High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, commonly known as HIFU, is a non-invasive treatment that delivers concentrated ultrasound energy beneath the skin. The controlled heat stimulates natural collagen production to gradually tighten, firm, and lift the treated areas.
Suitable for mild to moderate skin laxity. A consultation is recommended before treatment.
How it tightens and lifts your skin
Focused ultrasound energy reaches deeper supporting layers of the skin while leaving the surface unharmed.
What you’ll notice
HIFU may be suitable for mild to moderate skin laxity, reduced jawline definition, jowls, loose neck skin, drooping brows, fine lines, and crepey skin across the décolleté. It is designed for clients seeking gradual lifting and tightening without surgery.
Before
After
Gradual lifting and improved firmness
HIFU stimulates natural collagen renewal beneath the skin. Improvements develop gradually as the treated tissue becomes firmer, smoother, and more supported.
Treatment areas
Focused ultrasound energy can be used on selected areas of the face, neck, and upper chest.
Before your treatment
Inform your practitioner about recent injectables, facial procedures, active skin conditions, medications, pregnancy, implanted medical devices, or other health concerns before treatment.
After your treatment
Gentle aftercare helps keep the treated skin comfortable while natural collagen renewal begins.
What to expect
Some clients notice an initial tightening effect after treatment. More visible improvement generally develops gradually over the following weeks as fresh collagen forms. Results and treatment timelines vary.
Common questions
What is HIFU?
HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. It delivers concentrated ultrasound energy beneath the skin to create controlled heat and stimulate natural collagen renewal.
Is HIFU the same as diagnostic ultrasound?
No. Diagnostic ultrasound uses sound waves to produce medical images. HIFU uses focused, higher-energy ultrasound to target specific tissue depths for cosmetic skin tightening.
Does HIFU hurt?
Clients may experience warmth, tingling, or brief prickling sensations as the energy is delivered. Treatment comfort varies by area and individual sensitivity.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is generally minimal. Temporary redness, tenderness, tingling, or mild swelling may occur after treatment.
When will I see results?
Some initial tightening may be noticeable after treatment. More visible improvement develops gradually as new collagen forms over the following weeks.
How many treatments will I need?
The recommended number of sessions depends on the treatment area, degree of skin laxity, age, skin condition, and desired results.
What areas can be treated?
HIFU may be used on selected areas of the face, brows, cheeks, jawline, chin, neck, and décolleté.
Who should avoid HIFU?
HIFU may not be suitable during pregnancy or for clients with active infections, open wounds, certain implanted devices, or specific medical conditions. A consultation is required.
