What is a HIFU Facial?
HIFU uses Focused Ultrasound to target the layers of skin just below the surface. The ultrasound energy causes the tissue to heat up rapidly. Once the cells in the targeted area reach a certain temperature, they experience cellular damage, which in turn stimulates the cells to produce more collagen. Collagen is the protein that give your skin its structure.
As the collagen increases, this results in firmer skin with fewer wrinkles. As the high-frequency ultrasound beams are focused on a specific tissue site below the skin’s surface, there’s no damage to the upper layers of the skin and no immediate visible signs of treatment.
HIFU 3D is a fantastic treatment which will help you achieve firmer and tighter, lifted skin!

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a relatively new non-invasive cosmetic treatment for skin tightening that some consider and painless replacement for face lifts. It uses ultrasound energy to encourage the production of collagen, which results in firmer and tighter skin.
Who is best suited to this treatment?
HIFU may not be appropriate for everyone. The procedure works best on people older than 30 with mild-to-moderate skin laxity. People with sun damaged skin or a more loose skin may need multiple treatments before seeing results.
Who is not suitable for this treatment?
HIFU isn’t recommended for people with infections and open lesions at the target area, severe or cystic acne, and metallic implants in the treatment area.
HIFU for Face Procedure
You should remove all makeup and skin care products from the target area before treatment.
What to expect at your appointment:
The therapist would have had a consultation with you before treatment and explained the process.
The therapist clean the area to be treated.
They may apply a topical anesthetic cream before starting treatment.
Then applies an ultrasound gel.
The HIFU device is placed against your skin.
Ultrasound energy is then delivered to the target area in short pulses for roughly 30 to 90 minutes.
While the ultrasound energy is being applied, you might feel heat and tingling. You can take a pain medication if required, please ask.
You’re free to go home and resume your normal daily activities right away after the procedure.
To Summarise
HIFU is considered a very safe and effective noninvasive procedure for tightening the facial skin and reducing wrinkles.
Its key advantage over a surgical face lift are :
There are no incisions
No scarring
No required rest or recovery time.
HIFU is also more cost effective than a face lift.
Most people see full results around three months after their treatment.
If you’re looking for a treatment that is quick, painless, and noninvasive, HIFU is an excellent option compared to a surgical face lift. The procedure repeated in one to two years as the natural aging process takes over. If you’re a bit older with more skin sagging , HIFU may not be able to resolve all the skin issues.
