ABOUT HIFU ULTRASOUND TREATMENT

WHAT IT IS

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to tighten, lift, and rejuvenate the skin. It uses focused ultrasound energy to target the deep layers of the skin, stimulating the body’s natural collagen production without the need for surgery or downtime.

HIFU is commonly used for:

  • Lifting the brow, cheeks, and jowls

  • Tightening the neck and décolletage

  • Improving skin texture and elasticity

  • Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

HOW IT WORKS

HIFU delivers precise ultrasound energy to the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer, the same layer tightened in surgical facelifts. This energy causes controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body’s healing response, leading to new collagen and elastin formation over time.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Non-surgical and non-invasive

  • No anesthesia, incisions, or recovery time

  • Gradual, natural-looking results

  • Long-lasting collagen stimulation (results can last 12–18 months)

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Most patients experience mild discomfort, described as a tingling or warm sensation. Pain levels vary depending on the treatment area and individual sensitivity, but discomfort is generally minimal and temporary.

  • A typical HIFU treatment lasts between 30–90 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.

  • Some patients notice an immediate tightening effect, but the full results develop gradually over 2–3 months as new collagen is produced.

  • Most patients achieve desired results with one session, though additional treatments may be recommended for optimal lifting or maintenance.

  • Results typically last 12–18 months, after which maintenance sessions may be recommended.

  • No downtime is required. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. Mild redness or slight swelling may occur but usually resolves within a few hours.

  • HIFU is ideal for people in their 30s to 60s experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity. It is not suitable for individuals with severe skin sagging or very thin skin.

  • HIFU is considered very safe. Side effects are rare but may include temporary redness, swelling, tingling, or tenderness in the treated area.
