What is HIFU? How Does HIFU Facelift Work?
HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. Unlike lasers that work on the skin surface, HIFU bypasses the epidermis entirely and delivers precise thermal energy to depths of 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm beneath the skin.
At each focal point, temperatures reach 60-70°C, creating micro-coagulation zones that trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response. Over 2-3 months, fresh collagen and elastin fibers form, progressively lifting and tightening the treated areas.
Key Treatment Areas
- Jawline & V-line contouring — Defines the lower face and reduces jowling
- Double chin reduction — Tightens submental fat and skin laxity
- Cheek lifting — Restores mid-face volume and contour
- Forehead & brow lift — Opens the eye area for a refreshed look
- Neck tightening — Addresses “turkey neck” and horizontal lines
- Full-face rejuvenation — Comprehensive tightening in a single session
