High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, also known as HIFU Therapy, Non-surgical Facelift, The 30 Minutes Facelift, The Lunchtime Facelift, 3D, 4D, Skinmed or Ultheraphy.
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a relatively new cosmetic treatment for skin tightening that some consider a noninvasive and painless replacement for face lifts. It uses ultrasound energy to encourage the production of collagen, which results in firmer skin.
Unlike a surgical facelift HIFU requires no incisions, no anaesthetic and little to no down-time. Your Aesthetician will apply a wand over your skin, placed directly on the areas of concern. Rays of focused heat are directed at the age-compromised cells, and not affecting the healthy skin cells on the surface.
This subcutaneous tissue is stimulated and the skin's collagen and elastin production is kick-started thereby producing the rejuvenation process, resulting in the lifting of the area.It literally achieves the results of a facelift without any invasive surgery or injections, without the downtime.
How Does HIFU Work?
HIFU makes use of ultrasonic energy to penetrate deep below the skin and fat layers of the face to target connective tissue gently but effectively. HIFU stimulates collagen production which has a tightening effect on the loose connective tissue, restoring firmness to areas of sagging skin and resulting in a visible lifting effect.
What happens after the treatment?
Clients may experience flushed skin after the treatment, but any redness or tenderness of this nature dissipates in a matter of hours. As HIFU requires no anaesthetic or incisions, there is no downtime, bandages, creams or pain medication. Clients are then able to return to their normal life immediately.

HIFU Ultherapy has a host of benefits compared to more traditional treatments and technologies
HIFU technology delivers a digitally controlled pattern of focused ultrasound energy to multiple layers of the face at different depths
(4.5mm, 3mm and 1.5mm) to tighten the deep SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer, deep and mid-dermis.
The HIFU causes thousands of small zones of coagulation in the tissues that result in tightening,
tissue re-modelling and production of new collagen (neocollagenesis).
The image below shows that the device can deposit micro-focused zones of tissue coagulation at a specific set of depths below the skin.
The Aesthetician begin HIFU facial rejuvenation by cleaning the chosen area of the face and applying a gel. Then, they use a handheld device that emits the ultrasound waves in short bursts. Sessions vary on timings depending on what area you are having treated and the size of it.
Some people report mild discomfort during the treatment, and some have pain afterward. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as or ibuprofen, will help.
Unlike other cosmetic procedures, HIFU facials do not require any preparation. When a session is over, there is also no recovery time, which means that people can get on with their daily activities after receiving HIFU treatment.
People may require between one and sex sessions depending on the results they want to achieve!

Only one HIFU Ultherapy treatment is required per area to get rejuvenation results, however more than one treatment can be performed on each area with 6-12 weeks between treatments one or two sessions are required.
Immediately after your HIFU Ultherapy Treatment, you may see some initial effect, but the ultimate results will take place over 2-3 months, as your body naturally regenerates collagen.
Since the procedure stimulates your own collagen production, how long the results last really depends on you.
The treatment produces new collagen on the inside, but your natural ageing process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the outside.
HIFU Therapy treats the deep foundational layer addressed in cosmetic surgery, it won’t duplicate the results of a surgical facelift.
However it is a great alternative, especially for those not ready for surgery or for patients looking to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery.
HIFU Ultherapy uses sound energy, tried and true ultrasound’s unique properties allow it to bypass the surface of the skin to treat depths not matched by any other non-invasive cosmetic device. HIFU ultherapy stimulates collagen production in the skin’s foundation, resulting in a clinically significant lift of tissue over the following 2-3 months.
Lasers rely on light energy, which cannot reach deeper skin layers at an optimal temperature, so laser treatments typically only treat superficial skin. Since the two technologies often treat different types of skin issues, they’re actually very compatible.
During the treatment the transducer delivers and deposits focused ultrasound energy deep beneath the skin at the optimal temperature for collagen regeneration.
The treatment jumpstarts a natural process, known as neocollagenesis, to produce fresh, new collagen.
The treatment itself doesn’t involve any creams, fillers or toxins, it just relies on your body’s own collagen-building process for natural, noticeable results.
As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated.
Comfort levels vary from person to person, but the sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is being delivered.
A good HIFU Ultherapy candidate has mild to moderate skin laxity where the skin begins to feel and look less firm. Examples include a lowered eyebrow line, loose skin on the neck, sagging under the chin, and lines or wrinkles on the chest.
Of course, the best way to find out if you’re a suitable candidate is have a free consultation with a practitioner.
Are There Any Side Effects with HIFU Ultherapy Treatment?
The skin may appear flushed at first, this can be during treatment but sometimes lasting longer, the redness should however disappear within a few hours. Some clients experience slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to the touch, but these are temporary in nature.
Other, less common post-procedural effects may include temporary bruising or numbness on small areas of skin. As with any cosmetic procedure, there is the possibility of other rare effects, which your practitioner will review with you at your consultation.
