HIFU – High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound

Non-surgical skin tightening at JMF Skin and Body Co

HIFU is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses targeted ultrasound energy to lift, firm, and tighten skin — without needles, surgery, or downtime. By delivering precise energy to the deeper structural layers of the skin (including the SMAS layer targeted in surgical facelifts), HIFU stimulates your body’s own collagen production for natural-looking results that improve over time.

Benefits

• Lifts and tightens sagging skin

• Improves jawline definition and reduces jowls

• Smooths fine lines and wrinkles

• Firms skin on the face, neck, and décolletage

• Stimulates long-lasting collagen production

How HIFU Works

HIFU technology focuses ultrasound energy into specific layers beneath the skin’s surface. This creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body’s healing response and collagen regeneration — tightening skin from the inside out.

Treatment Areas

• Full face and neck

• Brow lift and eye area

• Jawline and jowls

• Décolletage (chest)

• Body areas for skin firming (stomach, arms, knees)

What to Expect

Consultation – Your therapist will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and ensure HIFU is suitable for you.
Treatment – A handheld device delivers ultrasound energy at varying depths. You may feel mild heat or tingling during pulses.
Aftercare – No downtime is required; you can return to normal activities straight away.

Results & Timeline

• Skin feels tighter immediately after treatment (due to initial tissue contraction).

• Collagen production increases over the next 8–12 weeks.

• Results can last 12–18 months depending on age, skin quality, and lifestyle.

Number of Sessions

Most clients need only one treatment for noticeable results. For deeper lines or more significant laxity, a second session may be recommended 3–6 months later.

Contraindications

HIFU is not suitable for:

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding

• Open wounds or active skin conditions in the treatment area

• Metal implants or pacemakers in the treatment area

• Severe or cystic acne in the treatment area

• Certain neurological conditions (discuss with your therapist)
