HIFU

What the Treatment Does

As skin ages, it gradually loses firmness and elasticity, resulting in drooping cheeks, jowls, a less defined jawline, and loose neck skin. Many patients wish to avoid surgery but are looking to address skin laxity without undergoing surgery.

HIFU face lifting uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to target collagen-rich layers of the skin and SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system). The energy delivered is intended to support the skin’s natural healing response, which may encourage collagen activity depending on individual response. Over time, some individuals may notice changes in skin firmness and texture, depending on individual response, while preserving natural facial expression.

Patients typically choose non-surgical face lift HIFU for:

Suitability

A consultation with a qualified doctor in Singapore is essential to assess skin laxity, facial structure, and aesthetic goals, ensuring HIFU treatment is safe and effective for each individual.

Step 1: Consultation & Assessment

The doctor evaluates your skin laxity, facial anatomy, and lifting goals to design a personalised treatment plan.

Step 2: Skin Preparation

The treatment area is cleansed, and ultrasound gel is applied. A topical numbing cream may be used for comfort.

Step 3: Ultrasound-Guided Energy Delivery

The HIFU device delivers focused ultrasound energy at three key layers:

  • Superficial Dermis (1.5 mm): improves fine lines and texture
  • Deep Dermis (3.0 mm): support collagen activity, depending on individual response
  • SMAS Layer (4.5 mm): targets deeper tissue layers associated with skin support structures

Step 4: Targeted Lifting by Area

Energy is applied strategically based on clinical assessment to address skin laxity concerns.

Step 5: Gradual Results

Collagen regenerates over 2–3 months, enhancing firmness, contour, and skin texture.

Step 6: Follow-Up & Maintenance

Results are monitored during follow-up reviews. Maintenance sessions may be discussed during consultation, depending on individual response.
