HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to heat deep structural layers of the skin (including the SMAS layer, which surgeons pull during a face lift). This thermal energy triggers a natural healing response, causing the immediate tightening of collagen fibers and initiating the gradual production of fresh, tight collagen. It is highly effective for lifting brows, tightening jowls, and firming the neck.
Suitable for
Suitable for adults following a personalised consultation and clinical assessment of their medical history, treatment goals and individual concerns.
May not be suitable for
This treatment may not be suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active infection, relevant medical conditions, allergies to treatment ingredients, impaired healing, or any condition identified during your consultation.
Possible risks & side effects
Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, sensitivity or discomfort may occur. Your practitioner will explain treatment-specific risks before proceeding.
Consultation
A consultation is required to assess suitability, discuss alternatives and confirm whether treatment is clinically appropriate before proceeding.
Results
Results vary between individuals and cannot be guaranteed. Outcomes depend on individual factors, treatment plan and aftercare.
Some initial tightening is felt immediately, but the main lifting and contouring results develop gradually over 2 to 3 months as new collagen is formed.
