Make an appointmentWhat is HIFU technology?
HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) treatment is a non-invasive, non-surgical technique for skin rejuvenation. This device uses highly precise ultrasound technology delivered in short pulses or bursts, thanks to handpieces working at different depths.
The highly targeted use of ultrasound remodels existing collagen and stimulates the appearance of new collagen in areas where skin slackening is to be combated .
HIFU treatment is ideal for people seeking to improve the appearance of their skin by reducing signs of aging, particularly on the face, such as wrinkles, fine lines and loss of firmness, while avoiding the need for surgery. There is no scarring or recovery period. This treatment can be performed all year round, even in summer, and on all skin types.
How does HIFU technology work?
HIFU technology creates a large number of coagulation points at a temperature of over 70 degrees. During a session, between 7,500 and 15,000 coagulation points are created per treatment depth. The skin’s natural healing process then enables the production of new elastin and collagen fibers.

Frequently asked questions
Is it painful?
Discomfort levels vary from person to person. However, most patients tolerate the procedure very well with a simple anaesthetic cream. Discomfort associated with the treatment is temporary, and activities can be resumed immediately.

The result
The results of HIFU treatment can be seen as early as the first session, although additional sessions may be required for optimum results.
The skin is gradually tightened bythe synthesis of new collagen, while fat is gradually eliminated through natural channels. The result becomes definitive 2 to 3 months after the HIFU session. Results can last up to 2 years, depending on skin quality and lifestyle.
HIFU treatment can be combined with other treatments for optimum results, such as facial hyaluronic acid injections.
