Prolift HIFU Face Lift: The Non-Surgical Facelift That Lifts, Tightens and Rejuvenates
If you are looking for a way to lift and tighten your skin without surgery, the Prolift HIFU Non-Invasive Facelift offers a clinically proven solution. This advanced skin tightening treatment uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to stimulate collagen production and firm the skin from within, resulting in natural-looking, long-lasting results.
What Is HIFU and How Does It Work?
HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that targets the deep foundational layers of the skin, including the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS). This is the same layer addressed during surgical facelifts.
HIFU technology works by delivering focused ultrasound energy to specific depths beneath the skin, without damaging the surface. The heat energy generated causes controlled injury in the tissue, triggering a natural healing process and the production of new collagen. Over time, this leads to visible lifting, tightening and contouring of the face and neck.
Benefits of Prolift HIFU Face Lift
As we age, collagen production slows down, leading to sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles. The Prolift HIFU treatment helps reverse these signs of aging by:
Tightening and lifting loose skin
Reducing wrinkles and fine lines
Enhancing facial contours
Improving skin tone and elasticity
Stimulating long-term collagen production
Commonly Treated Areas:
Forehead and eyebrows
Cheeks and jowls
Chin and neck
Periorbital area (around the eyes)
Crow’s feet
Décolletage
This treatment is ideal for those looking to restore a more youthful appearance without undergoing surgery.
What to Expect Before, During and After Treatment
Preparing for Your Prolift HIFU Session
To get the best results from your treatment, please follow these guidelines:
Avoid sun exposure and self-tanners before your appointment
Discontinue use of Retin-A, glycolic acid or salicylic acid three days prior
Take antiviral medication if you are prone to cold sores
Do not undergo treatment if you have an active cold sore or skin infection
Arrive at your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin
A topical numbing cream may be applied 15 to 20 minutes before treatment if desired.
What Happens During the Treatment
Prolift HIFU uses precise, rapid-shot ultrasound energy to target different layers of the skin. Treatment times vary based on the area, but sessions generally take between 30 and 90 minutes.
Patients typically report a warming or tingling sensation during the procedure. The surface of the skin remains unharmed throughout the process.
Aftercare and Recovery
There is minimal to no downtime following a Prolift HIFU treatment. You may experience:
Mild redness, which usually resolves within 30 minutes
Slight swelling or tenderness for a few days
A tingling sensation that may persist for a few weeks
These side effects are temporary and typically indicate that collagen regeneration is underway.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is HIFU Right for Me?
Prolift HIFU is suitable for individuals experiencing mild to moderate signs of skin aging, such as:
Wrinkles and fine lines
Loose or sagging skin
Reduced facial definition
Laxity in the neck or jowl area
If you are not ready for surgery but want noticeable skin tightening results, HIFU is an excellent choice.
How Often Can I Have HIFU Treatments?
Initial treatments are usually spaced every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on individual needs. After your initial course, maintenance sessions can be performed every 6 to 18 months to sustain results.
When Will I See Results?
Some tightening may be visible immediately after treatment, but the full effects typically develop within 6 to 12 weeks. As new collagen forms, you will notice continued improvement over time, with peak results seen about 3 months after the last session.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Most clients require 1 to 3 treatments depending on their goals, skin condition and response to ultrasound energy. A personalized treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Side effects are uncommon and generally mild. They may include:
Temporary redness or swelling
Slight tenderness in the treated area
Tingling or sensitivity lasting a few days to a week
These effects usually resolve without intervention and are signs of the skin’s natural healing process.
How Long Does a HIFU Treatment Take?
Treatment time depends on the area being addressed. Smaller areas such as the chin or cheeks can be treated in as little as 30 minutes. Full face and neck treatments may take up to 90 minutes.
How Much Does HIFU Cost?
Pricing varies based on the treatment area and the number of sessions needed. HIFU treatments are offered individually or as a package of three sessions for optimal results.
