Hifu Ultrasound
About High Frequency Ultrasound HIFU
For skin tightening, lifting, and minimizing signs of aging, High-Intensity Frequency Ultrasound (HIFU) is an advanced facial treatment that stimulates levels of collagen production and encourages skin rejuvenation at a cellular level.

How It Works
As a skincare modality, High Frequency is able to leverage focused energy and direct it to the deeper layers of epidermal tissue. This then works to eradicate unhealthy or damaged skin cells, stimulating regeneration and repair functions, including collagen synthesis.
Because collagen is an essential component that creates volume and structure in the skin, encouraging the production of new collagen has many benefits for improving skin firmness and creating a more youthful, supple complexion. This approach also ensures that there is no damage to the superficial layers or surface of the skin.
Key Benefits of Treatment
High Intensity Frequency Ultrasound is most commonly used to treat men and women of all ages who wish to address loss of skin elasticity. As a result of rebuilding healthy collagen levels, studies have shown that HIFU can help tighten sagging skin, helping it appear smoother in areas such as the neck, décolletage, cheeks, jawline, mouth, and around the eyes.
Additionally, it has other potential benefits for improving the skin’s overall appearance including:
-
Encouraging lymphatic drainage
-
Enhancing skincare product performance
-
Improving skin tone and texture
-
Increasing cellular metabolism
-
Mild exfoliation of dead skin cells
-
Reducing the appearance of freckles, age spots, dark undereye circles, and redness
-
Refining enlarged pores
-
Stimulating circulation to nourish the skin
What to Expect
At Derma Elegance, High-Intensity Frequency Ultrasound Facials are administered by an expert technician who will consult with you first to determine the best course of treatment. Sessions of HIFU are quick and virtually painless. A typical service lasts about two hours or less.
During the procedure most clients report only a slightly warm or stinging sensation. We will also apply a topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort. Immediately following a HIFU session, your skin may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness. However, these effects are temporary and should subside within a few hours. Post-procedure, there is no downtime, so you can resume work and other activities right away.
Results from HIFU should begin to appear within a few weeks following treatment, and reach their maximum potential around the three-month mark. When addressing chronic concerns and achieving the best possible outcome, multiple sessions are typically recommended. At your appointment, our staff will discuss recommendations for follow-up visits and provide comprehensive aftercare instructions, in order to ensure your absolute best results.
