HiFU Face Treatment

What is an HiFU Face Treatment?

HiFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, this facial treatment is a non-surgical facelift that uses radiofrequency (RF) to heat the tissue and stimulate collagen production. The treatment uses ultrasound waves to lift and tighten the skin. This is one of the new ultrasound techniques that employ high-frequency ultrasound beams on a specific tissue site to achieve the best results.

It has been shown that ultrasound energy boosts the production of new collagen and elastin to counteract the natural aging process our skin undergoes. This also helps improve skin elasticity and firmness and reduce wrinkles. This is one of the best non-invasive cosmetic procedures to care for our skin as the natural aging process takes over.

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is the best option to keep your skin young and beautiful

The heat generated by HiFU treatments helps increase face circulation, helping maintain healthy collagen levels and making the skin look radiant and youthful. The increased blood flow also helps reduce puffiness around the eyes and cheeks. Additionally, because this treatment cleanses pores deeply, it reduces sebum production—which helps prevent acne breakouts.

Every Hifu facial treatment uses ultrasound energy, which is used to lift and tighten the skin. After one session you will see results that can last for over a year with minimal downtime. It’s the easiest way to get a facial lifting, and one of the most popular cosmetic treatments to avoid a surgical facelift.

The Best Facial Skin Rejuvenation Alternative

HiFU is not a replacement for your regular skincare routine, but rather an added step that can be done as needed or every week. It usually works best on people that have moderate skin laxity, meaning people at least in their late twenties. By treating the facial and neck areas it is possible to achieve a contouring effect. This is the best treatment for a facial skin rejuvenation effect without getting under the knife!

All about the HIFU Treatment & Skin Tightening

HiFU is a facial treatment that uses high-frequency ultrasound to cleanse pores and improve skin texture. The treatment consists of three steps: cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration. An ultrasound gel is applied to treat the area with the HiFU device, which involves using high-frequency ultrasound to target the skin’s surface and improve the appearance of your skin.

The treatment works by loosening dead cells from the top layer of your skin tissue and then removing them with a tool that looks like a cotton swab.

Common questions about the benefits of HiFU

How does it work?
HiFU works by vibrating the skin with ultrasound waves that are too low to be heard by humans. This vibration creates heat in the treated area, which causes chemical reactions between water molecules in the skin and melanin (the chemical responsible for the darkening of the skin). The heat also encourages the release of toxins from pores so they can be washed away more easily by water. HIFU goes a little deeper to the SMAS layer – this is the layer a surgeon physically lifts in a facelift.
How easy is the recovery from the procedure?
After your procedure, you can resume your normal activities immediately, with no need for special post-treatment measures or appointments.
How many sessions should I get done?
Since every HiFU treatment is personalized, the sessions to achieve desired results will change for each patient. The area of the face being treated determines the outcome and frequency of treatment.

We recommend two HIFU treatments in the first year, six months apart, to achieve long-term results. After that, you can receive one treatment per year to maintain the treatment’s results. For tougher areas, you may require a few additional treatments 3 months after the initial treatment.

How effective is the treatment?
Due to its ability to lift and tighten skin, HiFU is a popular treatment for removing wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, mouth area, and neck area. With only one session, you can achieve benefits that will last for more than a year with minimal downtime. Because HiFU is a noninvasive skin tightening treatment, it is not effective when dealing with more severe skin sagging.

When it comes to severe skin sagging, HiFU may not be the right treatment for you, since it is a more preventative and early stages method. It is best recommended for mild to moderate skin laxity.

However, we have plenty of other treatments available or you can reach out to get more information on how we can help you achieve your goals!

Does the HiFU treatment hurt?
While you might experience slight discomfort, or a light prickly sensation in the treatment area, this treatment is not hurtful and it does not require any pain medication.
How invasive is the HiFU treatment?
Since this is not a surgical procedure, the facelift you get with a HIFU session is painless and requires minimal recovery time.

There is no damage to the upper layers of the skin and there is no scarring involved. Nonetheless, the HIFU procedure does reach a little deeper into the SMAS layer – this is the layer surgical procedures would usually lift, which is why it is so effective.

Do I need to take special precautions after a session?

Being a non-surgical skin tightening procedure, you can resume your normal activities immediately without following special post-treatment measures. While you may feel your skin a bit different for a few weeks, that is just a lasting effect of the ultraviolet energy used in the treatments.

Some patients experience mild side effects like swelling and slight redness. Mild redness may occur, which is not a cause for concern because it is common in people with sensitive skin. Minor bruising around the treated area has been reported by fewer patients during or immediately after treatment.

This usually lasts less than 24 hours, it may last longer, depending on your specific situation.

Can anyone have this treatment done?
This treatment is not suitable for people that have severe acne, sagging or lesions on the area to be treated, or metallic implants.

About your HiFu Facelift Session

The procedure is completely painless and takes only 15-20 minutes to perform. After just one session you will notice small improvements, and two weeks after your treatment, you will notice an improvement in the tone and texture of your skin.

Your skin will also feel firmer after each session, and fine lines and wrinkles will be less noticeable.

We recommend up to six treatments per year for optimal results. More damaged areas may require additional treatments for best results.
