Service Description

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) at Haus of Ästhetik offers a non-surgical way to lift, tighten and firm the skin by targeting deep structural layers normally treated in a surgical facelift. Using precise ultrasound energy, HIFU heats the SMAS layer (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) to stimulate powerful collagen renewal without damaging the surface of the skin. This clinically proven treatment is ideal for patients wanting visible lifting and contouring without downtime. By triggering the body’s natural healing response, HIFU gradually produces new collagen and elastin over the following weeks, improving firmness, definition and skin strength. How HIFU Works Focused ultrasound energy is delivered at controlled depths beneath the skin, typically 1.5mm, 3.0mm and 4.5mm. These thermal points create micro-coagulation zones that contract tissue and activate collagen production. As new collagen develops, the skin becomes tighter, lifted and more defined, with improvements continuing for up to six months. Treatment Areas • Face and neck lifting • Jowls and jawline definition • Cheeks, eyes and crow’s feet • Chin and double-chin reduction • Neck and décolletage tightening • Arms, abdomen and knees for mild laxity Benefits of HIFU • Non-invasive and needle-free • Stimulates natural collagen and elastin • Improves contour, firmness and fine lines • Minimal to no downtime • Suitable for all skin types Treatment Process Following a full consultation, the skin is cleansed and ultrasound gel is applied. A precision handpiece delivers targeted energy following mapped treatment lines. Patients may feel brief warmth or tingling as collagen stimulation begins. Sessions last 30–90 minutes depending on the areas treated, and normal activities can be resumed immediately. Results and Maintenance Some tightening can be seen within weeks, with the most noticeable results developing over 2–3 months as new collagen forms. A single treatment can last 12–18 months, and many patients choose annual maintenance sessions to support long-term lift. HIFU is effective as a stand-alone procedure or combined with Profhilo, Microneedling or Polynucleotides for enhanced skin regeneration and maximum rejuvenation. Our clinic in Bakewell welcomes patients from across Derbyshire, including Buxton, Matlock, Chesterfield and Sheffield.
