HIFU: what it can and can't do

HIFU is one of the few non-surgical treatments that works below the surface. It is also easy to oversell, so here is the realistic version.

How it works

High intensity focused ultrasound sends energy to a set depth under the skin. The tissue warms, and your body responds by making new collagen. Nothing breaks the skin.

What it can do

Gently firm early to moderate looseness along the jawline and lower face, with no time off. Results are gradual and usually show over two to three months.

What it can't do

It will not give the result of a surgical facelift. If you have significant sagging, we will tell you that at your consultation rather than sell you a session.

Good to know

Expect warmth and brief zaps of pressure during treatment, strongest near bone. Mild redness can last a few hours. Results are not permanent, and many people repeat the treatment about once a year.
