HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound).
This new technology reaches deeper beneath the skin than previous methods, stimulating your body’s collagen stores to regenerate in a natural way. Rigorously tested and clinically proven, it’s the most effective way to perform a non-invasive lifting procedure at home with real, lasting long term benefits.
How HIFU technology works
HIFU uses the power of Ultrasound to counter the effect of gravity and skin ageing to safely lift and tighten skin. Ultrasound is a form of energy that is significantly different than light such as IPL and Lasers or Electrical (Radio-Frequency) energy.
HIFU protects the skin surface, precisely penetrates and treats beyond the dermis and foundation layers, where structural weakening starts.
- As HIFU treats deeper layers of the skin, it is not as effective for surface skin issues such as acne or sun blemishes.
- While the results are not as dramatic as a facelift, it’s a much safer alternative for those who prefer less invasive methods.
- After treatment, skin may appear flushed, but redness, slight swelling or tingling should disappear within a few hours.
- Though a safe treatment, HIFU utilises deep penetrating sound energy. Thus it’s not the best treatment for those who are sensitive, such pregnant women or patients with heart disease.
FUNCTIONALITY OF HIFU:
Going Deeper with HIFU
1.5mm – Targets the epidermis of the skin to refine pores, improve skin tone, and reduce fine lines.
2mm – Effectively reduces fine lines and early wrinkles, with a focus on improving the skin’s texture, as well as the contour of the skin surrounding the outer eye area.
3mm – Targets the tissues beneath the epidermis, stimulating and regenerating the skin’s core make up by directly penetrating into the connective tissues made up of mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, strengthening the skin’s overall firming properties.
4.5mm – Directly accesses the SMAS fascia layer through heat to compress and tighten the foundation layer of the skin, which is made of muscle.
6mm – Dissolves the fat deposits underneath the shallow layers of the skin to bring out the face’s contour through firming.
9mm – Specifically targets stubborn fat deposits
13mm – Strengthens skin adhesion through lipolysis (which is the breakdown of fats and other lipids by hydrolysis to release fatty acids) to increase collagen production, and stimulate the layer deep beneath the skin made of muscle.

Yes, HIFU is contraindicated if you have the following:
- Open wounds or lesions on the face and/or neck.

- Heart Conditions.
- An active systemic or local skin disease that may alter wound healing.
- Herpes.
How is HIFU Different
Utilising sound energy, HIFU goes deeper into the skin when compared to other non-invasive cosmetic devices using lasers. As lasers use light energy, they fail to reach down into the deeper layers of skin; whereas HIFU focuses ultrasound energy deep beneath the skin at the right temperature to regenerate collagen, thereby kickstarting a natural process called neocollagenesis that makes new collagen. Laser treatments only work on superficial skin, as they can’t reach deeper at the right temperature. Lasers, on the other hand, address surface skin damage, fine lines and wrinkles, along with acne scars, blemishes, spots from aging, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage.
The highly focused ultrasound activates and accelerates the body’s own healing process in the face, neck and décolletage areas and thereby helps sagging skin to tighten itself and become more firm. This method requires no creams, no artificial filler products or toxins. It relies solely on the body’s natural regenerative capacity. Since the treatment targets deeper layers, the surface of the skin is not affected.
All the other available modes of ant aging treatments like:
Chemical peels, RF , Microneedling, MNRF, IPL skin rejuvenation, Laser skin resurfacing with ablative laser etc are having lot of side effects such as chemical burns, PIH, Needle track marks, Scaring, Sensitivity . And also those tt requires more down time. Hence HIFU is much safer and superior to all othe anti aging tt.
Benefits of HIFU
- Non-invasive: HIFU is a non-invasive treatment, which means that it does not require incisions or surgery. This reduces the risk of complications and shortens the recovery time.
- Safe: HIFU is a safe treatment when performed by a qualified healthcare professional. The procedure does not use radiation, which reduces the risk of side effects.
- Effective: HIFU is an effective treatment for skin tightening, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and lifting sagging skin. The results are long-lasting and can be seen immediately after treatment.
- Stimulates collagen production: HIFU stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that keeps the skin firm and supple. Increased collagen production can improve the overall appearance and health of the skin.
- Versatile: HIFU can be used to treat various areas of the body, including the face, neck, and chest.
- Quick: HIFU treatment typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes, making it a quick and convenient treatment option.
Treatment Areas
- Full Face & Neck
- Décolleté
- Undereyes and crowfeet
- Tummy
- Bra Fat
- Arms
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Legs
Short & long term results
- 20% of the result can be seen immediately after the treatment.
- Over the next 3-6 months, the wound-healing response stimulates long-term tissue and leads to further lifting and tightening, the final results are visible.
- Rigorous studies have shown that results can last for years after initial treatment.
HIFU is a clinically-proven, safe, cost-effective treatment compared to invasive facelifts, eliminating the need for anaesthesia or sedation and downtime. The ideal candidate is anyone who is interested in age reversal. If you notice any sagging or lost suppleness in your skin, HIFU can offer the best solution. It has been known to be used on thighs, abdomen and arms as well, a truly versatile treatment on a cellular level.
