HIFU & Sofwave
HIFU and Sofwave are non-surgical skin tightening treatments that deliver focused energy below the skin surface to stimulate collagen. They are used for lifting and tightening the face and neck, softening a double chin, and improving the under-eye area. A session takes about an hour and there is no downtime afterwards.
Price varies with the treatment area.
This is the treatment for people who want lifting and tightening without surgery and without needles. The energy is delivered below the surface, so the skin on top is left intact — you can go back to your day straight afterwards.
What it does is trigger your own collagen production. That is also why the result is gradual: you are not seeing the effect of the machine, you are seeing the effect of your body rebuilding over the following weeks and months. Most people notice the change somewhere between two and three months out, with it continuing to develop after that.
It is worth being clear about what it is not. This is a tightening and lifting treatment, not a facelift. It works well on mild to moderate laxity. If you have significant sagging, I will tell you that the result is unlikely to match what you are picturing rather than take the booking.

Questions people ask
When will I see results?
Not immediately, and anyone who tells you otherwise is overselling it. Because the treatment works by stimulating your own collagen, the visible change builds over roughly two to three months and can keep developing beyond that. Some people notice a mild tightening early on, but the real result is the slow one.
What is the difference between HIFU and Sofwave?
Both are non-surgical energy treatments aimed at lifting and tightening, but they deliver that energy differently and reach different depths in the skin. Which one suits you depends on your skin, the area you want treated and what you are trying to achieve. We work that out at consultation.
Is there any downtime?
No. Some redness or mild tenderness in the treated area is normal and settles quickly. You can go back to your normal day straight after the appointment, which is one of the main reasons people choose this over more invasive options.
Is this a replacement for a facelift?
No. It is genuinely effective for mild to moderate laxity, and it is a good option if you want to soften a jawline or tighten the neck without surgery. If you have significant sagging, I will be honest with you that this will not deliver what a surgical procedure would.
