Ultherapy (HIFU lifting)
Non-surgical lift, one session
Focused ultrasound is delivered to the deep support layer of the skin to tighten it without any incision. The result builds gradually over 2–3 months as collagen remodels. Most people return to normal activity straight after the session.

Good to know
- Tenderness, mild swelling or a tingling feeling can last from a few days up to 2 weeks.
- Tell the clinic about facial implants, metal plates or recent filler in the treatment area.
- Avoid saunas and strong heat for 3 days.
- Book 2–3 months before an event, since the lifting effect appears slowly.
Questions
How long does it last?
Around 12 months for many people, though it varies with age and skin condition.
Ultherapy or a Korean HIFU device such as Shurink?
They work on the same principle, and Korean devices are usually priced lower per shot. Your doctor advises which suits your skin.
Does it hurt?
Each shot gives a deep heat sensation. Clinics can adjust the energy or offer pain relief, and tolerance varies widely.
Can I combine it with Botox or filler?
Clinics frequently do, but the order and the interval between them are decided by your doctor.
