HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) – Non-Surgical Skin Lifting and Tightening

What Is HIFU?

HIFU uses ultrasound energy to target the deeper structural layers of the skin, including the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS), which is typically addressed in surgical facelifts.

By delivering thermal energy to these layers, HIFU initiates a natural healing response, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin over time—all without affecting the surface layer.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

HIFU is a versatile treatment that can be used on several areas of the face and body, including:

• Forehead and brows
• Cheeks and jawline
• Chin and under the chin (double chin)
• Neck and décolletage
• Abdomen or arms (for skin tightening in some cases)

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for HIFU if you:

• Have mild to moderate skin laxity
• Notice sagging around your cheeks, jawline, or neck
• Want to improve facial contours without surgery
• Prefer a gradual, natural-looking result
• Are in good overall health and not ready for invasive treatments

Key Benefits of HIFU

• Lifts and firms the skin naturally
• Stimulates deep collagen production
• Non-surgical and non-invasive
• No incisions, no downtime
• Safe for all skin types
• Can be done in under an hour

What to Expect During Treatment

Your provider will begin by cleansing the skin and applying a layer of ultrasound gel.

Using a handheld HIFU device, focused ultrasound energy is delivered into precise depths of the skin. You may feel a slight warming or tingling sensation as the energy is applied, but discomfort is minimal for most patients.

The treatment typically takes between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.

Aftercare and Recovery

HIFU has no downtime, which means you can return to your usual activities immediately.

Mild redness, swelling, or tingling may be present for a few hours but will subside quickly. You won’t need any special aftercare other than staying hydrated and using gentle skincare.

When Will I See Results?

Some patients may see subtle improvement right after treatment, but the full lifting and tightening effects develop gradually over 2 to 3 months.

Results typically last between 12 to 18 months, depending on your age, skin condition, and lifestyle.

Is HIFU Safe?

HIFU is a safe and widely used treatment with minimal risk. Side effects are rare and typically mild.

These may include slight swelling, temporary redness, or tenderness in the treated areas—all of which resolve on their own within a few days.

HIFU vs. Ultherapy

Both HIFU and Ultherapy use ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production, but Ultherapy uses real-time imaging and is FDA-cleared.

HIFU, while similar, may vary depending on the device used. Both are excellent non-surgical options for lifting and firming the skin.
