Ultra Lift HIFU Treatment

 HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-surgical, non-invasive facelift. It lifts, smooths, and tones the face and neck as a result of increased collagen production. It is truly the treatment that keeps on giving, as results improve with time and maintenance.

How it Works

HIFU stands for high intensity focused ultrasound and is an innovative, painless and non-invasive way to reduce wrinkles that lasts up to two years and is skin-friendly. Additional applications include face and brow lifting, tightening of the connective tissue and cellulite treatment. Highly concentrated ultrasound waves penetrate deep into the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production. 20% of the result can be seen immediately after the treatment. 3-6 months later, the final result is visible.

HIFU works by targeting deep down in the dermis layer of your skin, the same layer addressed in cosmetic surgery. The HIFU procedure by-passes the surface of the skin, and delivers targeted energy specifically into the deep, structural tissues where the collagen is produced. Its penetrating ultra-sound energy stimulates collagen production in both the deep dermal and sub dermal levels of the skin. It does this by delivering heat of up to 60 degree Celsius to those layers, which in turn creates a ‘micro injury’ which triggers a healing response. There is an initial skin tightening and as the tissue begins to repair, collagen production is increased which results in further tightening over the next few months and ultimately a smoother and firmer looking skin.

What To Expect

A session of this treatment lasts between 30 and 90 minutes and causes little to no discomfort. After one to six sessions, you will notice tighter skin, reduced sagging, and smoothed wrinkles and fine lines.

  • HIFU is also called Ultherapy, Ultrasound Facelift or 3D SkinMed. It’s an advanced cosmetic technology that can significantly tighten as well as lift several areas of your face, improve the tone of your skin and reduce the ageing signs in one session, with potential effects that are long-lasting.

    Ultrasound energy is used during the treatment to stimulate the deep layers supporting your skin. This creates an appearance that is lifted and tighter plus stimulates your body to produce collagen, which helps your skin in maintaining its youthful glow.

    The technology of HIFU is unique in its capability to penetrate your dermis and the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) layer, which is deeper compared to all other facial treatments that are non-invasive. The SMAS is the very layer that’s tightened during the process of conventional facelift surgery.

  • Suitable candidates are people aged 30 years and above and who have seen that the skin on their neck or face has become laxer and want to lift and tighten the relevant areas.

    It can also be an additive to a facelift, to ensure long-lasting results.

    We do not recommend this treatment to patients who have metal implants in the treatment area, pacemakers, blood disorders, or silicone injections in the treatment area.

  • This treatment can lift the cheeks, eyebrows, forehead, nasolabial folds, and the décolletage. This tightening also reduces the appearance of wrinkles, the chin, and makes skin appear smoother.

  • How many treatments you require will depend on your skin. In some cases, only one treatment is required.

    In others however, 2 or 3 subsequent treatments may be recommended every three months followed by a once a year maintenance treatment. 

  • Some may notice some immediate lifting, but that’s usually due to the very slight swelling just post treatment. It typically takes 3 months to see the full results of a HIFU treatment.

  • A slight prickly discomfort may be experienced during the treatment but that can be reduced with topical numbing cream or oral analgesics.

  • No, a HIFU face lift will not be able to achieve the same effect as a surgical face lift. Nonetheless, it does provide lift to fit candidates.

  • One Ultra Lift HIFU session typically lasts between 9-12 months. A touch up session at 6 months does help to prolong and maintain the effects of the original HIFU session.

  • There are 3 phases to recovery.

    The Inflammation Phase will last 0-4 hours, and is a result of swelling during the treatment.

    The Proliferative Phase lasts 2 days to 6 weeks. This can include hemostasis, skin coagulation, cell migration, wound contraction, granulation tissue, and collagen synthesis.


    Lastly comes the Remodeling Phase, which occurs around the third or fourth week of healing. You will notice an increase in strength, collagen arrangement, and lift.
