Facial sagging appears gradually over time. HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) is a non-invasive solution, without surgery or injections, designed to support this process by stimulating the tissues deep down. The targeted ultrasound waves pass through the surface layers without damaging them to reactivate the skin's natural support mechanisms. The aim is not to transform your features, but to preserve the natural contours of the face and improve its firmness gradually. 1 to 2 sessions are usually enough, with maximum effect visible 2 to 3 months after the session, and an immediate return to your activities.

HIFU is only offered when it is the most relevant option. If another technology or a manual protocol is likely to deliver a better result, that solution will be recommended to you in full transparency. Every treatment is preceded by a personalised assessment to confirm that it is suited to your skin and your goals.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

How many HIFU sessions are needed to see results?

Details

Generally 1 to 2 sessions are enough. The maximum effect appears progressively, 2 to 3 months after the session, as the collagen production stimulated by the ultrasound builds up.

Is HIFU painful?

Details

The focused ultrasound can cause a sensation of warmth or localised tingling during the session, but the treatment is well tolerated and allows an immediate return to your activities, with no downtime.

What are the contraindications for HIFU?

Details

HIFU is not recommended during pregnancy, for pacemaker wearers, in case of active skin infection, inflammatory autoimmune disease, unstabilised epilepsy or major blood clotting disorders. A waiting period is also required after filler injections (4 to 6 weeks) or botox (10 to 15 days).

Can HIFU replace a surgical facelift?

Details

HIFU acts on the SMAS, the deep supporting structure of the face, to tighten tissue and provide a natural lifting effect, without surgery or injections. Results are more subtle and gradual than a surgical facelift, with an immediate return to your activities.
