As we age, our skin loses its elasticity, becomes saggy, and wrinkles and fine lines appear. HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) Treatment in Islamabad is amazing and an emerging non-invasive procedure that lifts the skin and boosts collagen production and cell turnover, resulting in firm and tight lifted skin.
What is High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)?
HIFU is a non-surgical procedure that targets the deep skin layers up to 4.5mm, heating the deep tissue layers and stimulating collagen production for smooth, firm skin. It targets the SMAS layers of the skin, which surgeons use in surgical facelift tightening, but in this case, no needles or stitches are involved.
The treatment aims to target the drooping eyelids, saggy jawline, double chins, wrinkles, fine lines, etc.

How High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Works
The treatment works by targeting the SMAS layers in the skin that are tightened in a surgical facelift. The heat energy damages the cells and tissues, causing them to contract, stimulating the body’s healing power and collagen and elastin production abilities, resulting in new, firmer, and tighter skin.
The treatment is best for individuals with low to moderate sagging, and the results last for months to years with proper care.
It’s Amazing Results
Right after the HIFU sessions, patients feel a tight and smooth feeling due to tissue contractions, but these are initial results. For a full contoured, and defined jawline, double line, and a proper facelift, patients have to wait for 3 to 6 months as collagen and elastin fibers develop.
Here are some of the most amazing results our patients at Enfield Royal Clinic have achieved with the best non-surgical facelift treatment called HIFU:

Step-by-Step HIFU Procedure at Enfield Royal Clinic
Consultation & Preparation
An expert examines your skin, talks about objectives and cleanses the treatment area.
Application of Gel
A slick, ultrasound gel is placed on the skin, which aids in the transmission of ultrasound waves and makes it more comfortable.
HIFU Device Application
The practitioner selects a handheld transducer based on the required treatment depth (e.g., 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, or 4.5 mm of the face), and it delivers ultrasound energy pulses to the skin over a specified period.
Targeted Energy Delivery
The machine targets concentrated ultrasound, energy to the deep skin layers (dermis and SMAS) to heat tissue, induce a natural healing reaction, and stimulate collagen.
Target Areas & Mapping
The face is commonly mapped by the practitioners to avoid the sensitive parts such as the thyroid, temple, and around the ears, and concentrate on the cheeks, jawline and the neck.
Aftercare & Results
The gel is pulled off and customers can go right back to normal, with improvement of results over the next three months.
Before and Aftercare Instructions


Before | Aftercare |
void sun exposure and tanning | Apply sunscreen daily |
Stop retinoids and acids for a few days |
Use gentle skincare products |

Inform the doctor about your medications | Avoid heat, sauna, and steam |
Avoid active skin irritation | Follow the doctors' aftercare advice |
How Long Does Hifu Last?
The results of HIFU last for 6 to 18 months. Many individuals in their early aging may need only one session in years, but people with moderate sagginess may need maintenance sessions over time, with a doctor’s recommendation.
Is HIFU Safe for All Skin Types?
Yes, HIFU treatment works for all skin types and textures, but consulting a specialist first before undergoing the procedure is very important for safe outcomes.
HIFU vs Ultherapy
Both therapies serve the same purpose, but HIFU acts as a blind treatment because it targets all skin layers without visualization. In contrast, Ultherapy uses a real-time imaging system, called DeepSEE, to precisely target deeper layers of the skin.It helps avoid damaging the bone and blood vessels and only targets the required area. HIFU is best in the case of body contouring.
