HIFU focused ultrasound treatment at Dermal Distinction
FOCUSED ULTRASOUND + FACIAL AGEING

HIFU treatment.

Focused ultrasound treatment designed to target deeper tissue layers as part of a personalised facial ageing plan.

HIFU uses concentrated ultrasound energy at selected depths beneath the skin. Treatment is planned according to your facial anatomy, tissue quality and the areas you would like us to assess.

WHAT IS HIFU?

Energy delivered below the surface.

HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound.

Unlike treatments that work primarily at the surface of the skin, HIFU delivers focused ultrasound energy to selected tissue depths beneath it.

These controlled treatment points create a tissue response that supports gradual collagen remodelling over time. Treatment depth, placement and intensity are selected according to the area being treated and your individual facial anatomy.

01
FOCUSED

Targeted energy

Ultrasound energy is concentrated at selected depths rather than treating the entire tissue pathway.

02
PLANNED

Different areas need different treatment

Facial shape, tissue thickness and the treatment area influence how HIFU is planned.

03
GRADUAL

Results develop over time

HIFU is designed to stimulate a gradual tissue response rather than create an immediate change at the surface.

ASSESSMENT MATTERS

HIFU is not automatically suitable for every face or every ageing concern. We assess the skin, underlying tissues and facial proportions before recommending treatment.

HOW HIFU WORKS

Focused ultrasound. Selected depths.

HIFU delivers concentrated ultrasound energy to selected tissue depths beneath the skin. Different depths may be chosen depending on the treatment area, tissue thickness and your individual facial anatomy.

01 SUPERFICIAL DEPTH

Surface support

Shallower treatment depths may be selected for areas where more superficial tissue support is being considered.

02 MID DEPTH

Collagen remodelling

Focused energy is delivered below the surface to create precise treatment points that support gradual collagen remodelling over time.

03 DEEPER LEVELS

Treatment is planned by area

Deeper treatment levels may be used in selected areas, depending on the treatment goal and the facial structures being assessed.

IMPORTANT

HIFU does not work like a surface facial. The skin surface is not the main target — the energy is focused beneath it, and the treatment plan is tailored to the area being treated.

YOUR HIFU APPOINTMENT

Planned for your face.

HIFU treatment starts with assessment rather than a standard treatment pattern.

We consider facial shape, tissue thickness, skin quality and the areas that concern you before deciding whether HIFU is appropriate and how treatment should be planned.

01
ASSESS

We assess the area first.

Your facial anatomy, tissue distribution and treatment goals help determine whether HIFU is a suitable option.

02
PLAN + TREAT

Depth and placement matter.

Treatment areas and ultrasound depths are selected according to the tissues being targeted rather than using the same settings across the whole face.

03
AFTERWARDS

Results are gradual.

The tissue response develops over time, so HIFU is better viewed as a gradual treatment rather than an instant change.

CONSIDERING HIFU?

Start with an assessment so we can determine whether HIFU fits your facial ageing and skin treatment plan.
