What HIFU Treats
HIFU is ideal for mild to moderate skin laxity in patients who want a firmer, more lifted look without a facelift. It is commonly used to tighten the jawline and jowls, lift the brow, firm the neck, and smooth crepey skin — restoring definition that softens with age.
How It Works
Focused ultrasound energy is delivered to precise depths beneath the surface, creating tiny points of thermal stimulation in the foundational layers of the skin. This triggers a natural healing and collagen-building response, so the skin gradually lifts and tightens over the weeks that follow — without affecting the surface.
What to Expect
A session takes roughly 30–60 minutes depending on the area. You may feel brief warmth or tiny energy pulses during treatment. Afterward you can return to normal activities right away — some patients have mild redness or tenderness that fades quickly. Collagen remodeling continues for 2–3 months, when results are most visible.
Pairs Well With
For a comprehensive lift, HIFU is often combined with a PDO thread lift for immediate contouring, or laser skin tightening for surface firming. We’ll recommend the best mix at your consultation.
