HIFU - Facelift without surgery

How does HIFU skin tightening work?
The natural protein collagen is largely responsible for firm and elastic skin. It is produced by our own bodies. But the older we get, the less collagen our bodies produce. The result: our tissue becomes flabby, loses its contours and wrinkles appear. So if our skin lacks collagen in particular to give it a youthful appearance, wouldn't it be a good solution to help the body's own production and thus restore firmness and elasticity?

This is exactly where HIFU skin tightening comes in. The ultrasound therapy uses highly concentrated ultrasound waves that penetrate deep into the skin to stimulate targeted collagen production in the treated areas and thus tighten the skin. A slight effect is visible immediately after the treatment. However, since HIFU works with physical regeneration processes, you need to give the results a little more time: after about 3-4 months, new collagen has built up. A final result can be expected within 4-6 months. Because you have no or only slight side effects with a HIFU treatment (such as redness and slight swelling immediately after the treatment), you can go about your daily life immediately after the treatment, do sports, enjoy life and look forward to a fresh, radiant appearance in just a few months!

HIFU is basically a facelift without surgery. Of course, the non-invasive method can produce less dramatic changes than a surgical procedure. But this is precisely where the advantage lies: With a much gentler method, you can achieve very good results with the HIFU treatment - especially if your skin is only showing milder signs of aging. HIFU can achieve very good effects in reducing wrinkles and tightening contours. Light wrinkles, sagging cheeks or sagging upper eyelids can be treated early and non-surgically. Since a HIFU treatment not only tightens the skin, but also specifically reduces fat in the affected areas, the method is very suitable for treating a double chin, for example.

HIFU helps your skin to help itself by stimulating collagen production and giving your skin a natural lift. With HIFU you benefit from the achievements and sophistication of medicine. At DERM ART, we as dermatologists specializing in aesthetic procedures will advise you individually and in detail during our consultation hours on the possibilities of HIFU treatment.

HIFU treatments have some significant advantages over other dermatological procedures.

Gentle lifting without a scalpel

HIFU treatment is a modern, non-invasive treatment method that enables an effective facelift – entirely without surgery. Unlike conventional surgery, HIFU doesn't deliver radical changes, but it offers a natural result and significantly lower risks. The method offers impressive results, especially for the first signs of skin aging. The skin is tightened, contours appear more defined, and the overall appearance is fresher.

Targeted treatment of early signs of aging

HIFU is an excellent treatment for minor wrinkles, sagging upper eyelids, and the onset of sagging cheeks. It can also be beneficial for a double chin, as it not only tightens the skin but also gently reduces the underlying fatty tissue. The precise targeting of deeper layers of facial skin ensures lasting improvement.

Collagen build-up as a natural lifting effect

At the heart of HIFU technology is the stimulation of the body's own collagen production. Through the targeted use of highly focused sound waves, the tissue is activated from within. Skin elasticity noticeably improves, fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed, and the face gradually regains firmness, creating a natural lift.

Advanced technology for sustainable results

HIFU therapy uses modern technology to treat the skin gently. The method is ideal for facial rejuvenation and tightening other areas of the body. Whether on the neck, chin, or décolleté – the treatment works where it's needed and supports the skin's natural regeneration.

How long does a HIFU treatment take?

Depending on the area being treated, the treatment typically lasts between 45 and 60 minutes. No anesthesia is required; the method is non-invasive and well-tolerated.

What should I consider after the HIFU treatment?

Immediately after treatment, you should use a high-strength sunscreen and avoid saunas, tanning beds, and intense sun exposure for at least 72 hours. This will support optimal skin regeneration.

What is the Ultraformer III?

The Ultraformer III represents the latest generation of HIFU technology and impresses with its precise control of ultrasound waves at different depths in the skin layers. This enables individually tailored, effective skin tightening and wrinkle treatment.

When is the best time of year for HIFU treatment?

Ultrasound lifting can be performed year-round. It's also possible during the summer months, as long as adequate UV protection is ensured.

How much does an anti-aging HIFU treatment cost?

Costs vary depending on the extent and treatment area, but start at approximately CHF 395 per session. For long-term, visible results, a repeat treatment may be advisable, depending on the initial situation.
