HIFU
Non-surgical skin tightening for the face, jawline and neck using focused ultrasound.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound
HIFU is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to target the deeper layers of the skin and stimulate collagen production.
It can be used to improve mild skin laxity and support a firmer appearance across areas such as the face, jawline, cheeks, neck and brow. Because HIFU works beneath the skin without surgery or incisions, it may be suitable for patients looking for a non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
Results develop gradually as collagen production increases over the weeks following treatment, and the degree of improvement varies depending on factors such as age, skin quality and the area being treated.
Is HIFU right for me?
HIFU may be considered if you are concerned about mild skin laxity or reduced definition through areas such as the jawline, lower face or neck and would prefer a non-surgical treatment option.
It is generally best suited to mild or early tissue laxity. HIFU does not remove significant excess skin or reposition deeper facial tissues in the same way as facelift or neck lift surgery.
During your consultation, Katie’s team can assess your skin and concerns and explain whether HIFU or another treatment is likely to be more appropriate.
