How does Non-Surgical Facelift work?

HIFU uses ultrasound energy to target deep layers of the skin to boost collagen production by heating the tissue rapidly.

The increase in collagen production results in firmer skin with fewer wrinkles.

Because high-frequency ultrasound rays are focused on a particular tissue layer under the skin’s surface, there’s no harm to the skin’s upper layers and adjacent tissue.
