HIFU Non-Surgical Lifting
At Image Clinic, we offer HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) skin tightening to help lift, firm, and contour the face and body without surgery, needles, or downtime. HIFU is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that targets deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and improve skin laxity from within.
What Is HIFU?
HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to heat precise depths beneath the skin—reaching layers that traditional treatments cannot. This controlled thermal energy triggers your body’s natural collagen-building response, resulting in gradual tightening, lifting, and improved skin texture over time.
Unlike lasers or RF treatments, HIFU works below the surface without damaging the skin’s outer layers.

FAQ's
Have questions? We have the answers! Explore our FAQ section to find everything you need to know.
Is HIFU safe?
Yes. HIFU is a safe and FDA-cleared technology when performed by trained professionals. It has been used in medical and aesthetic treatments worldwide for years.
The ultrasound energy is delivered at precise depths beneath the skin without damaging the surface. At Image Clinic, every treatment is customized to your skin and anatomy to ensure safety, comfort, and optimal results.
What Results Can I Expect?
Results develop gradually, as your body produces new collagen.
• Initial tightening may be felt within weeks
• Visible lifting and firming appears over 8–12 weeks
• Continued improvement for up to 6 months
• Results can last 12–18 months depending on skin condition and lifestyle
HIFU does not replace surgical lifting but offers a natural, refreshed look with no drastic changes.
How soon will I see results?
Some clients notice mild tightening immediately after treatment, but HIFU results develop gradually.
• Initial improvements may be felt within a few weeks
• Visible lifting and firming typically appear at 8–12 weeks
• Collagen production continues to improve results for up to 6 months
Because HIFU works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen, patience is key for the best outcome.
How many treatments will I need?
Many clients see results with one treatment, while others benefit from a series of 2–3 sessions, depending on skin laxity, age, and desired outcome.
Your provider will recommend a personalized plan during your consultation.
Does the treatment hurt?
Discomfort levels vary from person to person. Most clients describe the sensation as brief heat, tingling, or pressure during certain pulses.
Treatments are quick, and the sensation stops as soon as the energy is delivered. We adjust treatment settings to ensure comfort while still delivering effective results. Any tenderness after treatment is usually mild and temporary.
