What is HIFU?
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 result is visible.
The highly focused ultrasound activates and accelerates the body’s own healing process in the face, neck and décolletage areas and thereby helps sagging skin to tighten itself and become firmer. This method requires no creams, no artificial filler products or toxins. It relies solely on the body’s natural regenerative capacity. Since the treatment targets deeper layers, the surface of the skin is not affected. After the treatment, you can simply go about your usual activities.
MAIN APPLICATION
•Wrinkle reduction
•Non-surgical facelifting
•Correction of the facial shape
•Lifting of the cheeks
•Eyebrow lifting
•Lifting of frown and forehead lines
•Lifting of nasolabial folds
•Chin reduction
•Lacrimal sac reduction
•Tightening of the décolletage
•Skin-smoothing treatment post liposuction
THE TREATMENT PROCESS
HIFU procedure stimulates collagen production via a targeted input of ultrasound energy into the deep tissue layers of the skin. This warms the tissue, which in turn triggers a natural skin response that initiates a regenerative process through the production of neo-collagen.
Lasers generally target the uppermost layers of the skin (e.g., to counteract fine lines, wrinkles, and changes in pigmentation). The Ultrasound Therapy HIFU procedure bypasses the skin’s surface and focuses entirely on the deep, structural layers of the skin where collagen is deposited.
The Ultrasound Therapy HIFU treatment is completely painless.
HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE?
- A single treatment takes between 30 minutes and 2.5 hours, depending on the area to be treated.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NECESSARY?
- Generally, excellent results can be achieved after just one HIFU treatment. An additional treatment may be carried out no earlier than 8-12 months after the first. To promote collagen growth and regeneration, we recommended the use of special cosmetics.

SIDE EFFECTS
-After treatment, you can immediately resume your normal activities because the skin’s upper layers are not damaged by the high intensity ultrasound. In some cases, slight redness or swelling may occur, which will quickly subside. There may also be a slight sensitivity to touch and light tingling sensation, which can persist for a few weeks. In very rare cases, bruising and temporary local numbness may occur. These side effects disappear after a few days.
