As part of a HIFU facial, your provider will use ultrasound energy to target the skin’s deep layers. This helps to generate heat, inflicting damage on the targeted skin cells and stimulating the body’s natural healing response. Hence, the body produces more collagen, which imparts structure to your skin and makes it elastic.
Now, HIFU treatments target various parts of the body, firming them up. They help to define the shape of your face, jawline, eyebrows, and neck, making you feel and look younger.
Like other ultrasound treatments, HIFU technology smoothens your facial lines and reduces the appearance of your sagging jowls. This tightening of the skin around your face, neck, and chest makes your skin glow.
Well, if you want to improve your overall appearance without any surgical intervention, the HIFU facial is one of the best options. It is effective in treating mild to moderate laxity, whereby it tightens your loose skin to make you look younger.

It is permissible to also go about your regular schedule as usual a few days before your appointment. However, ensure you do not wear makeup on the treatment day. Moreover, if you are consuming NSAIDs, you must talk to your provider for their opinion.
The general recommendation is to undergo 1-2 HIFU sessions per year, which can help to achieve a healthy aesthetic balance. Nonetheless, those with significant collagen loss may be advised more treatment sessions, which are spaced 4 to 5 months apart. Our dermatologists may also recommend microneedling and other treatments, in combination with HIFU, to maintain the results for a longer time.
The longevity of the HIFU results depends on various factors. These include your lifestyle choices, daily diet, sun exposure, smoking habits, water intake, and collagen levels.
Our skin specialists recommend undergoing the HIFU procedure twice a year as part of your skincare measures. That’s because this non-surgical facial treatment boosts collagen production and improves the overall health of your skin, revealing soft, smooth, and supple skin.
