HIFU Skin Tightening

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to heat tissue at precise depths beneath the skin surface, stimulating the body's natural collagen production and remodelling process. At DermAlly, HIFU is offered as a non-surgical alternative to face-lifting procedures, particularly suited to patients experiencing early to moderate facial laxity, jowling, or skin sagging around the…

Unlike surface-level laser or radiofrequency treatments, HIFU bypasses the outer skin layers entirely and delivers energy directly to the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) — the same tissue plane targeted in surgical facelifts. By heating this layer to a therapeutic temperature of approximately 65–70°C, the treatment triggers immediate collagen contraction and initiates a prolonged regenerative response that continues over 3–6 months as new…

At DermAlly, HIFU protocols are personalised based on the patient's anatomical assessment, skin laxity grading, and aesthetic goals. The treatment transducer is methodically moved across the treatment zones, delivering focused ultrasound at different depth cartridges (typically 1.5mm, 3mm, and 4.5mm) to address tissue at the epidermal, dermal, and SMAS levels simultaneously. The procedure takes approximately 60–90 minutes for a full face and neck…
