HIFU
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound or ULTHERA

HIFU delivers focused ultrasound energy to the deep layers of the skin, including the SMAS layer (the same layer targeted during surgical facelifts). This energy triggers a natural regenerative process, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin over time

Most clients experience mild to moderate discomfort during the treatment, described as a tingling or prickling sensation. Discomfort levels vary depending on individual pain thresholds and treatment areas.

A typical treatment session lasts between 60 to 120 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.

No. HIFU is a non-invasive treatment with no required downtime. Clients can return to their normal activities immediately after the session.

Some clients notice an immediate tightening effect, but the full results develop gradually over 8 to 12 weeks as collagen production increases. Improvements can continue for up to 12 months.

Results typically last 12 to 24 months, depending on individual skin condition, age, lifestyle, and maintenance. Annual top-up sessions are recommended to prolong the effects.

Yes. HIFU is a clinically proven treatment for non-surgical facial lifting. It has a strong safety record when performed by trained professionals.

HIFU is best suited for clients with mild to moderate skin laxity who are seeking a non-surgical lifting and tightening solution. It is not recommended for individuals with very loose or sun-damaged skin, or for those with metal implants in the treatment area

Side effects are typically mild and temporary. These may include:
