What is HIFU Skin Ultrasound Treatment?
High intensity frequency ultrasound (HIFU) is a noninvasive and nonsurgical cosmetic treatment that is great for addressing sagging skin in the neck area. HIFU skin ultrasound treatment uses ultrasound technology to target the skin at various depths of 4.5mm, 3.0mm, and 1.5mm.
The ultrasound heats the skin at a controlled amount and depth and triggers the skin repair process, which results in the production of collagen. Collagen keeps the skin tight and will help lift any sagging skin in the neck.
With aging, collagen is lost at a dramatic rate—approximately 1% per year and can result in sagging skin in the neck. Treatments like HIFU can help replenish collagen stores without surgical downtime.
How do I prepare for HIFU Skin Ultrasound Treatment?
In order to maintain your optimal safety and maximize your results from a HIFU skin ultrasound treatment, it’s important that you familiarize yourself with the pre-treatment guidelines. As always, we recommend bringing up any concerns or questions you may have about the treatment to your medical consultant and treatment provider and making them aware of any conditions that may affect the results of your treatment. Below are the following pre-treatment guidelines:
- Avoid sun exposure and self-tanning products. Sun burned or tanned skin will not be treated.
- 3 days prior to your treatment, do not use topicals containing Retin-A, glycolic or salicylic acid, as these products can irritate the skin.
- If you have a history of cold sores/fever blisters, an antiviral medication must be taken prior to treatment. Treatment will not be performed if you have any active cold sores or skin infections.
- Avoid any injectables in or near the treatment area 4 weeks prior to your treatment.
- Avoid laser treatments on the area being treated 2 weeks prior to your treatment.
- If you are currently taking any acne, skin thinning or photosensitive medication, you cannot be treated due to risk of burning.
- If you have any dental implants or metal plates in the treatment areas, disclose this to your medical consultant/treatment provider prior to your treatment.
Adhering to the pre-treatment guidelines will not only ensure the efficacy of the HIFU skin ultrasound treatment, but will also provide you with a more pleasant experience post-treatment.

What are the ‘No Fly Zones’ in a HIFU Skin Ultrasound Treatment?
While HIFU is generally safe, there are certain areas of the face and body that should be avoided to prevent potential complications. These include:
Eyes
HIFU should be avoided in this area. The skin around the eye area is delicate. The ultrasound waves can cause damage to the eyes and surrounding tissues, which can lead to vision problems or other complications.
Lips
HIFU should be avoided in this area. The ultrasound waves can cause damage to the lips and surrounding tissues, which can lead to swelling, bruising, and other complications.
Bones
HIFU should be avoided in this area. Treatment should not be performed on bony areas of the face or body. The ultrasound waves can cause damage to the bones, which can lead to fractures or other complications.
Lymph nodes
HIFU skin ultrasound treatment should be avoided in this area. The ultrasound waves can cause damage to the lymphatic system, which can lead to swelling, infection, or other complications.
Tattoos
HIFU treatment should not be performed on areas of the skin that has tattoos. The ultrasound waves can cause damage to the ink (loss of pigment) and damage to the surrounding tissue, which can lead to scarring or other complications
How many HIFU Skin Ultrasound Treatments are Needed?
Multiple treatments may be needed for best results, with full results typically visible 3 months after the last treatment. It is suggested to get 2 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart and then a maintenance treatment every 6-8 months.
HIFU Skin Ultrasound Treatment at Jack Nathan MedSpa
Unlike traditional HIFU skin ultrasound treatments, Prolift HIFU uses ‘transhole’ technology, which significantly decreases the formation of micro-bubbles during the treatment process. Less micro-bubbles allows for a more stable energy transfer into the skin. What this means for you is a more comfortable, effective treatment as the transhole technology allows us to target the skin more precisely with less heat and damage to surrounding tissue.
