What is HIFU?

This cutting-edge aesthetic treatment, known as high-intensity focused ultrasound, uses concentrated ultrasound to non-invasively rejuvenate the skin. It stimulates collagen and elastin production in the deep dermis, targeting skin and fat without affecting surrounding tissue. With the ability to work at varying depths, HIFU is ideal for toning and firming the skin, offering visible results that are reflected in HIFU pre- and post-treatment photos.

The benefits of our HIFU treatment

are multiple and particularly effective for the following areas: firming the skin of the face, neck and décolleté, redefining the oval of the face, reducing the appearance of jowls, and lifting drooping eyelids and eyebrows. This high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment offers a non-surgical solution for those seeking to rejuvenate their appearance with natural results.

When to consider HIFU treatment

How does our Clinique médico-esthétique do it?

The HIFU procedure at our clinic begins with a thorough consultation to assess your medical history and determine the suitability of the treatment. We also carefully examine your skin and define its phototype. The actual treatment begins with skin cleansing, followed by the application of a special gel to facilitate ultrasound transmission. The practitioner then uses the HIFU device, precisely adjusting the ultrasound depth for optimal results and effective stimulation of the dermis. Although the treatment is generally painless, slight sensitivity may be felt in certain areas. After the session, any gel residue is washed away, and a soothing cream can be applied to maximize comfort.

The benefits of HIFU

HIFU can be offered to both men and women, and can be performed on all skin types, regardless of color, light or dark. What's more, it can be performed in any season, and sun exposure is not a problem either before or after the treatment. HIFU is not a treatment that makes wrinkles disappear, like injections of fillers or neuromodulators (Botox), but it does prevent their appearance. It is therefore an excellent technique for preventing skin ageing.

Advice from our Medical Aesthetic Clinic:

BEFORE: There are no precautions to be taken before a HIFU session.
DURING: Treatment lasts 30 minutes per area.
The application of an ultrasound gel to the area allows the HIFU to penetrate.
During the treatment, you will feel a very slight warm-up and a localized tingling sensation.
AFTER: A slight sensation of heat may persist after the session, and sometimes a very slight redness.
AFTER: You can resume your activities as soon as the treatment is over.

The results you can expect from our medical-aesthetic clinic:

After HIFU treatment, some patients may notice an immediate improvement in their skin. However, the most significant results appear gradually, peaking 3 to 4 months after the session, when fibroblasts are actively producing new collagen. The lifting effect intensifies over time and can last up to two years. For those with more pronounced skin sagging, additional sessions can be scheduled to reinforce the lifting effect. An annual treatment is recommended to maintain and improve results over the long term.
