What is HIFU Skin Tightening?
HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) delivers precise ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of the skin, including the SMAS – the supportive layer that is tightened in a surgical facelift. The focused heat creates tiny points of controlled injury that trigger the body to make new collagen.
Over the following weeks, the skin gradually becomes firmer, tighter and more lifted. Because the surface of the skin is not damaged, there is no peeling and no recovery period.
HIFU suits people with mild to moderate skin laxity who want a natural-looking lift without surgery or injections. Dr. Tarunveer will assess whether HIFU alone, or a combination with fillers, threads or Botox, will give you the best result.
Concerns HIFU can help
- Sagging cheeks
- Loose jawline & jowls
- Double chin & neck laxity
- Drooping brows
- Loss of firmness & fine lines
- Loose skin on the neck & décolletage
Benefits of HIFU Skin Tightening
Non-surgical lift
Lifts and tightens without cuts, stitches or injections.
No downtime
Return to work and normal activities straight after your session.
Natural, gradual results
Collagen builds over weeks, so the change looks natural.
Long-lasting
A single session can last a year or more, depending on age and skin.
How the Treatment Works
Assessment & mapping
Dr. Tarunveer assesses skin laxity and maps the treatment areas and depths for your face and neck.
Cleansing & gel
The skin is cleansed and a layer of ultrasound gel is applied.
Ultrasound delivery
The handpiece delivers focused energy at different depths. You may feel brief warm, tingling pulses.
Review
Results are reviewed at 2–3 months, once new collagen has formed.
Results & Number of Sessions
Some tightening may be noticed immediately, but the real lift develops over 2–3 months as new collagen forms, and can continue to improve for up to 6 months.
Results typically last around a year or longer. A maintenance session every 12–18 months helps keep the skin firm as natural ageing continues.
Aftercare
- Mild redness or swelling settles within a few hours
- Some tenderness along the jawline may last a few days
- Use a gentle moisturiser and sunscreen
- You can return to work and wear makeup the same day
Is HIFU Skin Tightening Safe?
HIFU is a well-established, non-invasive treatment. Temporary redness, swelling, tingling or tenderness can occur. Rarely, temporary numbness or small bruises may appear. Careful mapping and correct depth settings keep the treatment safe and comfortable.
Please tell the doctor before treatment if you have:
- Pregnancy
- Open wounds, active acne or infection in the area
- Metal implants or electronic devices in the treatment area
- Very severe skin laxity (surgery may be more suitable)
- Recent fillers in the area (timing to be discussed)
