what is HIFU?
Give skin back its snap
HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to deliver heat into deeper layers of the skin to help lift, firm and tighten and support collagen remodelling — while keeping the skin surface intact.
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is an advanced, non-surgical treatment designed to lift, firm, and tighten the skin while also helping to reduce stubborn pockets of fat. Often referred to as a non-surgical facelift or lunchtime lift, HIFU delivers powerful results with minimal downtime.
Using focused ultrasound energy, HIFU penetrates deep beneath the skin’s surface without damaging the outer layers. The energy is delivered precisely to the deeper structural layers of the skin, including the SMAS layer (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) — the same layer traditionally targeted during surgical facelifts.
Collagen is important for skin health because it is a natural protein that promotes skin suppleness, firmness, hydration, and a youthful glow. Unfortunately, collagen production begins to dwindle as we age. A HIFU Facial lifts, tightens, and firms up loose skin to counteract the effects of both time and gravity. With Focus Dual we can lift, firm, tighten, and sculpt the face, brow, neck and jawline. Areas such as the chest, hands and other parts of the skin and body can also be treated. This treatment will not only give skin back its snap, but it will also naturally kick-start your body to increase the production of collagen and elastin to reduce signs of ageing.
Why we use Lynton
gold-standard medical-grade technology
We only invest in technology we truly trust. Our HIFU is delivered using Lynton Focus Dual — from Lynton, a UK manufacturer known for NHS-backed, medical-grade devices.
Focus Dual combines HIFU with RF microneedling capability, and is designed to target different skin layers by adjusting focal depths (including the SMAS and dermal layers) so treatments can be tailored to your goal
How does HIFU work?
HIFU works by gently heating targeted tissue at specific depths. This controlled heat triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of new, stronger collagen while reactivating existing collagen that has slowed with age.
Over the following weeks, collagen continues to rebuild and strengthen, leading to visibly firmer, tighter, and more lifted skin, with results improving for up to 12 weeks post-treatment.
What can HIFU do?
​​
✧ Lift, Firm & Redefine
HIFU targets the skin’s deepest structural layers, gently lifting and tightening areas affected by sagging or loss of elasticity. The result is a beautifully refreshed, naturally elevated appearance.
​
✧ Rebuild Collagen from Within
By delivering precise ultrasound energy, HIFU stimulates the skin’s own collagen-building process. Over the weeks following treatment, skin becomes progressively firmer, smoother, and more resilient.
​
✧ Sculpt & Refine Facial Contours
HIFU enhances definition in key areas such as the jawline, cheeks, brows, and neck, softening jowls and refining the profile for a more sculpted, youthful look.
​
✧ Target Stubborn Fat with Precision
When applied at specific depths, HIFU gently breaks down unwanted fat cells in areas resistant to diet and exercise — including the abdomen, arms, thighs, flanks, and under the chin. The body naturally eliminates these fat cells while the skin tightens around newly refined contours.
​
✧ Face & Body Rejuvenation — Without Surgery
Completely non-invasive and expertly controlled, HIFU delivers transformative results without needles, incisions, or recovery time — making it the ultimate choice for discreet, luxury skin rejuvenation.

HIFU for Fat Reduction & Body Contouring
HIFU isn’t just for the face and neck — it’s also highly effective for body sculpting and fat reduction.
When ultrasound energy is delivered at specific depths, it can break down fat cells in targeted areas such as:
-
Abdomen
-
Thighs
-
Arms
-
Flanks
-
Bra line
-
Double chin
The heat causes fat cells to rupture, after which the body naturally eliminates them through the lymphatic system. At the same time, the surrounding skin tightens, making HIFU ideal for contouring, firming, and smoothing — not just shrinking fat.

​
Your Bespoke HIFU Treatment
On the day of treatment, the targeted area is cleansed and prepared before ultrasound energy is delivered at carefully selected depths. The treatment is expertly controlled to ensure precision, comfort, and optimal results.
You may experience sensations of warmth or tingling as the ultrasound energy works beneath the surface — a sign that collagen production and tissue tightening are being activated.
After Your Treatment
HIFU requires little to no downtime, allowing you to return to your day immediately. Some clients may notice mild redness or slight tenderness, which typically resolves within a few hours.
While some initial tightening may be visible straight away, results develop gradually as your body produces new collagen. Skin continues to improve over the following 8–12 weeks, revealing a more lifted, sculpted, and refined appearance.

FAQ'S
Is HIFU the same as a facelift?
No — HIFU is a non-surgical treatment. We’ll be honest about what it can and can’t do for your starting point. But we can get amazing results!
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your goals and your skin. We’ll recommend a plan after assessing you.
Why does medical-grade matter?
Because settings, safety, and consistency matter. We use Lynton Focus Dual so we can tailor treatment depths and parameters appropriately
Is HIFU safe?
Yes. HIFU is a clinically proven, non-invasive treatment that has been used safely in aesthetic medicine for many years. When performed by a trained professional, it is a highly controlled and precise procedure that targets deep layers of the skin without damaging the surface.
Does HIFU hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as mild to moderate warmth or tingling as the ultrasound energy is delivered. Sensitivity varies depending on the treatment area, but comfort is always prioritised and carefully managed throughout your session.
When will I see results?
Some clients notice a subtle tightening immediately. However, the most significant results develop gradually as collagen production increases. Skin continues to improve for up to 8–12 weeks following treatment.
How long do results last?
Results can last 12–18 months, depending on age, skin condition, and lifestyle. Many clients choose a maintenance treatment once a year to preserve optimal results.
Can HIFU be used on the body?
Yes. HIFU is suitable for both the face and body. It can be used to tighten skin and reduce stubborn fat in areas such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, flanks, and under the chin.
How does HIFU reduce fat?
At specific depths, the ultrasound energy disrupts targeted fat cells. These fat cells are then naturally eliminated by the body, while the surrounding skin tightens for smoother, more refined contours.
Is there any downtime?
There is little to no downtime. You may experience mild redness, tenderness, or slight swelling, which typically resolves within a few hours. You can return to normal activities immediately.
How many treatments will I need?
Many clients achieve excellent results with just one treatment. Depending on your goals and the area treated, a personalised plan may recommend additional sessions or maintenance treatments.
Is HIFU suitable for everyone?
HIFU is ideal for clients with mild to moderate skin laxity or localised fat. It may not be suitable for everyone, which is why a comprehensive consultation is essential to ensure the best possible outcome.
Why choose your clinic for HIFU?
We pride ourselves on delivering a gold-standard consultation, advanced technology, and expert precision. Every treatment is tailored, results-driven, and performed with the highest level of care, safety, and discretion.
