HIFU Face Lift
Treatment Description
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive skin treatment used for skin tightening and rejuvenation. As a non-surgical alternative to a facelift HIFU is particularly appealing for patients looking for improvement but without invasive procedures. This technique harnesses ultrasound energy to target the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and firming up the skin’s structure. During HIFU treatment, a handheld device is used to deliver focused ultrasound waves to the skin’s dermal and subdermal layers, where they generate heat at precise depths, including the SMAS layer that lies beneath the skin that other treatments don't reach. The controlled heat prompts a natural healing response, triggering the production of collagen and elastin fibres, which are essential for maintaining skin’s firmness and elasticity. This makes HIFU especially effective for treating sagging skin around the jawline, neck, and cheeks, as well as for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face and décolletage. This is all done whilst avoiding damage to other areas. When it comes to treating sagging skin with noticeable results, HIFU is the first choice for many people.
