Lift sagging skin and define your jawline using focused ultrasound that works at the same depth as a surgical facelift — no needles, no incisions, no downtime.
HIFU — High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound — uses focused sound-wave energy to heat the deep structural layer of the skin, the SMAS layer, which is the same tissue a surgeon tightens during a facelift.
Because the energy is focused below the surface, the skin itself isn't broken or damaged — only the targeted layer beneath it is heated to a precise temperature. This triggers your body's own repair response: over the following weeks, collagen rebuilds and the treated tissue gradually tightens and lifts.
At Dermatonik, HIFU is used most often for jawline definition, reducing the appearance of a double chin, lifting sagging cheeks, and softening jowls — all without a single incision.
Ultrasound is focused into tiny thermal points at 1.5mm, 3mm and 4.5mm beneath the skin — reaching the SMAS layer without affecting the surface.
Each point is heated to a precise temperature that gently denatures old collagen fibres, triggering your body's natural repair process.
New collagen builds over 8–12 weeks, producing a progressive tightening that continues long after your appointment ends.
A single, focused session that works with your body's own repair process.
Visibly lifts the jawline, cheeks and brow without surgery.
Tightens the submental area for a more defined profile.

Results typically last 12–18 months, depending on skin and lifestyle.
No needles, incisions or anaesthesia required.
Collagen keeps rebuilding for months — results improve as you wait.
Skin renewal — results shown are from Dermatonik's skin-renewal protocols and may reflect a combination of treatments alongside HIFU.
Photographs shared with patient consent. Individual results vary; your dermatologist will set honest expectations at consultation.
Dr. Saeema Shiraaz examines your skin's elasticity and facial structure, and talks through whether HIFU — or a different treatment — is the right fit for your goals.
Treatment depths and energy levels are mapped to your face. You'll know the expected timeline and cost before you begin.
A numbing cream is applied, then the HIFU device is passed methodically across the treatment area. Most describe it as warm prickling — momentary, not painful.
Mild redness may appear for a few hours. We'll check in as your results develop over the following weeks.

After one HIFU session my jawline looked noticeably sharper — and it kept improving for weeks after.

HIFU patient
Everything patients usually ask before their first HIFU session.
You'll feel warmth and brief tingling as energy is delivered — most patients describe it as uncomfortable in moments rather than painful. A numbing cream helps for sensitive areas.
Most patients see good results from a single session, with improvement continuing for up to 3 months. Some choose a yearly top-up to maintain results.
Some tightening is visible immediately, but the main lifting effect builds gradually over 8–12 weeks as new collagen forms.
Yes — HIFU is a well-established, non-invasive technology. Your suitability is assessed during consultation before any treatment begins.
HIFU isn't suitable for active skin infections, certain implants (including pacemakers), or during pregnancy. We'll review your history at consultation.
Typically 12–18 months, depending on your skin's natural ageing process and lifestyle factors like sun exposure.
