What is HIFU?

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a medical technology that utilises ultrasound at precise depths for non-surgical tightening and lifting of the skin. It can help to reverse ageing and achieve a lifted and youthful look.

Which areas can be treated with HIFU?

HIFU can be performed on the face and neck to reduce any signs of skin ageing. Common fine line and wrinkles such as forehead wrinkles, frown lines, smile lines, crow’s feets and neck line can be treated by HIFU. Double chin, saggy jowls and chubby cheeks can be reduced to enhance jawline and facial contour to achieve a V Shaped Face.

What is HIFU good for?

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

HIFU is a good option for tackling wrinkles and fine lines. This non-invasive treatment stimulates collagen production, reducing wrinkles and providing natural-looking results. Its precision targeting ensures safety and long-lasting effects without downtime. Say

Double Chin

For those dealing with a double chin concern, HIFU offers an ideal solution. HIFU can help melt double chin fats by targeting the underlying fat cells and tightens the skin, effectively reducing the appearance of a double chin. 

Cheek Fats

HIFU precisely targets the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and providing a natural lift to the cheeks. As collagen levels increase, the skin becomes firmer and tighter.

Saggy Jowls, Brows & Eyelids

HIFU’s targeted energy reaches the deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin tightening. The increased collagen leads to a lifted and rejuvenated appearance for sagging jowls, brows, and eyelids.

HIFU for Fine Lines & Wrinkles

As we age, the production of collagen naturally decreases, leading to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles- forehead wrinkles, frown lines, smile lines, crow’s feets and neck lines.

HIFU can stimulate collagen production, so the skin gradually regains its firmness and elasticity, resulting in the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines. The renewed collagen also helps to lift and tighten the underlying tissues, which contributes to an overall more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

HIFU for Face Lifting & Tightening

Over time, when collagen production declines, it leads to visible signs of aging like sagging skin.

HIFU provides a non-invasive lifting solution by stimulating collagen production. The rejuvenated collagen actively lifts and tightens the underlying tissues, resulting in a more youthful and revitalized look for saggy jowls, brows, and eyelids.

HIFU for Defined Youthful Look

HIFU’s precise energy penetrates deep into the skin, effectively melting away excess fat cells in the double chin area and cheeks. Simultaneously, HIFU stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness.

As a result, the skin tightens, giving the face a lifted and contoured look, while the reduction in double chin and cheek fats creates a more sculpted and youthful appearance.

How does HIFU works?

The beginners guide to HIFU treatment

HIFU is a FDA approved treatment in Singapore, using the ultrasound technology to reach different layers of the skin, harmlessly passing through skin without damage to skin surface to deliver focused beams of 60 – 70 degrees Celsius.

The focused beams melt excess fats in the face while stimulating collagen to tighten the skin, allowing an lifting and toning effect on skin.

As a result, our face’s loose skin can be tightened and looks younger and more taut, as it is rejuvenated thanks to the increased synthesis of collagen and elastin.

Before HIFU

HIFU treatment is generally well-tolerated, but you can request topical numbing cream if desired for added comfort.

Once prepared, a gel solution will be applied to the skin to enhance the passage of ultrasonic waves during the treatment..

During HIFU

During HIFU treatment, you will be lying down comfortably as your aesthetic doctor utilizes a handheld device to precisely deliver focused ultrasound energy to the targeted treatment areas.

After HIFU

After your HIFU treatment, you can return to your normal activities immediately.

You may experience temporary and mild downtime, with potential effects like slight swelling or redness on the treated areas, which typically subside within a few hours.

Which skin layers can HIFU target?

HIFU precisely targets three key layers in the skin: the Epidermis, Deep Dermis, and the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS), akin to the facial muscles addressed during a traditional facelift.

At a depth of 1.5mm, HIFU reaches the superficial dermis, effectively reducing melanin to lighten pigmentation and promote skin brightening.

Delving to a depth of 3mm, the energy targets the deep dermis, resulting in stimulation of collagen production, leading to a skin tightening effect.

Finally, at a depth of 4.5mm, HIFU reaches the SMAS, producing a skin lifting effect, providing visible and rejuvenating results.

What can you expect from HIFU Treatment?

When the ultrasound energy reaches the skin layer, it will stimulate collagen production which will progressively improve over 4 to 6 weeks as your skin continue to generate collagen. Results will differ between individuals as collagen production and maintenance is not the same for all. Visible results can already be seen on the first session. However, in order to see the full effect, it is advisable to wait 2 – 3 months.
