HiFU Ultrasound Lifting

HiFU — High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound — works on a principle borrowed from medical ablation therapy: by focusing ultrasound waves at a precise point below the skin surface, the device deposits heat at a defined tissue depth without affecting the skin layers above or below the focal point. At 1.5 mm depth the device targets the superficial dermis and stimulates collagen; at 3 mm it treats the deep dermis; at 4.5 mm it reaches the SMAS, the fibromuscular…

At each focal point the ultrasound energy raises tissue temperature to approximately 60–70°C for a fraction of a second, creating a tiny zone of thermal coagulation. The immediate response is a mild inflammatory cascade that contracts existing collagen fibres — providing a subtle but measurable lift from the first session. Over the following two to three months, the body's wound-healing process builds new collagen and elastin in the treated zones,…

At Luna Klinik the session begins with a consultation to map the treatment zones — typically the lower face, jowl area, neck and submentum — and an explanation of the sensations to expect. A coupling gel is applied and the handpiece is moved systematically across the face in rows, delivering multiple energy lines. Patients typically feel warmth, vibration and brief sharp sensations as energy is deposited at depth; the SMAS shots (4.5 mm) are the most…
