HIFU Lifting & Skin Tightening

HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) is a non-invasive lifting and tightening treatment that focuses ultrasound energy at precise depths beneath the skin — including the deeper support layer that surgeons address in a facelift — without breaking the surface. At each focal point the energy creates a tiny zone of controlled heating that contracts existing collagen immediately and, more importantly, stimulates the formation of fresh collagen and elastin…

The skin is cleansed and the treatment mapped before the ultrasound is delivered; a face session takes around forty-five to sixty minutes and most people feel brief heat or tingling at the focal points. A particular advantage is the lack of downtime — you can return to normal activities immediately, with perhaps slight redness or tenderness for a short while. Because the effect depends on new collagen forming, the lift develops gradually and is usually at…
