Non-Surgical Face lift

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is an advanced cosmetic technology that significantly tightens and lifts several areas of the face and body. Non-invasive HIFU technology works by targeting deep layers in the skin-boosting new collagen production and collagen regeneration at the source. Some call it the ‘Lunchtime Face Lift’ as the treatment is quick, very tolerable, and has no downtime.

Get The Fact

HIFU works by directly transferring ultrasound energy into multiple layers of the skin to trigger collagen renewal for a tighter, younger complexion. By sending thermal heat below the surface of the skin, HIFU stimulates the formation of new collagen production in the deeper levels of tissue. The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer is where a plastic surgeon would pull and tighten under a surgical operation, and with HIFU we target this layer without any incisions, giving the patient a no-downtime facelift. See excellent results without any risks associated with surgery, such as infection, scarring, swelling, etc. Results can last up to a year or more, and future touch-up treatments will vary by individual as their natural aging process takes over.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Am I a candidate for HIFU?

If you have wrinkles, fine lines, or sagging skin on your face or neck and do not want to undergo surgery, this treatment is perfect to lift, tighten and rejuvenate your skin.

+ How is HIFU treatment performed?

A layer of ultrasonic gel will be applied to the treatment areas right before the procedure. Your technician will choose the appropriate handpiece depth and set the optimal energy according to the client’s skin condition. The handpiece is gently placed on the treatment area and multiple pulses are delivered to the area according to treatment protocols.

+ Is the treatment painful?

Comfort levels vary from person to person. There may be some mild discomfort and a tingling sensation during the procedure but these are only temporary and well-tolerated by most clients.

+ Are non-surgical facelift treatments cost-effective compared to surgical facelifts?

Non-surgical facelift treatments are generally more cost-effective than surgical facelifts. While the exact cost varies depending on the type of treatment, location, and provider, non-surgical options are often less expensive due to the absence of surgical fees, anesthesia costs, and lengthy recovery periods.

+ How long is the recovery time after a non-surgical facelift?

One of the significant advantages of non-surgical facelift treatments is that they typically involve minimal to no downtime. You can generally resume your normal activities immediately after the procedure, although your doctor may recommend avoiding strenuous exercise or excessive sun exposure for a few days.
