What is HIFU, anyway?

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, commonly known as HIFU, is an innovative beauty technology that uses the power of ultrasound to reaches deep beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production and promote cell regeneration in a more natural, non-invasive way than other facial treatments like chemical peeling, microdermabrasion, or fractional laser. HIFU therapy is mostly used for face-lift and skin tightening.

So, how does HIFU treatment work?

Hailed for its anti-aging wonders, HIFU is considered a form of "Ultherapy" (Ultrasound Therapy) as it uses ultrasound to safely lift and tighten the skin for your face and neck to achieve a younger-looking appearance. HIFU procedure focuses ultrasound energy to penetrate beyond the dermis and foundation layers to target-treat structural damages deep within your skin, whereas light therapy and laser treatment can only work on the superficial skin layer. That's why HIFU facial treatment is becoming a popular go-to, particularly HIFU facelift and HIFU skin tightening treatment, for people who have more mature skin with signs of aging.

*HIFU treatment utilises deep penetrating sound energy which might trigger sensitivity or other reactions for those who are pregnant or patients with heart disease. Please consult your doctor and seek professional advice before proceeding with a HIFU treatment.
