Did you know that HIFU technology was originally developed to treat prostate cancer before being adapted for facial rejuvenation? HIFU face lifting Singapore uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound to stimulate deep tissue collagen production, offering natural, long-lasting facial tightening without surgery.
HIFU results typically develop gradually over 2–3 months and remain effective for 12–18 months in most patients. The treatment targets the SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) layer — the same layer manipulated during surgical facelifts — using precise ultrasound energy at depths of 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm beneath the skin surface.
Immediate tissue tightening occurs due to thermal coagulation points, while the body’s natural healing response triggers neo-collagenesis — the production of new collagen fibers — over the next 12 weeks.
The longevity of HIFU face lifting results depends on skin quality, collagen density, lifestyle, and the treatment protocol used.
