Do you want to firm and lift your skin without incisions or injections? HIFU is a non-surgical treatment that lifts and tightens the skin from within.

What is a HIFU treatment?

HIFU stands for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. It is a non-surgical treatment that lifts and tightens the skin from within. HIFU uses concentrated ultrasonic waves that penetrate deep into the SMAS layer, where cosmetic surgeons also operate during a facelift. The energy creates local heat and triggers collagen production and the strengthening of fibers.

The treatment requires a medical screening by our skin therapist.

When to consider a HIFU treatment?

HIFU is suitable when you want to address skin laxity and firm contours. HIFU can be a good choice for:

  • Tightening of jawline and neck
  • Lift of cheeks and double chin
  • Improvement of skin in décolletage
  • Firming of body skin

Treatment process

Below, you can read step-by-step how a HIFU treatment proceeds.

Huidtherapeut voert vrijblijvend consult met client voorafgaand aan een huidtherapie behandeling bij The Body Clinic
Free consultation with the skin therapist

During the non-committal consultation, we discuss your wishes, expectations, and any questions. We assess whether HIFU is the right treatment for you, so you know exactly what to expect.

Preparation for the treatment

The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove dirt and any make-up residue. Subsequently, a cooling gel is applied to the area to be treated.

The treatment

The ultrasound head is moved over the skin in the areas to be treated. You will feel short, warm pulses deep in the skin; this is a sign that collagen production is being stimulated. The session typically lasts 30 to 90 minutes.

Recovery at the clinic

If desired, you can rest quietly for a while before resuming your daily activities. The skin therapist will discuss what you can and cannot do in the coming hours and days, so you know how best to care for the treated area.

Pre- and post-care

none provided
Before the treatment
Avoid peels, exfoliating products, sunbathing, and tanning beds for 5 days before the treatment. On the day of treatment, ensure your skin is clean and free of make-up or creams on the area to be treated.
none provided
After the treatment
The HIFU treatment requires no recovery time, but a mild skin reaction is normal. Always use sun protection of at least SPF30+ and avoid intense sun exposure in the first few days after the treatment.
none provided
Recovery time
As the skin is not damaged, there is no recovery time, and the risk of complications is very small. Redness or slight swelling disappears within a few hours. Some people temporarily experience a tingling sensation (similar to muscle soreness) that fades within a few days. Bruises are rare.
none provided
Duration of results
The skin becomes firmer, tighter, and receives a natural lift. The first effects are visible after approximately 8 weeks, and the final result is usually achieved after 3 to 6 months. The results typically last for 1 to 1.5 years. For maintenance, it is often advised to repeat the treatment annually.

Frequently asked questions

Find immediate answers to questions about treatments, costs, and recovery.

  • HIFU is suitable for men and women aged approximately 30 years and older who want to address early signs of skin laxity, such as a less defined jawline, jowls, a looser neck, or slight sagging around the eyebrows. It is a good option for people who do not (yet) want a surgical facelift, but desire a subtle, natural improvement. HIFU is less effective for very loose skin or for clients with a lot of excess skin.

  • Yes, HIFU can be combined with other treatments for optimal results. This should be discussed thoroughly with your skin therapist. During the consultation, discuss your wishes and the possibilities for combination treatments.

  • Although HIFU is a safe and effective treatment, there are a few points to consider. During energy delivery, the treatment can cause a warm or tingling sensation, which some people find uncomfortable. The final result is only fully visible after 3-6 months, which requires patience. HIFU is less suitable for very loose or excess skin – in such cases, a surgical procedure might be more effective. The result is subtle and natural, not a dramatic transformation.
