What is it?
HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound — an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses precise ultrasound energy to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin from deep within.
Unlike lasers or surgery, HIFU targets the SMAS layer (the same layer addressed during a facelift) to stimulate natural collagen and elastin production.
How does it work?
Ultrasound energy is focused beneath the skin’s surface at multiple depths, gently heating the tissue to trigger a natural regeneration process.
This stimulates collagen growth over the next 8–12 weeks, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more lifted skin — all without downtime.
✨ You’ll see results gradually, with continued improvement over several months as your body produces new collagen.
Benefits of HIFU
-
Non-surgical & non-invasive
-
Natural collagen stimulation
-
Long-lasting skin tightening
-
Lifts sagging cheeks, jawline & neck
-
Smooths wrinkles & fine lines

No downtime or recovery period
What to expect
Each session takes between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area treated.
You may feel gentle warmth or tingling as the ultrasound energy works beneath your skin - this is completely normal and a sign of collagen activation.
There is no downtime - you can return to normal activities immediately.
Mild redness or tenderness may occur but typically resolves within a few hours.
Results & Longevity
Results appear gradually within 4–6 weeks, with the best outcome visible around 12 weeks post-treatment.
Most clients enjoy noticeable tightening and lifting that lasts 12–18 months, depending on skin condition and lifestyle.
