What is HIFU Treatment?
HIFU Treatment (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive procedure that uses focused ultrasound energy to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. It targets deep layers beneath the skin’s surface, stimulating collagen production to improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines and sagging.
This treatment is ideal for the face, neck, and décolletage, offering a natural, non-surgical alternative to facelifts with minimal downtime. Results gradually improve over time, leaving you with smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin.
UltraLift HIFU Facial
The UltraLift HIFU Facial is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses advanced HIFU technology to target deeper layers of the skin. By focusing on the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer, it stimulates collagen production, resulting in natural, long-lasting skin tightening and lifting.
This treatment is ideal for those seeking a non-surgical facelift, addressing concerns like sagging skin, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. With minimal downtime and impressive results, the UltraLift HIFU Facial offers an effective solution for youthful, firmer skin.

Side effects of a HIFU Facial
HIFU facials are generally considered safe and non-invasive, with minimal side effects. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, some individuals may experience temporary effects, including:
- Redness: Mild redness in the treated area is common and typically subsides within a few hours to a day.
- Swelling: Some clients may experience slight swelling, which usually fades within 1 to 2 days after the treatment.
- Soreness or Sensitivity: You may feel mild discomfort or sensitivity in the treated areas, similar to a mild sunburn, but this should resolve quickly.
- Tingling or Numbness: Some individuals report a tingling sensation in the treated area, which is a normal response as the skin stimulates collagen production.
- Bruising: In rare cases, small bruises may form, particularly if the skin is more sensitive.
These side effects are typically short-lived and a sign that the skin is responding to the treatment. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner to ensure optimal results and minimise any potential discomfort.
HIFU Facial After Care
After your HIFU facial, following the proper aftercare routine is essential to ensure optimal results and promote healing. Here are some important aftercare guidelines to follow:
- Avoid Sun Exposure
Protect your skin from direct sunlight for at least 1-2 weeks after the treatment. Apply a high SPF sunscreen (50+) to the treated area when going outside to avoid pigmentation or irritation.
- Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and support the body’s natural healing process.
- Avoid Heat
For 24-48 hours post-treatment, refrain from activities that may cause excessive heat, such as saunas, hot showers, or strenuous exercise. This helps prevent any unnecessary irritation or inflammation in the treated area.
- Gentle Skin Care
Use gentle, fragrance-free skincare products and avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, or chemical peels for 1-2 weeks to allow your skin to heal properly.
- No Massage or Scrubbing
Avoid massaging or scrubbing the treated areas for at least 7 days after the treatment, as this may disrupt the collagen-stimulating process.
- Limit Alcohol and Blood Thinners
For at least 48 hours, avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications (like aspirin) to reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.
- Follow-Up
If you experience any unusual discomfort or side effects, or if you have concerns about your recovery, don’t hesitate to contact your practitioner for guidance.
Benefits of HIFU Treatment
We use targeted ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer, smoother skin without the need for surgery or extended downtime.
- Non-Surgical Lifting & Tightening: HIFU works deep within the skin to stimulate collagen production, lifting and tightening areas that have lost firmness over time.
- Enhanced Jawline & Reduced Double Chin: The treatment enhances definition, particularly around the jawline and chin, improving overall facial contours.
- Targeted & Versatile: HIFU can treat areas such as the face, neck, décolletage, and body, including the abdomen and thighs, offering a full-body rejuvenation.
- Minimal Downtime: Unlike traditional facelifts, HIFU involves minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities almost immediately.
- Long-Lasting Results: Results from HIFU can last up to a year or more, with occasional maintenance treatments to keep your skin firm and youthful.
- Clinically Proven & Safe: HIFU is a safe, FDA-approved treatment that has been clinically proven to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles without the risks of surgery.
- Quick & Convenient: Treatment sessions are efficient, typically lasting 30 to 90 minutes, making it a great option for those with busy schedules.
- Customised for You: At Hampstead Aesthetics, we personalise each HIFU treatment to your specific skin needs, ensuring the best possible results.

HIFU Facial Procedure
Step 1: Skin Assessment & Preparation
We begin with a thorough consultation to assess your skin’s condition and discuss your aesthetic goals. This allows us to tailor the HIFU treatment to your unique needs for optimal results.
Step 2: Ultrasound Energy Delivery
Using the advanced 5D HIFU SMAS Focus V system, we deliver high-intensity ultrasound energy deep into the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer. This energy stimulates collagen and elastin production, targeting the skin’s deeper layers for effective lifting and tightening.
Step 3: Deep Tissue Lifting & Firming
The ultrasound energy works to contract and lift sagging skin, naturally tightening the treated area over the coming months. The process encourages the skin to regain its firmness and elasticity, leading to a rejuvenated appearance.
Step 4: Post-Treatment Hydration & Glow Finish
After the procedure, we apply a soothing serum and SPF to calm the skin, lock in moisture, and protect it from external elements. This helps maintain hydration and supports the healing process.
Results
While you may notice an immediate lifting effect, the full results will continue to develop over the next 3-6 months as collagen production increases and the skin becomes visibly firmer, smoother, and more youthful.

Crow’s Feet (Smile Lines at the Eyes)
These fine lines appear at the outer corners of the eyes. Botox effectively reduces their appearance while preserving your natural smile.
Eyebrow Lift
A subtle brow lift using Botox can open up the eye area, creating a refreshed look without surgery.
Bunny Lines (Nose Wrinkles)
Tiny diagonal lines appear on the sides of your nose when you smile or scrunch. Botox helps soften these lines for a smoother nasal bridge.
