HIFU – High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound
HIFU, or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that employs ultrasound energy to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. HIFU, also known as a non-surgical facelift, targets the deeper layers of the skin, which are treated during cosmetic surgery, without the need for incisions, needles, or recovery time.
At Linde DermaLab London, we use cutting-edge HIFU technology to promote collagen synthesis and firm up regions like the face, neck, and décolletage. The therapy is perfect for people who want to look naturally lifted and younger without having to undergo surgery.
How does HIFU work?
HIFU works by providing precise ultrasonic energy to the skin’s deeper structural layers, including the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS), which is the foundation for facial shapes. This energy produces moderate heat at specified depths, resulting in controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural healing reaction.
As new collagen and elastin fibres are created over the next several weeks and months, the skin gradually becomes firmer, tighter, and smoother. The beauty of HIFU is that it produces gradual results: while some patients notice an immediate lift, the most substantial benefits often show after two to three months and can last up to six months as collagen renews.
The treatment is safe, precise, and personalised to your specific requirements. Linde DermaLab’s skilled practitioners use advanced imaging and energy-mapping tools to ensure that each pulse is administered to the correct depth and intensity for your skin type and problem.
What are the benefits of HIFU?
HIFU offers a wide range of benefits that make it one of the most popular non-surgical skin-lifting procedures available today:
- Non-invasive and no downtime: You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.
- Natural results: HIFU stimulates your body’s own collagen production, creating gradual, authentic improvement rather than an artificial look.
- Long-lasting effects: Results can last up to 18 months or longer, depending on age, lifestyle, and skincare routine.
- Precision treatment: It targets multiple layers of the skin for comprehensive tightening and contouring.
- Versatile application: HIFU can effectively treat the face, jawline, neck, under-chin area, and décolletage.
Patients often report improved skin elasticity, reduced sagging, and a noticeable lift around the brows, cheeks, and jawline. Fine lines and wrinkles also appear softer, while the overall complexion looks fresher and more rejuvenated.
Who is an ideal candidate for HIFU?
HIFU is appropriate for both men and women who are experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, such as sagging around the jawline, drooping brows, or a loss of firmness in the cheeks and neck. It is a great alternative for people in their 30s and 60s who want to postpone or supplement surgical operations.
However, a professional consultation is the most effective way to determine eligibility. Linde DermaLab London’s professionals will thoroughly analyse your skin, discuss your goals, and create a treatment plan that produces the most natural and effective results.
What to expect after treatment
Following a HIFU session, there may be mild redness or slight tenderness, which typically subsides within a few hours. No special aftercare is required, though we recommend maintaining good hydration and using quality skincare to support the collagen-building process.
Because HIFU encourages your skin to regenerate from within, patience is key. Over the next few months, you’ll notice your skin gradually lifting and tightening , giving you a fresher, more youthful appearance that still looks entirely like you.
