HIFU Face
Face HIFU is a non-surgical facelift treatment using high intensity focussed ultrasound to both lift and tighten loose or sagging skin on the neck and face without any downtime.
HIFU is the latest powerful treatment for skin lifting & targeted fat reduction using the most up-to-date, clinically proven technology.
The Science
Face HIFU focuses energy to stimulate the deep support layers of the skin without causing damage to the skin surface. The treatment stimulates the growth of new collagen resulting in a lifted, firmed and toned appearance of the skin.
What to expect
Results will develop over the course of 2 - 3 months with some clients experiencing continued improvement for up to 6 months. HIFU is a great alternative for people who do not want to undergo surgery.
