HIFU in Lisbon

What is HIFU?

There comes a time when the mirror begins to reflect an image that no longer matches how we feel inside. The skin sags, the contours change—and this has nothing to do with neglect. HIFU is designed to reverse this process: naturally, without surgery, and with no recovery time.

The loss of firmness in the face or body doesn’t happen overnight—it’s a gradual process that, at a certain point, becomes impossible to ignore. The facial contours begin to sag, the neck loses its firmness, and the skin on the abdomen or arms is no longer the same.

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is the non-surgical solution to this natural aging process. This focused ultrasound technology acts deep within the skin’s structural layers, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, restoring firmness, and gradually and naturally redefining the contours.

At the Michelle Bond Clinic, HIFU treatments are performed exclusively by doctors. This is not just a technical matter—it ensures a personalized, precise, and safe approach, both for the face and the body.

What is HIFU used for?

On the face

When the skin on the face begins to sag, the signs appear where we least want them to: the facial contour loses its definition, a double chin becomes more noticeable, and the neck no longer keeps pace with the firmness of the face. HIFU targets precisely these areas—restoring firmness to the facial contours, smoothing out wrinkles and expression lines, and stimulating deep collagen production. The result isn’t artificial: it’s your face, with greater firmness and definition.

In the body

For the body, HIFU addresses concerns that many of our clients recognize: sagging abdominal skin after pregnancy or significant weight loss, arms or thighs that have lost their firmness, and buttocks that would benefit from a non-surgical lift. It’s a treatment that firms, tones, and redefines—while respecting your body just as it is.

How does the treatment work?

HIFU directs ultrasound energy to deep layers of the skin that no cream can reach. The treatment targets the SMAS—the same layer addressed in facelift surgeries—where it triggers a natural tissue repair response. The body responds by producing new collagen and elastin, and it is this gradual process that leads to the firmness and lifting effect you’ll notice in the weeks that follow. The results aren’t immediate because they’re real: they come from the inside out.

Duration and aftercare

Each session lasts 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated. There is no recovery time—you can resume your normal activities the same day. In the days following the treatment, we recommend avoiding excessive heat and direct sun exposure, and keeping your skin well-moisturized.

Desde o começo, fui super bem atendida pela equipe, que é muito atenciosa e cuida de cada detalhe para que a gente se sinta confortável e bem acolhida. Fiz o microagulhamento com a profissional Elis, e só tenho elogios! Ela é super competente, explica tudo direitinho e faz o procedimento com muito cuidado. A sessão foi bem mais tranquila do que eu esperava, e o resultado ficou incrível. Recomendo demais a clínica para quem busca um tratamento de qualidade com profissionais que realmente se importam com o bem-estar do cliente!

Frequently Asked Questions

How many HIFU sessions are recommended for best results?

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.

When will I start to see HIFU results?

Some results are visible immediately after the session, with an initial tightening effect. However, the true impact of HIFU develops over the following weeks, as the body produces new collagen. Optimal results are generally noticeable between 4 and 12 weeks after treatment and continue to improve.

Is HIFU treatment painful?

The experience varies from person to person and depending on the area being treated. It is common to feel intense heat and a prickling sensation during the procedure, especially in areas with less fatty tissue, such as the facial contours. At our clinic, the protocol is tailored to each individual to ensure maximum comfort without compromising the treatment’s effectiveness.

Is HIFU safe? Are there clinical studies supporting its effectiveness?

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 production, as demonstrated in the *Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology*.

Can HIFU be combined with other aesthetic treatments?

Yes. HIFU complements facial and body radiofrequency treatments, collagen-stimulating agents (Radiesse®, Sculptra®), anti-wrinkle injections, hyaluronic acid fillers, and medical microneedling very well. During your medical evaluation, our specialist will develop a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan.

Is there any recovery time after treatment?

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.

What is the difference between HIFU and other sagging treatments?

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.

Is HIFU suitable for all skin types?

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.

From what age can I start HIFU treatment?

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.
