How do
HIFU SKIN TIGHTENING WORK?
As a natural protein, collagen works to give skin its youthfulness by keeping it firm and toned. As we age, collagen breaks down, and the result is a loss of skin strength and elasticity. That’s where HIFU steps in and lifts up, through ultrasound therapy.
Unlike lasers, radio frequency, surgery, and other technologies, nonsurgical HIFU bypasses the surface of the skin through ultrasound energy with focused imaging to target just the right amount at the right depths and the right temperature. The result is a jumpstart to your body’s own collagen production.

What to expect?
You can return to your normal activities immediately after your procedure without any post-treatment restrictions or requirements. Your skin might appear flushed at first, but the redness should disappear within a few hours. Some patients experience slight swelling, tingling, or tenderness to the touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature.
How long does it last?
Since the procedure stimulates a person’s own collagen production, how long the results last depends on the individual. While results appear over two to three months, they can last up to 1 year or more. The treatment produces new collagen on the inside, but the individual’s natural aging process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the outside. Future touch-up treatments can help provide more control over the aging process, which varies by individual
Does Ultherapy Hifu Skin Lifting hurt?
As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, stimulating the collagen-building process. Comfort levels vary from person to person, but the sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is being delivered.
