HIFUHigh Intensity Focused Ultrasound
A non-surgical treatment that targets the deep structural layers of skin and muscle to stimulate collagen production and restore natural firmness.
What is HIFU Treatment?
HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to target the same deep structural layers addressed in a surgical facelift, without any incisions or general anaesthetic.
A non-surgical facelift from the inside out.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound works by delivering focused energy to the SMAS layer, the same layer targeted by surgeons during a traditional facelift. This stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin at a structural level, producing a genuine lifting and tightening effect that develops progressively over several months.
Unlike surface treatments that work on the skin alone, HIFU penetrates to depths of 1.5mm, 3mm and 4.5mm depending on the setting used, targeting different layers for a comprehensive result.
HIFU is the only non-surgical treatment that targets the same structural layer as a surgical facelift, making it uniquely effective for patients with moderate skin laxity.
The treatment is entirely non-invasive, requires no anaesthetic and has no downtime, making it an ideal choice for patients who want meaningful results without disrupting their daily life.
