What is HIFU?
The HIFU face treatment works by sending highly focused acoustic energy below the skin’s surface to cause cellular friction within the molecules, resulting in precise, target-point heating. The friction between these molecules produces heat and thermal injury at a focal point within the skin tissue to create thermal coagulation zones at 3 selected depths (1.5mm, 3.0mm and 4.5mm), leaving the skin’s surface unaffected.
Delivering this focused energy to the dermal tissue causes immediate trauma to the treatment zone which then promotes heating, immediate contraction and collagen stimulation. The healing process works over approximately 180 days, stimulating long-term tissue repair leading to further lifting and tightening.
The SMAS layer (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) is also targeted during the treatment and is composed of collagen and elastin fibres, similar to those of the dermal tissue, and when treated, gives a long-lasting tightening effect.
Advantages:
-
Visible results can be observed after just one session, with continual improvement over 2-3 months post-procedure
-
Skin appears tighter, firmer, and more lifted
-
This procedure is entirely non-invasive and does not involve surgery
-
It leaves no cuts, scars, or stitches
-
There is zero downtime associated
-
Encourages the natural formation of collagen

Long Lasting Results
Clients can savour the benefits of a HIFU treatment for a span of 2 to 3 years. Typically, we suggest clients consider a touch-up session approximately once a year to maintain optimal, sustained outcomes. Through consistent HIFU treatments, you have the means to elegantly combat the aging process, resulting in taut, youthful, and radiant skin.
How does it work?
The HIFU face treatment works by sending highly focused acoustic energy below the skin’s surface to cause cellular friction within the molecules, resulting in precise, target-point heating. The friction between these molecules produces heat and thermal injury at a focal point within the skin tissue to create thermal coagulation zones at 3 selected depths (1.5mm, 3.0mm and 4.5mm), leaving the skin’s surface unaffected.
Things to know:
-
Skin feels tighter with a mild sensitivity to touch; however this will last up to 48 hours. After three days, your skin will feel back to normal.
-
Actual Results are visible after 6 to 8 weeks and improve further over time. Collagen induction process continues to work for another six months after the treatment.
-
The treated area maybe flushed, reddened and feel tingly.
-
It is normal for the area to feel tender immediately after the procedure.
-
We recommend no sun exposure for 24 to 48 hours after the treatment.
-
No strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours.
-
Temporary bruising and numbness in the treated area can also occur (although this is rare)
