What Is HIFU?
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-surgical face-lift technology that focuses ultrasound energy into the deep skin layers (SMAS — the layer addressed in surgical face-lift) to stimulate collagen production and tighten tissue. Visible tightening in a single session, full lifting effect in 3-6 months. FDA approved.
