Energy-Based
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
Overview
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive treatment that lifts, firms and tightens the skin by delivering focused ultrasound energy to precise depths beneath the skin surface.
Our clinic utilises next-generation micro-pulsed ultrasound technology (MPT) with enhanced multi-layer delivery. This advancement allows for faster, more precise energy delivery for improved patient comfort, while enabling highly customisable treatment protocols across multiple skin depths for clinical effectiveness.
By targeting structural layers including the superficial muscular support system (SMAS) and deeper dermal tissues, treatment stimulates collagen remodelling and tissue contraction, helping restore facial definition and improve skin laxity.
Common Concerns Addressed
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
- Loss of jawline definition
- Early jowling
- Sagging cheeks
- Double chin
- Neck laxity
- Brow descent
How It Works
- Focused ultrasound energy creates precise thermal coagulation points on the SMAS layer, tightening the SMAS and lifting overlying soft tissue
- Controlled energy delivery beneath the skin triggers collagen regeneration and tightens skin
- Ongoing collagen production improves skin quality and firmness over time
Treatment Process
Consultation
Facial assessment and treatment mapping
Duration
Typically 45-60 minutes
Comfort
Mild warmth or tingling; improved pulse modulation enhances comfort
Downtime
Minimal
Sessions
One session every 6 monthly
When to Expect Results
Initial tightening may be noticed within weeks, while lifting results continually improves over 2–3 months along with collagen regeneration .
Individual results vary. A medical consultation is necessary to determine suitability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from existing HIFU technologies?
Advanced micro-pulsed delivery enables more precise and consistent energy distribution, greater treatment efficiency and improved comfort.
Is there downtime?
Most patients resume normal activities immediately.
How long do results last?
Results typically last 9–12 months depending on individual condition and patient goals.
Is it painful?
Discomfort is generally mild and transient.
How many treatments are needed?
Most patients benefit from one treatment with periodic maintenance.
