About
WHAT IS HIFU?
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to heat the deep layers of skin — including the same layer targeted in surgical facelifts. This stimulates collagen production, resulting in lifted, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin without incisions or downtime.
COMMON TREATMENT AREAS:
- Face and jawline
- Neck and décolletage
- Brow lift
- Under-chin (double chin)
- Nasolabial folds
- Forehead

Process
What to Expect
A qualified practitioner uses a handheld device to deliver precise ultrasound energy to the deeper skin layers (typically 3–4.5mm deep). The heat triggers immediate collagen contraction and long-term collagen remodelling. Over the following months, skin gradually lifts and tightens as new collagen forms.

Pre-Care & Aftercare
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
- Arrive with clean skin free of makeup or skincare products
- Stay hydrated
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks
- Discuss realistic expectations — HIFU is not a replacement for surgical lifting in cases of severe sagging
AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT
- Mild redness or swelling is normal and typically resolves within 24 hours
- Apply gentle moisturiser and SPF
- Avoid vigorous exercise or hot environments for 24 hours
- Results develop gradually over 2–6 months as collagen builds
- A single treatment often provides results but some may benefit from a touch-up after 12–18 months
