HIFU Skin Lifting & Tightening
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound | Non-Surgical Rejuvenation
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is an advanced, non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to lift, firm and tighten the skin by stimulating deep collagen production — without surgery, needles or downtime.
Unlike many aesthetic treatments that work only on the surface, HIFU targets the deep structural layers of the skin, including the SMAS layer (the same foundational layer addressed during surgical facelifts), making it one of the most effective non-surgical lifting treatments available
How HIFU works (The science, simplified)
HIFU delivers precise ultrasound energy at controlled depths beneath the skin. These focused energy points gently heat the tissue, triggering a natural wound-healing response.
This process:
- Causes immediate collagen contraction
- Stimulates new collagen and elastin formation
- Gradually lifts and tightens skin over time
- Improves skin firmness and facial definition
Because the energy bypasses the skin’s surface, there is minimal disruption to the epidermis while powerful remodelling occurs underneath

What Does HIFU Feel Like?
Most clients describe the sensation as brief heat, tingling or a prickling feeling as energy is delivered beneath the skin. Sensation varies depending on treatment depth and area, but treatments are generally well tolerated and quick.
When Will I See Results?
HIFU results occur in two phases:
- Immediate collagen contraction — subtle firmness may be noticed within days
- Progressive collagen regeneration — visible lifting and tightening develops over 8–12 weeks, with continued improvement for up to 6 months
Results can last 12–18 months, with maintenance treatments recommended as needed.
Is HIFU safe?
Yes. HIFU is a clinically proven, non-invasive technology used worldwide. Treatments are performed following strict safety protocols and suitability screening.
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients achieve excellent results with one full treatment. Some may benefit from a second session or targeted maintenance depending on skin laxity and goals
Is there downtime?
There is little to no downtime. Mild redness, tenderness or swelling may occur and typically resolves within hours to days.
Who is HIFU best suited for?
HIFU is ideal for clients with mild to moderate skin laxity, or those wanting to prevent further sagging. A consultation is essential to determine suitability.
Can HIFU be combined with other treatments?
Yes. HIFU pairs beautifully with skin needling, IPL, Plasma and cosmecuitcial skincare programs for enhanced and longer-lasting results.
