HIFU
Non-surgical Face Lifting, Skin Tightening and Rejuvenating Treatment
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) at CORE Ceutical Clinic
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment designed to Lift, Tighten, and Rejuvenate the skin. This revolutionary procedure uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin, promoting natural skin tightening and anti-aging effects without the need for surgery or downtime.
The difference
How Does HIFU Work?
HIFU works by delivering focused ultrasound energy to multiple layers of the skin, including the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer, which is typically targeted in facelift surgeries. This energy creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. Over time, the skin becomes firmer, lifted, and more youthful in appearance.
For body treatments, HIFU penetrates deeper to target fat cells, heating them to a point where they break down and are naturally eliminated by the body. This helps in contouring and tightening areas prone to sagging or stubborn fat deposits.

Frequently asked questions about HIFU
What areas can HIFU treat?
HIFU is commonly used for:
- Face (jawline, cheeks, brow, and neck lift)
- Décolletage (chest)
- Body contouring (abdomen, arms, thighs)
How many sessions do I need?
Most clients achieve great results with just one session. However, depending on your skin’s condition and goals, additional sessions may be recommended.
At CORE, we recommend a series of three sessions, spaced one month apart, to kickstart your skincare journey. After that, we suggest maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months to sustain and enhance your results.
When will I see results?
Initial results can be noticed immediately, but the full effect develops over 2–3 months as collagen production increases.
Can I combine HIFU with other treatments?
Yes! HIFU can be combined with other non-invasive treatments such as Advanced Microneedling RF, Radiofrequency, and Microcurrent to enhance results.
What are possible side effects?
HIFU is a safe, FDA-approved treatment, but some clients may experience:
- Mild redness or swelling (resolves within a few hours)
- Temporary tingling or sensitivity
- Slight bruising or numbness in treated areas (rare and temporary)
- For body treatments, some clients may experience mild soreness similar to post-workout effects
These effects typically subside within a few days, leaving you with firmer, healthier-looking skin.
Is HIFU painful?
Most clients experience mild discomfort during the procedure, often described as a warming sensation or slight tingling, especially on bony area line cheek bones and jawlines.
Any discomfort is temporary and tolerable.
How long does a HIFU session take?
A typical session lasts between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
