HIGH-INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND (HIFU)
What is a HIFU non-surgical facelift?
A Non-surgical facelift treatment uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to stimulate the deep structural support layers of the skin and creates lift by stimulating new collagen and elastins formation. This not only improves the texture and surface of the skin but can lift and tighten unwanted sagging areas on the face and neck.
The skin tightening and rejuvenation treatment creates more contour on the face and improves the jawline. This revolutionary skin-lifting treatment is safe and gentle for both men and women. The cosmetic treatment uses time-tested focused ultrasound energy to revitalise tissues in the face and neck.
What are the benefits of a HIFU facelift?
Increased elasticity of the skin and the ‘snap-back effect’ as texture, tone and skin quality is improved.
Tightens and chisels the jawline creating a lift to combating sagging areas – targets face & neck.
Can reduce unwanted pockets of fat, like jowls or submental fat (double chin).
Minimal side effects and instant results, which improve over 3-6 months.
No risks associated with cosmetic surgery and surgical facelifts.

How does a non-surgical facelift work?
This advanced technology can create a lift not only in the skin but also the deeper muscle layers, which was previously only reached by a surgical facelift.
The HIFU emits focused ultrasound energy to stimulate the skins deep support structures (epidermis, dermis and deep dermis layers).
By causing micro-trauma at the three different skin layers, the heat causes revitalisation and stimulates new collagen to form, in a single treatment.
HIFU also stimulates the growth of new collagen over time, to gradually strengthen and tone your skin from deep within.
​
What to expect from my treatment?
The treatment is straightforward and takes around 60-90 minutes. Your face will be mapped out targeting your areas of concern.
Ultrasound gel will then be applied, and the treatment will start. You will feel the heat and a mild tingling sensation as the device is moved over the skin.
It can feel like a hot elastic band on your skin, and should only be minimally uncomfortable.
There are no side effects to this treatment other than slight tenderness in the area treated for a week after. Rarely mild puffiness can be reported as new collagen is forming, but there is no down-time.
A patient can resume normal activities directly after the procedure. You will see results straight away after a single treatment, but then your face will continue to improve and evolve with tightening over the next few months.
​
How safe is high-intensity ultrasound?
HIFU is very safe, and the treatments are carried out by a highly trained aesthetician who has had 1:1 training with the manufactures of the device.
The equipment we use is an FDA (Food & Drug Administration) medical-grade device. In our opinion, this is the best in the industry offering the most painless and effective results.
There’s no downtime, no incisions, no scarring and no rest or recovery time needed. As the device is highly focused, it only treats the areas of concern, enhancing your natural beauty and features.
