High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is the most advanced, non-invasive technology available for facial and body skin tightening. HIFU stimulates your body’s natural collagen production to tighten and lift sagging skin, reduce wrinkles, and improve the appearance of your skin on the face, abdomen, legs, and other areas of the body.
At Clinic Visjeune, we offer HIFU treatments for both the face and body, providing remarkable, long-lasting results without the need for surgery or downtime. Whether you want a more defined jawline, firmer skin on your abdomen, or smoother thighs, HIFU is the perfect solution for natural, youthful-looking skin.
HIFU uses focused ultrasound waves to penetrate the skin layers, targeting the deeper dermal layers and stimulating collagen production. This process results in the natural tightening and lifting of the skin, as well as improved texture and firmness. Unlike traditional facelifts or body lifts, HIFU offers the benefits of skin rejuvenation without the need for invasive procedures, needles, or downtime.
HIFU is suitable for individuals who want to improve the firmness and appearance of their skin without the need for surgery. It is an excellent option for:
- Individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity
- People looking for a non-surgical facelift or body lift
- Those seeking a smoother, tighter abdomen or thighs
- People who have lost weight and wish to tighten loose skin
- Individuals with signs of aging, such as wrinkles, sagging skin, and fine lines
- Those who want natural, subtle results without downtime
HIFU is versatile and can be used to tighten and rejuvenate skin on various parts of the body:
Facial Treatments:
- Jawline lifting
- Chin and neck tightening
- Brow lifting
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
- Smoothing of sagging skin on the face and neck
-Body Treatments:
- Abdomen: Tightening of loose skin post-weight loss, post-pregnancy, or for overall skin rejuvenation
- Legs: Tightening and smoothing of the thighs, particularly in areas with cellulite or loose skin
- Upper arms: Reduction of sagging and tightening of the skin on the upper arms
- Buttocks: Firming and lifting the skin
