HIFU is a safe, non-surgical treatment used to tighten and lift the skin. It uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, helping the skin become firmer and more youthful over time. The surface of the skin is not damaged during the procedure.

How Does HIFU Work?

HIFU delivers ultrasound energy deep into the skin where collagen is produced. This energy gently heats the tissue, encouraging the skin to repair itself and create new collagen. As a result, the skin gradually becomes tighter and more lifted.

What Can HIFU Treat?

HIFU is suitable for people with mild to moderate skin looseness and can help with:

• Lifting and tightening the face and neck
• Improving the jawline and cheeks
• Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
• Improving skin firmness and texture
• Non-surgical body tightening in selected areas

What Happens During the Treatment?

The treatment usually takes 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated. A gel is applied to the skin, and the HIFU device is moved over the area. You may feel warmth, tingling, or mild discomfort during the procedure, but it is generally well tolerated. No injections or cuts are involved.

After the Treatment

There is little to no downtime. Some patients may notice mild redness, swelling, or tenderness, which usually settles within a few hours to a few days. You can return to normal activities immediately after the treatment.

When Will I See Results?

Results develop gradually over 2 to 3 months as new collagen forms. Improvement may continue for up to 6 months. The results typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on individual skin condition and aging.

Is HIFU Safe?

HIFU is a well-established and safe treatment when performed by trained medical professionals. It may not be suitable for everyone, including pregnant women, patients with active skin infections, open wounds, or certain medical implants. A consultation with the doctor is required to determine if HIFU is right for you.

Summary

HIFU is an effective, non-invasive option for skin lifting and tightening with natural-looking results and no recovery time. A medical consultation is important to ensure safe treatment and realistic expectations.
