A HIFU facial is a noninvasive treatment for facial aging and for face lifting. This procedure is part of a growing trend for anti-aging treatments that provide some of the benefits of a facelift without the need for surgery. It uses ultrasound to create heat at a deep level in the skin. This heat damages targeted skin cells, causing the body to try to repair them. To do this, the body produces collagen to aid in cell regrowth.

According to the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, nonsurgical ultrasound treatments such as HIFU can:

• tighten the skin on the neck

• reduce the appearance of jowls

• lift drooping eyelids or eyebrows

• smooth wrinkles on the face

• smooth and tighten chest skin
