About the Treatment
Tighten, Lift, and Rejuvenate with HIFU at Clinic Visjeune
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.
The Science
How Does HIFU Work?
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.

Important Information
Who Would Not Benefit from HIFU Treatment
While HIFU is generally safe for most people, there are certain conditions that may prevent you from undergoing the treatment. Contraindications for HIFU include:
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
HIFU should not be performed during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Active Skin Conditions
Individuals with active skin conditions in the treatment area, such as rashes, eczema, or open wounds, should avoid treatment until their skin has healed.
Severe or Uncontrolled Medical Conditions
If you have severe heart disease, diabetes, or other medical conditions that affect the skin or healing process, HIFU may not be suitable.
Pacemakers or Electrical Implants
People with pacemakers or any other electrical implants in the body should not undergo HIFU treatment.
Recent Cosmetic Injections or Surgery
If you have recently had Botox, dermal fillers, or any facial surgeries, it is recommended that you wait at least 2 weeks before having HIFU.
Autoimmune Disorders
Some autoimmune conditions may affect skin healing, making HIFU not suitable.
Active Acne or Severe Rosacea
HIFU may not be ideal for those with active acne or severe rosacea in the treatment area.
The Process
What to Expect During Treatment
Your HIFU treatment at Clinic Visjeune will be tailored to your specific skin concerns. Here's what you can expect:
Consultation
Before your treatment, our specialists will conduct a consultation to assess your skin condition, discuss your goals, and ensure HIFU is right for you. We will also take before-and-after photographs to monitor your results.
Preparation
The treatment area will be cleaned, and a mild numbing cream will be applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure. The specialist will use an ultrasound gel to guide the HIFU device, delivering ultrasound energy to targeted layers of your skin.
Treatment Process
The treatment will take about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. You may feel slight discomfort or warmth during the procedure as the ultrasound waves stimulate collagen production.
Post-Treatment
HIFU requires no downtime. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tingling, but these effects should subside within a few hours. Most patients resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.
After Your Treatment
Expected Results
HIFU works by stimulating your body's natural collagen production, which results in smoother, firmer, and younger-looking skin. Here's what you can expect:
Aftercare and Maintenance
HIFU requires minimal aftercare, but following these guidelines will help you achieve the best results:
Sun Protection
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) every day, especially in the first 2 weeks after treatment, to protect your skin from UV damage.
Hydration
Keep your skin well-hydrated with a gentle moisturiser to support the collagen-building process.
Avoid Heat
Avoid exposure to excessive heat, such as saunas, hot tubs, and intense workouts, for the first 48 hours.
No Massages
Refrain from massaging or pressing the treated areas for at least 1 week after the treatment.
Healthy Lifestyle
Maintaining a balanced diet and proper hydration can help support your skin's natural collagen production and ensure long-lasting results.
