What Is HIFU?
HIFU, short for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, is a revolutionary treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to heat the skin’s deeper layers. This stimulates collagen regeneration and tightens the tissue, delivering a lifting effect that continues to improve over time. It is often referred to as a “non-surgical facelift” due to its powerful skin-firming results.
HIFU Can Help With:
-
Lifting and tightening the face, neck, and décolletage
-
Reducing sagging skin, including jowls and jawline
-
Softening fine lines and wrinkles
-
Enhancing brow lift and eye area firmness
-
Improving skin elasticity and texture
-
Contouring and defining facial features
-
Reducing a double chin
-
Treating mild to moderate skin laxity on the body (arms, abdomen, thighs, knees)
By targeting deep layers of the skin with focused ultrasound energy, HIFU stimulates collagen production, resulting in a firmer, more lifted, and youthful appearance — all without surgery or downtime.
How HIFU Works
During the treatment, ultrasound energy is precisely delivered to target depths beneath the skin. This energy heats the tissue, triggering a natural healing response that boosts collagen and elastin production. The result is tighter, firmer skin over the following 8–12 weeks, with results lasting up to 12–18 months.

Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
How long will a HIFU treatment take?
A full face treatment and neck takes 2 hours and a partial face or eye lift treatment can take around 30 minutes. Body treatments will sit somewhere within that range.
How long do the effects of HIFU last?
Scientific studies and clinical trials have shown that skin and tissue tightening continues for up to three months after a HIFU treatment. Subsequent remodelling, re-orientation of collagen bundles, and the formation of new collagen are also achieved over months after treatment.
How long till I see results?
- Immediate Effects: Some individuals may experience immediate tightening and lifting of the skin following a HiFu treatment session. However, these immediate effects are often temporary and may be more noticeable immediately after the treatment but fade over the next few days.
- Early Results (Weeks 1-4): In the weeks following the treatment, many patients start to notice subtle improvements in their skin texture and tone. Some may experience a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, as well as a slight tightening of the skin. However, these changes are usually gradual and may continue to improve over time.
- Progressive Improvement (Months 2-3): By the second to third month after treatment, patients typically see more significant improvements in their skin’s appearance. Collagen production continues to increase, leading to further skin tightening, smoother texture, and reduced wrinkles. Many patients report that their skin looks more youthful and radiant than before the treatment.
- Optimal Results (Months 3-6): The full benefits of HiFu skin treatments are usually seen within three to six months after the final treatment session. At this point, collagen remodeling is well underway, and the skin continues to improve in firmness, elasticity, and overall quality. Patients may notice a significant reduction in wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin, with results lasting for up to a year or longer.
- Maintenance and Follow-Up: To maintain the results of HiFu skin treatments, patients may opt for periodic maintenance sessions every 12 to 18 months, depending on their individual needs and preferences. Additionally, practicing good skincare habits, including sun protection and moisturization, can help prolong the results of HiFu treatments.
What depths does it target?
It can also target different depths – 4.5mm, 3mm, 2mm and 1.5mm – to produce a more tailored effect according to your needs.
How long will I need to recover?
After your treatment, you can resume your normal activities immediately and there are no special measures that you have to take.
Is HiFU painful?
HiFu can be painful. The pain varies depending on each persons pain threshold. Our technicians are trained to provide you with the best possible results and comfort.
It’s important to note that individual results may vary, and some patients may experience more pronounced improvements than others. Consulting with a qualified skincare professional or dermatologist can provide personalized recommendations and expectations based on your unique skin type and concerns. Additionally, following post-treatment care instructions and adhering to any recommended skincare regimens can optimize the results of HiFu skin treatments.
