High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a treatment that provides overall tightening and rejuvenation of the skin on the face and neck.

As we get older, the effects of ageing can cause both the muscles and fat pad deposits in our faces start to descend gradually. This increase in loose tissue, particularly in the jowl area, can have a very ageing effect, making us look more stern, sadder or more tired than we are. 

A procedure called High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, also known as the “Ultrasound Face-lift” or “Non-Surgical Face-lift” is now the most popular lifting treatment globally, successful for facial and neck rejuvenation. It works by stimulating the body′s own natural collagen production, encouraging rapid cell renewal to help the skin maintain its youthful glow.

While providing overall skin tightening and rejuvenation, there will also be a noticeable improvement in facial contouring and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

HIFU is an entirely safe, non-surgical ultrasound treatment that sees visible effects after just one session, benefiting areas such as eyebrows, jowls, under the chin and neck, and improving lines and wrinkles, loose skin and crepe-like skin.

Undergoing this treatment can help to counteract the adverse effects of gravity and time, restoring a youthful appearance that can subsequently boost your self-confidence. It may be advisable to repeat this procedure once or twice annually, to maintain optimal results.

Additionally, Dr PJ Aesthetic Clinic offers various other tops of the line non-surgical facelift treatments including the 8-point lift technique with dermal filler, Radiofrequency (RF) and  DermaPen.

Another indication of HIFU is to target stubborn fat, to destroy the subcutaneous fat tissue. It allows for treatments of specific targeted areas such as tummy, flanks, thighs with no downtime. Using three different depths of Ultrasonic penetration with the body handpiece, we will permanently destroy fat cells and tighten the skin in specific areas of the body.

HIFU has the highest percentage of skin tightening efficiency, permanent fat cell breakdown. Ultrasound waves specifically target the unwanted fat cells, disrupting them to a liquid state. This fatty liquid (triglycerides released by damaged cells) will leave your body naturally once this has been achieved.
