HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
Non-Surgical Facelift & Skin Tightening
At Skinova Aesthetics, our High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment represents a groundbreaking approach to facial rejuvenation. Unlike traditional methods, this innovative technology harnesses precise ultrasound energy to naturally lift and tighten sagging skin—without injections, incisions, or recovery time.
The HIFU Treatment Journey
Step 1 – Skin Preparation & Cleansing
First, your skin is gently cleansed to remove impurities. Next, we apply a specialized ultrasound gel to ensure optimal energy transmission. This step is crucial because it allows the device to glide smoothly while protecting your skin’s surface.
Step 2 – Precision Ultrasound Mapping
Using advanced imaging technology, we carefully analyze your facial contours. Then, we map out key treatment zones to customize energy delivery. This personalized approach ensures that every area—from the jawline to the brow—receives targeted attention.
Step 3 – Deep Collagen Stimulation
Once mapping is complete, the HIFU device delivers focused ultrasound waves beneath the skin’s surface. As the energy penetrates, it creates controlled thermal zones that immediately tighten existing collagen fibers. Meanwhile, the heat triggers your body’s natural healing response, gradually boosting new collagen production over time.
Step 4 – Soothing Aftercare & Results Review
After treatment, we apply a calming serum to reduce redness and enhance recovery. Finally, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you maintain—and even improve—your results in the weeks ahead.
