HIFU

Non-Surgical Skin Tightening & Lifting

✅ What Is HIFU?

HIFU is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate deep layers of the skin, promoting collagen and elastin production. It targets the same tissue layer as surgical facelifts — but without incisions, needles, or downtime.

✨ What It Treats:

  • Sagging skin on the face, neck, and jawline

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Drooping eyelids or brow area

  • Double chin and jowls

  • Skin laxity on décolletage or body

⚙️ How It Works:

Ultrasound waves penetrate deep beneath the skin’s surface to heat tissue at precise depths. This controlled energy triggers the skin’s natural healing response, tightening existing collagen and encouraging new collagen production over time.

👤 Who Is It For?

  • Clients with mild to moderate skin laxity

  • Those who want visible lifting and contouring without surgery

  • Suitable for all skin tones and types

  • Ideal for treating the face, neck, under chin, and chest

📅 How Many Sessions Are Needed?

Most clients need just one session, with gradual improvement over 8–12 weeks. For deeper laxity or aging concerns, 2–3 sessions may be recommended annually.

✅ Before Your HIFU Treatment

To prepare for optimal results and comfort:

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 5 days before treatment

  • Discontinue retinoids, acids, or exfoliants on the treatment area 2–3 days prior

  • Stay well-hydrated — drink plenty of water the day before and the day of treatment

  • Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, etc.) 48 hours before, unless medically necessary

  • Come with clean skin — no makeup, lotions, or oils on the treated area

  • Inform your provider if you have implants, active infections, or medical conditions

🧴 Aftercare Instructions for HIFU

HIFU requires no downtime, but proper aftercare enhances comfort and results:

🕓 Immediately After:

  • You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area

  • Some clients feel slight tingling, sensitivity, or tightness for a few days

🚫 Avoid for 24–48 Hours:

  • Hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, or heavy sweating

  • Alcohol and caffeine (they can dehydrate the skin)

  • Intense workouts or massages on the treated area

  • Harsh skincare products (retinoids, scrubs, acids)

  • Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer

  • Apply SPF 30+ daily — avoid sun exposure while your skin heals

  • Keep the skin hydrated and avoid unnecessary touching or rubbing

  • Drink plenty of water to support collagen stimulation
