HIFU
Skin Tightening
HIFU is a highly sought skin tightening treatment due to its non-invasive nature and efficacy. It applies high intensity focused ultrasound to the layer under the skin to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenation. It is particularly effective for jowl lifting and tightening.
What to Expect
The procedure may be uncomfortable depending on the location of the treatment. You will see immediate results after the treatment but the best results are 3 months later as your body produces more collagen. Results will last the whole year and it is recommended to have a touch-up after 1-2 years, depending on how well you take care of your skin. It will appear pinkish post treatment but otherwise there is little downtime.
