What is HIFU?
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive treatment for facial lifting and skin tightening. It uses focused ultrasound energy to target the layers of skin just below the surface, stimulating collagen production and resulting in firmer skin over time.
Expected Benefits:
- Non-surgical skin lifting and tightening
- Improvement in facial contour and skin texture
- Minimal to no downtime
Possible Side Effects & Risks:
While HIFU is generally safe, possible side effects include:
- Redness, swelling, or tenderness at the treatment site
- Temporary tingling or numbness
- Bruising or slight discomfort
- Rare risk of burns or skin irregularities
Contraindications:
HIFU treatment is not suitable for individuals who:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have open wounds, infections, or severe acne in the treatment area
- Have metal implants or pacemakers in or near the treated area
- Have certain skin or neurological conditions (e.g., epilepsy)

Please inform your provider if you are unsure about any of the above.
