What is HIFU?

HIFU, or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses ultrasound energy to tighten and lift the skin. It works by targeting deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production, which helps improve elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Often used as a non-surgical alternative to a facelift, HIFU focuses on areas like the jawline, neck, and brow. The treatment requires no downtime, with long-lasting results that can develop over a few months and last up to 1 year.

What to expect

1. Consultation

We begin with a consultation to understand your goals and tailor a personalized treatment plan. This ensures we recommend the best service for your needs, and if another service suits you better, the consultation fee will be credited toward that option.

Consultation, regularly $100, offered at 50% discount ($85) through the end of the year. The $50 will be applied as a credit towards your next session.

2. Book the Session

After the consultation, we’ll work with you to find the perfect time that fits your schedule and book your appointment seamlessly.

3. What to do before the session?

Before your session, you want to be well hydrated. It's best to avoid anything that would dehydrate you the day before and remove makeup if possible.

4. What to expect during the session

During the session we will do a light cleanse and our aestheticians will apply a topical numbing cream (optional, but recommended for comfort). After it’s given time to take effect, the cream is removed and we begin a face lifting massage and acupuncture (optional), then perform the HIFU tailored to your goals such as lifting or skin tightening. Expect the entire procedure to take between 90-120 minutes.

5. What to expect after treatment?

Immediately After (Day 1)
-Mild Redness and Swelling: You may notice slight redness or swelling, but it should fade within a few hours.
-Tightening Sensation: Some immediate tightening may be felt, but the visible effects will take time.

Week 1
- Mild Dryness : usually, no sensitivity after the treatment. but if your skin is sensitive type, then might feel slightly dryness than usual.

But most of the clients wont experience any discomfort

- No Major Changes Yet: While the treatment has started to work, noticeable visual results typically haven't appeared yet.

Week 2-3
- Skin Starting to Firm: your own skin will starting to regenerate the collagen, so you will notice subtle improvements in skin texture and firmness may start to appear, especially around areas like the jawline and cheeks
- Wrinkles Begin to Soften: You might notice slight reductions in fine lines or wrinkles as collagen production is underway.

Week 4-6
- Visible Lifting: By this time, the skin will be more firmer and tighter and more noticeable changes around sagging areas.
- Improved Contouring: The facial contours, particularly around the jaw and neck, will start to look more defined and firmer look

Week 8-12
- Full Results: This is when you’ll see the maximum benefits—tighter, lifted skin with reduced wrinkles and better overall facial definition.
- Ongoing Collagen Production: Collagen continues to regenerate, keeping the skin firm and youthful.

For the best, we recommend visiting after 6 months to amplify and extend the effects. Effects can last up to a year but if performed every 6 months for 3-4 sessions, results can stacked and amplified to a desired effect. However, maintenance treatments may be recommended depending on your skin’s response.
