High Intensity Focused Ultrasound also known as ‘Ultrasound Facelift’ is a skin tightening treatment that has become one of the most sought after lifting treatments for ageing skin.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does HIFU work?
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-surgical treatment that uses concentrated ultrasound energy to safely target deep layers of the skin. Unlike many other skin treatments that only work on the surface, HIFU penetrates beyond the epidermis (outer skin) into the dermis (where collagen is produced) and even deeper into the SMAS layer (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) — the same foundational layer that surgeons tighten during a facelift. The ultrasound energy creates tiny, controlled points of heat at precise depths without damaging the skin’s surface. This triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin production. Over the following weeks and months, the skin becomes firmer, tighter, and lifted naturally.
Why is HIFU more effective than other treatments?
• Targets multiple layers of skin Most non-invasive treatments (like radiofrequency, microneedling, or lasers) only reach the dermis. HIFU is unique because it can safely reach the SMAS layer, achieving lifting and tightening effects that other technologies cannot. • Non-surgical facelift effect: By stimulating the SMAS — the same layer addressed in facelift surgery — HIFU delivers results that are closer to surgical lifting, but without downtime, needles, or scars. • Long-lasting natural results: The collagen regeneration process continues for months after treatment, so results are progressive and can last up to 12–18 months. • Precision and safety: HIFU devices are designed to deliver energy at exact depths, ensuring effective treatment while protecting the surrounding tissues.
What can be treated using HIFU?
Face & Neck Treatments: • Lifting and tightening of the cheeks, jawline, and jowls Reducing fine lines and wrinkles (e.g. around the eyes and mouth) • Smoothing the forehead and brow area (non-surgical brow lift) • Lifting and firming sagging skin under the chin (“double chin”) • Tightening loose skin on the neck (“turkey neck”) Improving overall skin texture and elasticity Body Treatments: https://www.stayperfectworld.com/5d-hifu-body-contour • Tightening loose skin on the stomach, thighs, buttocks, arms, and knees • Reducing crepey skin on the décolletage (chest area) • Contouring small stubborn pockets of fat (depending on the device settings) • Improving firmness and skin tone after weight loss or pregnancy
How long until I see results?
Clients may witness some initial effect, but ultimately lifting and firming will take place over approximately 3 months, as collagen is renewed and replaced with new, stronger collagen. As this collagen building process continues, continued improvements can appear for up to 6 months.*

Does it hurt?
Most people do not report pain. There can be slight aching over bony areas or a warm sensation in the skin during treatment.
Is it safe?
Thousands of treatments have been performed worldwide using HIFU technology without significant adverse events. In addition, ultrasound energy has been used safely in the field of medicine for more than 50 years.
Can HIFU replace a facelift?
Although HIFU is not a replacement for surgery, it is ideal for people who wish to uplift the face and neck but who are not ready for surgery – either psychologically, financially or logistically. It is considered more of an ‘uplift’ than a ‘facelift’ and can be combined with other non-surgical lifting treatments to further enhance the results.*
How long does the treatment take?
Between 30-90 minutes, depending on area to be treated and the speed setting of the treatment.
What kind of results do you get with HIFU?
HIFU addresses skin that is mild to moderately loose or lax, specifically by reconditioning and renewing the skin from within. HIFU will lift the brow, which in turn reduces excess skin on the eyelids, opens up the eyes, and gives a more refreshed look overall. Patients have reported firmer, more toned skin in others areas of the face and neck as well.
Will I need more than one treatment?
The majority of clients need only one treatment; however, some may benefit from more than one treatment (depending on how much laxity they have and their body’s own biological response to the ultrasound and collagen rebuilding process).
Is there any downtime?
here is normally no downtime or recovery time needed. Most people return to normal activities right away.
Are there any side effects?
There may be slight redness following the treatment. A small amount of clients report swelling, tingling or tenderness to touch. All potential side effects will be discussed by the practitioner prior to treatment.
Can I combine HIFU with other treatments?
Often HIFU is used alongside other treatments to enhance results. Please speak with me about your concerns, so that I can help you reach your goal.

BEFORE & AFTER'S
HIFU is the gold standard for non-invasive skin tightening - backed by scientists and doctors. Unlike other treatments, HIFU is a one off treatment, which will help you achieve firmer, tighter and lifted skin.
HIFU targets the same foundational layer that surgeons tighten during a facelift & the effects form the scaffolding of the skin.
