What is HIFU Skin Tightening & Lifting Treatment?
Skin aging is a natural and inevitable process, but it can be slowed down with anti-aging treatments such as High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, also commonly referred to as HIFU.
During the aging process, the base of the skin (the dermis layer) starts losing collagen and elastin fibres, resulting in an onset of fine lines and sagging skin.
The High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment tightens the skin with a non-invasive facelift technology. As the name implies, it uses ultrasound energy to promote collagen production. It consists of a high-frequency ultrasound beam that reaches different layers of the skin. The multi-layer skin tightening action results in a firmer and tighter skin without marks or scars.
How does HIFU technology help with skin tightening and lifting?
Penetrating 3 millimetres deep into the skin, it targets the dermis, heating the inner layers of the skin stimulates the natural production of collagen and helps with firming and tightening of the skin.
When the ultrasound waves are targeted at the 4.5 millimetres depth, it stimulates the SMAS layer, triggering a tightening effect that result in excellent skin lifting results.
We can see the effect at 4.5 millimeters depth. Here, the ultrasound stimulates the SMAS layer, triggering a tightening effect that result in skin non-invasive and scalpel-free skin lifting.
HIFU Treatment in Singapore has had many benefits. The most important can be summarized in this list:

- Tightens and lifts the skin in any area of the skin, including the cheeks, eyebrows, neck, chin, and jaw.
- Controls the appearance of new wrinkles, smoothing existing line expressions in the face
- Triggers natural processes in the skin to accelerate healing
- Not time consuming and easy to do
