The Treatment

What Is HIFU?

HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. It is a medical-grade facial treatment system that uses ultrasonic energy to create long-lasting results — in a single treatment. Now the latest hi-tech Korean skin treatment technology is available at Shujo Aesthetics in Milton Keynes.

Precise HIFU energy is used to heat the skin from within, creating micro-injuries which trigger natural healing responses. Unlike other treatments, HIFU can be used to work at every layer of the skin — from the outer epidermis to the deep dermis and even down to the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), described as the skin's own 'scaffolding'.

"A single treatment stimulates the skin's metabolic processes to regenerate skin cells, collagen and elastin — with results that continue to develop and improve for months after treatment."

The Science

How Does HIFU Work?

01

Focused Ultrasound Energy

Precise ultrasound energy is delivered to exact depths within the skin — from the surface epidermis right through to the deep SMAS layer, the skin's own structural foundation.

02

Controlled Micro-Injuries

The focused energy creates precise micro-injuries at each targeted depth — without damaging the surrounding skin surface, triggering a powerful natural healing and regeneration response.

03

Collagen Remodelling Begins

The healing response stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin — causing the skin to tighten, firm and lift progressively over the weeks and months following treatment.

04

Lasting Lift & Tightening

As collagen remodelling continues, the skin becomes visibly smoother, tighter and more lifted — with results developing progressively and lasting for up to 18 months.

Multi-Layer Treatment

Targeting Every Layer of Your Skin

What makes HIFU uniquely powerful is its ability to treat multiple skin depths in a single session — from the superficial surface layer to the deep structural SMAS layer that no other non-surgical treatment can reach.

Epidermis

Surface layer treatment for improved radiance, texture and skin tone.

Dermis

Collagen and elastin stimulation within the deep skin layers for firmness and lift.

SMAS Layer

The skin's own structural 'scaffolding' — muscles and fibromuscular layers — for profound lifting and repositioning.

Results Timeline

Your Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I see results from HIFU?

In the first few days following treatment, you'll notice your skin looks more radiant. By weeks 3 to 4, the skin looks smoother and brighter with a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. By approximately week 8, the skin appears tighter and more toned — with a noticeable lifting effect produced as collagen remodelling continues to develop over time.

Is HIFU painful?

Some patients experience moderate discomfort during the procedure, particularly when the energy is delivered to deeper tissue layers. Anaesthesia is provided before treatment to manage this effectively. Most patients find the procedure very tolerable, and any discomfort subsides quickly after the session.

How is HIFU different from other non-surgical treatments?

HIFU is uniquely able to target the deepest structural layer of the skin — the SMAS — which is the same layer that surgeons address during a surgical facelift. No other non-surgical treatment can reach this depth, which is why HIFU delivers such profound and long-lasting lifting results.

Can HIFU be used on the body as well as the face?

Yes — HIFU is not exclusively a facial treatment. It can be used on the body to target cellulite, stretch marks and localised pockets of fat such as a double chin. The combination of fat reduction and skin tightening makes it a highly effective treatment for reshaping the chin, jawline and other body areas.

How long do HIFU results last?

Results from HIFU can last up to 18 months. A maintenance session every 12 to 18 months is recommended to sustain and build upon your results over time. Your clinician will advise the ideal maintenance schedule during your consultation.
