Looking for a non-surgical facelift in London that delivers real, long-lasting results? At Hampstead Aesthetics, we specialise in HIFU facial treatments — a revolutionary, FDA-approved solution that lifts, firms, and rejuvenates the skin on your face, neck, and jawline. Best of all? No needles, no surgery, and no downtime.
Our treatments are led by Dr. Chike Emeagi, a renowned aesthetic doctor with years of hands-on experience in non-invasive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Chike is not only a practicing clinician but also a trainer for other medical professionals, ensuring his expertise is shared and continually refined through education and peer recognition.
What is HIFU Skin Tightening and How Does It Work?
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to target the deep layers of the skin. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in a firmer, lifted appearance. It’s often described as a non-surgical facelift because it treats the same layer targeted by cosmetic surgeons — the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System).
Key Benefits of HIFU for Facial Rejuvenation

What Areas Can Be Treated with HIFU?
HIFU can be used to treat a range of areas, including:
Forehead and brow (for a natural brow lift)
Cheeks and nasolabial folds
Jawline and jowls
Décolletage (upper chest)
When to Expect Results from HIFU Treatment
Some clients notice an immediate lift, but the best results develop over 2–3 months as collagen production increases. Most people enjoy noticeable lifting and firming for up to 18 months with just one treatment.
HIFU vs Radiofrequency and Laser Treatments: What’s Best?
Compared to treatments like radiofrequency, microneedling or laser, HIFU reaches deeper skin layers and delivers more dramatic lifting results. It’s also completely non-invasive, unlike thread lifts or surgical facelifts.
