HIFU Non-Surgical Face Lift

WHAT IS HIFU?

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive lifting treatment that targets deep structural layers of the skin, including the SMAS (the same layer tightened during a surgical facelift). By delivering focused ultrasound energy beneath the surface, it lifts sagging tissues, tightens loose skin, and stimulates collagen — all without incisions, anesthesia, or recovery time.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

HIFU depth levels and energy settings are customized by the provider.
Stacking with CO2 resurfacing or RF treatments may enhance outcomes.

HOW HIFU WORKS

Precise Ultrasound Targeting

HIFU delivers focused ultrasound energy at multiple depths (1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm). These depths target the deep dermis and SMAS layer, allowing powerful tightening where the skin’s support structure resides.

Thermal Coagulation Points (TCPs)

The ultrasound creates micro “heat points” that trigger collagen contraction. These points activate a strong wound-healing response that boosts collagen and elastin over time.

Deep Tissue Lifting

By tightening the SMAS — the same layer addressed in facelift surgery — HIFU lifts the jawline, cheeks, and neck without cutting the skin.

Gradual Regeneration and Firming

New collagen forms over several months, revealing firmer, tighter, and more lifted skin with natural progression.

BENEFITS

Non-Surgical Skin Lifting

HIFU lifts sagging tissues without downtime or surgical risk.

Improves Jawline & Chin Definition

Tightening deeper layers helps sharpen the jawline and reduce under-chin laxity.

Collagen-Boosting Anti-Aging Effect

Long-term collagen production improves firmness, elasticity, and fine lines.

No Downtime or Recovery

Most patients return to normal activity immediately after treatment.

Dr. Le is super knowledgeable and talented. It makes a huge difference to have a physician with ample dermatology, anatomy and surgery knowledge, perform a procedure like this one. Why would anybody have an aesthetician do this or any cosmetic procedure if you can have an experienced medical professional? I’ve done lasers before, but this was by far the best. My skin looks amazing.

I had a positive experience and highly recommend Dr. Le. I found him to be quite professional and a pleasant man. Upon arriving, I was put under a local anesthetic … I have circled it in my “after” photo. As you can see, I had no swelling, minimal bruising and no real discomfort to speak of. I did not require anything for pain.

Kennin was amazing! She really takes pride in her work. The entire staff was very friendly. A great clinic. Go!!!

Dr Le is very knowledgeable. He gave me the advice I need to achieve the goals I want. I look forward to coming back. The nurse was very sweet!
