HIFU Skin Tightening Therapy

HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. This non-invasive skin tightening treatment uses synchronous ultrasound parallel beam technology to stimulate the skin’s natural collagen production. It delivers ultrasound energy to the mid-dermis, triggering the body’s natural healing process to firm and lift the skin, resulting in firmer, smoother skin and a more youthful appearance without the …

firmer, smoother skin and a more youthful appearance

Achieve firmer, rejuvenated looking skin with Alaxis’ bespoke HIFU Therapy, which uses advanced ultrasound technology (such as Sofwave™ and ULTRAFORMER MPT) to target the layers deep within the skin’s superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) to improve skin elasticity and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. This non-surgical, machine-assisted treatment administered by Alaxis’ qualified aesthetic doctors encourages natural collagen production, helping to rejuvenate the skin’s structure and tone without surgery.

Who are Good Candidates for Alaxis’ HIFU Therapy?

Alaxis’ HIFU Therapy is ideal for those who:

  • Notice mild to moderate skin laxity or sagging

  • Are interested in full-face or targeted area skin tightening treatments

How Does HIFU (such as Sofwave™ and ULTRAFORMER MPT) Therapy Work?

HIFU Therapy harnesses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology to target and stimulate collagen production with precision. Here’s how it works:

  • Precise Targeting: Ultrasound energy penetrates deep beneath the skin, using precision technology to reach the skin’s superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS)  layer where collagen resides, promoting skin lifting and tightening.
  • Non-Invasive Procedure: The treatment is completely non-invasive, meaning no incisions, needles, or downtime are required, making it a safe option for those seeking skin improvement without surgery.
  • Natural Collagen Stimulation: Alaxis’ HIFU Therapy stimulates the body’s natural collagen production over time, allowing gradual yet long-lasting skin firmness and elasticity improvements.
  • Customisable Treatment Options: With partial or full-face applications, the Sofwave™ system can be tailored to address specific areas of concern, such as the cheeks, jawline, and forehead.
  • Minimal Discomfort: Sofwave™ and ULTRAFORMER MPT HIFU Therapy deliver synergistic and focused ultrasound waves without affecting surrounding tissues, resulting in a gentle treatment with minimal discomfort.
