HIFU Plus – Non-surgical facelifts
What is High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)?
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, or more commonly known as HIFU is a remarkable breakthrough in technology, offering a truly non-invasive alternative to a surgical facelift. HIFU uses the power of Ultrasound to safely lift and tighten skin and involves no surgery and no injections. Being a form of energy that is very different from light such as IPL and Radio-Frequency energy, HIFU is able to protect the skin surface whilst precisely penetrating at deeper depths.
The targeted tissue is heated to ~65°C, creating both spaced wounds and cellular friction which in turns stimulate collagen regeneration and production. Over the next 90 – 180 days, the regenerative response stimulates long-term tissue and leads to further lifting and tightening, with results that can last years.
HIFU can be used around the eyes, as well as the face, neck and jawline.
What are the benefits of HIFU?
Low Downtime, Comfortable and Pain-Free
HIFU is designed to be a cost-effective alternative to a surgical face lift. During the treatment, there is no need for anaesthesia or sedation, nor there is any incisions or risk of infection. The whole procedure is comfortable and painless with results that can be felt with just one treatment. The results can last for 6 to 12 months.
It is aimed at reducing crow’s feet, drooping eyelids, sagging skin along the jawline. (Individual results may vary according to existing condition).

The number of treatment sessions depends on your age and skin condition. One treatment is usually sufficient on light to moderate skin laxity.
