Get to know HIFU: What is it? Does it hurt? Is it dangerous? How long does it last after a skin tightening?
- HIFU or High Intensity Focus Ultrasound is a skin tightening procedure that can be done on the face, cheeks, chin, neck, arms, thighs, and other parts of the body. It uses a specific machine to tighten the skin and body shape, stimulate collagen production, and help reduce fine lines. Currently, the "HIFU" procedure is very popular and people are very interested in it because it has many benefits. In addition, there is no need to rest after the procedure. The results of the change will be seen immediately after the procedure and will be clearly seen after about 1 month.

What does HIFU help with?
For those who want to know what "HIFU" helps with, in general, as we age, our skin will start to sag and lose firmness, causing our face to start to have deep wrinkles in various areas, such as under the eyes, cheek grooves, or mouth corner grooves. This is caused by the stretching of collagen and elastin. Therefore, the HIFU machine has the ability to lift and tighten the skin and can stimulate collagen in every layer of the skin and create new tissue. This newly created tissue will be firmer and tighter than before.

How does HIFU work?
- HIFU is a skin tightening technology. It works by sending focused ultrasound waves into the deep skin to stimulate the body to create new collagen. The HIFU machine that has been certified must release consistent energy while shooting the waves. In the procedure, you can choose the shooting head that is suitable for your skin level.
In addition, the HIFU machine also has a variety of shooting heads according to the depth of the skin layer. The shooting heads can be divided into 3 levels as follows:
- Upper Dermis : Use a 1.5-2.0 mm. depth head to help lift and reduce wrinkles at a shallow level and help stimulate collagen.
- Lower Dermis : Use a 3 mm. depth head to help lift and tighten the face, reduce fat and cellulite.
- The muscular system layer (SMAS) is the layer used in facelift surgery to tighten. Use a 4.5 mm. depth head to help tighten muscles and lift the cheeks to be fuller.
Where can HIFU be performed?
It can be performed on any area that needs lifting because there are multiple depths of HIFU heads, which can effectively lift and tighten the skin in each area. The areas where the results are clearly visible are divided into 2 parts:
- Face : double chin, neck, corners of the mouth, cheeks, cheekbones, under the eyes, forehead, upper eyelids, and jawline
- Body : upper arms, thighs, waist, abdomen, and hips
How many lines does each HIFU need?
Generally, the number of lines used in HIFU will be determined by the expert based on the location or suitability, as well as the skin condition, sagging, and the number of lines of each individual. On average, the number of lines used is as follows:
- Lifting the corners of the eyes, cheeks, or double chin (approximately 120 lines)
- Cheeks and double chin (approximately 300 lines)
- Under the eyes, cheek grooves, double chin (approximately 400 lines)
- All over the face, neck, or thighs (approximately 700 lines)
Does HIFU hurt?
- HIFU does hurt! But it is bearable. Before the procedure, anesthesia will be applied to reduce pain. During the procedure, patients may feel a bit sore and tight because the energy is going under the skin. If they can tolerate the pain, the results will be better for the lifting.
How many days does it take to see results after HIFU?
- After HIFU, you can see the results from the first procedure. The skin will be lifted by 30%. After that, within 1-2 months, it will gradually become firmer and the results will be fully visible in 4-6 months. If you want your skin to be firmer, you can do additional procedures every 3 months to allow the fibroblast cells to produce collagen. Then, repeat every 6 months to maintain the results and prevent sagging in the future.
How many days does HIFU swelling last?
- After HIFU, it is normal to have swelling, especially if you use a high-grade, high-energy machine. The swelling will last for 1-2 weeks. At the same time, the results will last longer.
How long does HIFU last? How many months does it last?
- After HIFU, it lasts for about 5-6 months. In some cases, the results may last up to 1 year. It depends on whether the patient can tolerate the pain or not. Including taking care of yourself after the procedure correctly will make the results last longer.
Therefore, HIFU is a method of skin tightening, solving sagging skin problems, and helping the skin to be firmer, smoother, and look younger with visible results. To be worthwhile and safe, you should study the information carefully and choose to do it at a reliable clinic and use a standard HIFU machine.
