HIFU Face & Neck Lift (Sonoqueen)

Sonoqueen HIFU uses focused ultrasound to deliver heat into deeper layers of the skin and the supporting SMAS, prompting collagen renewal for a gradual non-surgical lift. It is well suited to early sagging of the cheeks, jawline and neck, and can also firm the eye area and selected body zones. Derma Clinic prices full-face and individual areas separately, and results develop over the months after a single session.

HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) with the Sonoqueen device focuses ultrasound energy at precise depths beneath the skin's surface, including the deeper SMAS layer that surgeons tighten in a facelift. The focused energy creates tiny points of controlled heating that prompt the tissue to contract and stimulate a longer-term collagen-renewal response, producing a gradual tightening and subtle lifting effect without cutting the skin. At Derma Clinic the area is cleansed and mapped before treatment, which takes around forty-five to sixty minutes for the face. Because the energy is delivered below the surface, the skin looks largely normal afterwards — some redness, mild swelling or tenderness can occur but usually settles quickly, and most people return to normal activities the same day. Results are not immediate: collagen remodelling unfolds over roughly two to three months, with the effect typically lasting around a year before a maintenance session may be considered. HIFU is best suited to mild-to-moderate laxity — softening early jowls, firming the jawline and neck and lifting the brow or eye area — rather than significant sagging that may be better addressed surgically. The clinic also offers HIFU for body areas such as the abdomen, knees and thighs. Suitability and realistic expectations are discussed at consultation, and the treatment is avoided in pregnancy and over certain implants or active skin problems.
