High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, also known as ‘Ultrasound Facelift’ or ‘Ultherapy’, has become one of the most sought after lifting treatments for the face, neck and body. It is a non-surgical revolutionary medical alternative to surgical facelift. Surgical facelift is more expensive, requires much more downtime and is much more painful.
HIFU targets multiple layers of the skin including the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS), which is the same layer adjusted by surgeons during a facelift.
Some advantages of HIFU:
- Stimulates natural collagen production
- Stimulates elastin production
- No cuts to the skin
- No recovery time
- Noticeable results after just one treatment
- Results last 1-2 years
- Clinically proven

Facelift Treatment
HIFU lifts and tones the face, neck and eyes resulting in a dramatic yet natural uplift. Results may last up to 2 years. HIFU treatment is rapidly gaining popularity in Islamabad, Pakistan. Though other non-invasive treatments have had promising results, the ability to target multiple layers beneath the skin is what sets HIFU apart. Unlike surgery, high-intensity focused ultrasound is safe, affordable and doesn’t require you to have downtime, following the treatment. You can have HIFU and leave everyone you know, wondering how you keep your skin so tight.
The treatment is able to target deep structural layers of the skin. HIFU uses ultrasound energy to apply thermal energy (heat) to specific depths of the skin, which boosts the body’s healing responses. This naturally increases the production of collagen and elastin in the tissues, helping to reduce the sign of ageing: The result is a younger and more refreshed appearance.
Who is suitable for treatment?
HIFU is safe and suitable for most people over 20-25 years of age. Although it is safe, younger patients would normally not require HIFU treatment. Some young patients may need it for double chin treatment or other specific purposes. HIFU will stimulate collagen and elastin production to help lift and tighten the treated area to help delay the ageing process.
What can be treated using HIFU?
HIFU is useful for treatment of the face and the body. We’ve specially designed hand pieces for each area on the face and body.
Does it hurt?
Most people do not report pain. There can be slight aching over bony areas or a warm sensation in the skin during treatment. If required, a topical anesthetic cream can be applied.
Is there any downtime?
One of the benefits of this treatment is that there is no downtime. Most people return to normal activities right away. Few patient may have slight redness, swelling or tenderness in the treated area.
Are there any side effects?
There may be slight redness, swelling or tenderness to the treated area following the session. Some patients may feel tingling and tenderness to touch, after the treatment. SPF30 is recommended when in the sun (as always).
