HIFU is one of the most exciting developments of recent years. It combines lifting, structural improvement and selective fat reduction – entirely without a scalpel – and thus opens up new possibilities for patients seeking gentle, effective treatments.
How HIFU Works
HIFU stands for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. Focused ultrasound energy is delivered precisely into deep skin layers without damaging the surface.
The Ultraformer III® heats the target tissue to up to 75 °C for milliseconds. The controlled heat triggers shrinkage reactions and intensive new collagen formation – the skin tightens from within.
Technology with Deep Effect
Different applicators treat skin depths from 1.5 to 9 millimetres, allowing the dermis, SMAS layer and subcutaneous fat to be addressed individually. The energy acts exclusively in the target area, leaving surrounding tissue unharmed.
An initial lifting effect is visible after just one session, which is enhanced over the following weeks through natural collagen regeneration. There is no downtime; mild redness subsides within hours.
- ✓No incisions, no scarring, no anaesthesia
- ✓Immediately visible tightening, full results after 2–3 months
- ✓Can be combined with radiofrequency, skin boosters or injection treatments
Areas of Application on the Face
HIFU defines the jawline, reduces a double chin and tightens the cheeks. Brow lifting, treatment of crow's feet or the forehead are also among the strengths of this method.
Smoker's lines around the upper lip, marionette lines or a sagging décolletage can also be targeted and smoothed – always with a focus on natural results.
- ✓Eyes: crow's feet, brow lifting, under-eye bags
- ✓Face: cheeks, nasolabial folds, jawline
- ✓Neck & décolletage: contouring and structural improvement
Body Contouring and Fat Reduction
On the body, HIFU tightens upper arms, the abdomen, hips or thighs. Localised fat deposits – such as at the bra line, around the knees or in the area of a double chin – can also be reduced.
The treatment is a suitable alternative for patients who wish to tighten without surgery or who want to precisely sculpt contours following weight loss.
- ✓Bingo wings, axillary fat and abdominal wall
- ✓Hips, buttocks, saddlebags or inner thighs
- ✓Knees, calves and small fat deposits on the back
Naturally Firmer – Without Downtime
HIFU is particularly attractive for busy patients: the treatment takes 30 to 90 minutes depending on the area, after which you can return to your daily routine without restriction. Long-term, you benefit from a regenerated, firmer skin structure.
