HIFU Skin Tightening
Revitalise your face, neck and body with HIFU – a revolutionary skin-tightening procedure that helps you to lift & smooth sagging skin.
What is HIFU Skin Tightening?
Revitalise your face, neck and body with High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) – a revolutionary skin-tightening procedure that helps you to lift and smooth sagging skin without surgery. It can even be used for slimming and body toning by eliminating hard-to-shift fat with minimal fuss and risk.
HIFU Skin Tightening works by concentrating beams of ultrasound onto skin that has lost laxity, usually due to the natural ageing process. This process strengthens the underlying tissues in weakened skin while also stimulating your body’s own natural production of collagen. Subsequently, your skin continues to improve for many weeks after treatment.
Common areas that HIFU can target include:
- forehead (heavy lines, eyebrow lifting)
- eyes (under eye, crow’s feet)
- cheek area (nasolabial folds, depressions)
- chin (double chin, jowls)
- jaw line (v-line forming)
- neck and chest (wrinkles, loose skin)
- localised fat and slimming assistance (focused energy waves can destroy localised fat cells).
The treatment can sometimes be even more effective when combined with other treatments, helping you to achieve optimal results in the shortest possible time. As always, our doctors and skin therapists will help you create a personalised treatment plan based on your own needs, goals and progress!

How does HIFU Skin Tightening work?
HIFU Skin Tightening is an effective procedure that uses High Intensity Focused Ultrasound energy to safely trigger a deep reparative process within the skin.
As we mature, our skin produce less collagen and elastin. These are the structural proteins that give skin its suppleness and elasticity. As production slows, our skin’s upper layers gradually wrinkle and sag. In order to reverse this, it sends ultrasound energy to selected depths below your skin’s surface. This causes small injuries to the underlying tissue. As that tissue heals, new collagen is produced, gradually giving you a natural rejuvenating effect.
We use the latest technology devices by Levura and Perfecte’me to deliver energy to the dermal tissue. This traumatises the treatment zone, which promotes healing, contraction, and collagen stimulation. During the treatment sessions, your skin becomes firmer. These results continue to improve as new collagen is generated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, HIFU treatments can also be used for body slimming. Our advanced technology can help eliminate localised fat in parts of the body, such as around the thighs or hips. In this case, the treatment blasts stubborn fat cells with controlled energy, which heats them up and safely destroys them. As the damaged fat cells are gradually expelled by the body by its natural process, the skin in the area is also tightened.
