Brighton’s HIFU Facial Treatment Experts
This advanced treatment uses focused ultrasound energy to target the deeper layers of facial tissue, offering a non-surgical solution for lifting, tightening, and rejuvenating the face, jawline, and neck.
Platinum HIFU reaches the SMAS layer—the same layer targeted in surgical facelifts—stimulating intense collagen production and remodelling from within. Just one session can lead to visible improvements in skin firmness, contour, and overall tone.
Put simply, HIFU helps reveal smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin—no needles, no downtime, just natural results.

Summary of HIFU benefits:
What is HIFU and how does it work?
What is HIFU for the Face?
HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound—a non-invasive facial treatment that uses ultrasound energy to target the skin’s deeper layers (epidermis, dermis, and SMAS) without damaging the surface. The goal? To stimulate collagen production, firm the skin, and deliver natural lifting and tightening effects.
How It Works
HIFU delivers concentrated ultrasound energy at precise depths—1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm—depending on your skin’s needs. These pulses heat the tissue at targeted layers to around 60–70°C, creating tiny thermal ‘wounds’ below the surface. This triggers your body’s healing response, resulting in:
-
Instant collagen contraction
-
Long-term collagen regeneration over 4–12 weeks
-
A gradual, visible lift and improved skin texture
Depth-Targeted Results for the Face
-
1.5 mm: Targets fine lines and surface texture
-
3.0 mm: Reaches the deeper dermis for firmness and elasticity
-
4.5 mm: Stimulates the SMAS layer—the same layer lifted in surgical facelifts—for real structural lifting
No Downtime, Natural Results
Because the energy bypasses the surface of the skin, there’s no damage, no needles, and no downtime. Results develop naturally over time, peaking around 3 to 6 months post-treatment.

What Our Clients Have To Say
HIFU Treatment FAQ’s
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive treatment that lifts, firms, and rejuvenates the skin. It works by delivering focused ultrasound energy deep beneath the surface to stimulate collagen production and tighten underlying tissue. This results in natural-looking facial lifting without surgery or downtime.
Yes. HIFU is safe for all skin tones and is most suitable for clients aged 30+ experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity. It’s an excellent option for those looking to prevent or reverse early signs of ageing without injectables or surgery.
HIFU can be used to target multiple areas of the face and neck, including:
- Jawline and jowls
- Cheeks
- Nasolabial folds
- Brow area
- Neck and décolletage
It’s particularly effective for lifting sagging skin and defining facial contours.
You may feel a warming or tingling sensation as the energy penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, but most clients find the treatment comfortable. Any discomfort is brief and a reassuring sign that the collagen-stimulating process is taking place.
No. HIFU is a non-invasive treatment with zero downtime. You can return to your normal routine immediately after your session. In some cases, you may experience slight redness, tingling, or mild swelling, which fades quickly.
Some clients notice an immediate improvement in skin tightness. However, the full results develop gradually over 4 – 12 weeks as new collagen forms. The skin continues to improve in texture, lift, and firmness during this time.
Results from a single HIFU treatment can last up to 12–18 months, depending on your skin’s condition and lifestyle. Many clients choose to have a maintenance session once per year to keep results at their best.
