Skin Tightening - Hifu
HIFU is a revolutionary treatment that targets deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and restore firmness without needles, downtime, or invasive procedures.
Ideal for clients looking to refresh their appearance naturally, HIFU face lifting creates subtle yet noticeable improvement over time, restoring definition and elasticity where you feel it’s needed most.
What is HIFU?
HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. This innovative treatment uses focused ultrasound energy to reach the SMAS layer—the same deep tissue layer addressed in surgical facelifts.
Instead of breaking the surface, HIFU sends energy deep into the skin to activate collagen and elastin production.
By working from the inside out, HIFU improves skin firmness and restores structure gradually, making it perfect for clients who want visible results without surgery or injectables.
How does the treatment work?
During the session, your practitioner applies focused ultrasound energy in short bursts at specific depths in the skin. These micro-pulses create controlled thermal points that trigger your body’s healing response, boosting collagen and elastin naturally.
Unlike other treatments, HIFU reaches multiple layers of tissue, including the muscle layer, without harming the surface. As collagen builds, skin lifts and tightens, resulting in a more youthful, refined appearance.
Treatment areas commonly include the:
- Face (cheeks, jawline, and forehead)
- Neck
- Decolletage
Each session lasts 45 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the area treated. While some clients feel slight warmth or tingling, most find the treatment comfortable. There’s no downtime, and you can return to your usual activities straight after.
Benefits of HIFU:
- Safe and effective, non-surgical procedure with no recovery time
- Enhance skin collagen in order to maintains the skin’s firmness and tightness
- Enhance skin elastin to maintain the skin’s elasticity
- Improve skin thickness, tightening and firming
What to expect after treatment:
You may experience mild redness, slight swelling, or a tingling sensation in the treated area. These effects usually resolve within a few hours, to a few days.
When to expect results:
You won’t see immediate changes, but the results build over time. Most people notice visible improvement in 8 to 12 weeks as new collagen forms. However, some clients start to feel skin tightening within a few days.
For many, one session is enough. Others choose to have a course of 3 sessions. Since your body continues to produce collagen after each session, the effects can last up to 18 months.
