HIFU

O que é o HIFU?

HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive technology that acts on the deep layers of the skin, promoting firmness, lifting and redefining the contour of both the face and body. Ideal for those looking for facial or body rejuvenation without surgery, HIFU stimulates the natural production of collagen, improves elasticity and reduces sagging progressively and safely.

At our clinic, HIFU is performed only by doctors, which allows for a more precise, safe approach that is tailored to your individual anatomy – both on the face and the body.

Como funciona o tratamento?

HIFU works with highly focused ultrasound waves that penetrate deeply to generate controlled micro-thermal lesions in the structural layers of the skin, including the SMAS (the layer treated in surgical lifting). This stimulus activates the production of collagen and elastin, providing firmness and toning over the weeks.

Duração e cuidados pós-tratamento

Duration: 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area treated
Recovery: immediate – no need to rest
Care: avoid excessive heat, direct sun exposure and keep skin hydrated

Perguntas Frequentes

Quantas sessões de HIFU são recomendadas para obter os melhores resultados?

Although many people notice improvements already after the first session, we recommend a protocol of 3 sessions, with a monthly interval, to achieve optimum and long-lasting results. The tightening and firming effect continues to develop for several weeks after treatment.

O HIFU é seguro? Existem estudos que comprovem a sua eficácia?

Yes. HIFU is considered a safe and effective treatment, especially when performed by qualified professionals. Clinical studies confirm its effectiveness in treating facial sagging and stimulating collagen.
One example is this article published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, which shows the results of HIFU on skin firmness:
A Multicenter Study of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound for Facial Skin Rejuvenation

During your medical assessment, our specialist will define an integrated and fully personalized plan that combines the best of each technology.

Existe tempo de recuperação após o tratamento?

No. HIFU is a non-invasive treatment with immediate recovery. After the session, you can resume your daily activities as normal. In some cases, there may be slight redness or sensitivity, which disappears within a few hours.

Qual a diferença entre o HIFU e outros tratamentos para flacidez?

HIFU acts in depth, reaching the SMAS, the same layer treated in facelift surgeries. This allows for a tensing and firming effect that is superior to treatments that only act on the surface of the skin, such as creams or light treatments.

O HIFU é indicado para todos os tipos de pele?

Yes. HIFU is safe for all skin types and tones, including dark and black skin. As it does not act on the surface of the skin, there is no risk of hyperpigmentation or damage to the skin barrier.

Com que idade posso começar o tratamento HIFU?

HIFU can be started from the age of 30 as a way of preventing sagging, or at a more advanced age as a corrective treatment. The decision will always be made on the basis of a medical assessment of your skin and your goals.
