) is a treatment designed to lift and tighten your skin. By using precise ultrasound energy to gently warm the deeper layers of your skin, it works in harmony with your body to stimulate your own natural collagen and elastin production. The result is a refreshed, youthful, and naturally lifted appearance that develops from within, without any needles or scars. Enjoy gradual improvements that enhance your features without ever looking artificial or "overdone."
This treatment is perfect for smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines, as well as tightening loose or saggy skin. It can also help contour the double chin and jawline for a sharper profile. There is zero downtime so you can return to your normal daily activities immediately after your session.
The treatment typically feels like a warm, tingling or prickling sensation as ultrasound energy is delivered. While generally well-tolerated, some describe a mild electric-shock type feeling, similar to small elastic bands snapping on the skin. You may also feel some warmth, which is a good sign that the collagen-boosting process is occurring.
We are able to adjust the energy level to ensure you are comfortable during treatment.
Immediately after the treatment, you may experience mild redness or swelling, which will gradually resolve itself over a few hours.
The areas that we treat are:
- Lower face - to soften facial wrinkles and nasolabial folds (smile/laugh lines)
- Chin & jawline - to reduce the appearance of a double chin, lift sagging jowls and create more of a V-shape
- Neck - to tighten loose neck skin (turkey neck)
While some clients see an immediate lift, the real magic happens over the following 2-3 months as your new collagen strengthens and tightens the skin tissue. The collagen regeneration process continues for up to 6 months post-treatment, with results lasting 12-18 months.
We generally recommend 1-2 sessions, spaced about 3 months apart to achieve optimal results.
Annual maintenance treatments can also help sustain long-term results.
Tips to prepare for your appointment:
- 4 weeks prior: Avoid injectables, fillers, botox, chemical peels, and laser treatments in the area
- 1-2 days prior: Avoid alcohol, caffeine and anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin or ibuprofen, which can increase the risk of bruising
- Cleanse your face thoroughly on the treatment day, removing all makeup, lotions, and creams
- Ensure you do not have a fever, active cold sores, or infections on the treatment area
