3d HIFU

3D HIFU – Non-Surgical Skin Lifting & Fat Reduction

What is 3D HIFU?

3D HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to lift, tighten, and contour both the face and body. Unlike surgical facelifts, it stimulates your body’s own collagen production in deep skin layers — giving you firmer, more youthful-looking skin without downtime.

At Esthetique by Dr S., we use clinically proven 3D Aesthetics technology to deliver precise, powerful results safely.

How Does It Work?

The 3D HIFU device transmits highly focused ultrasound waves to specific depths beneath the skin’s surface.
In facial treatments, energy is delivered at depths of 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm, creating thermal coagulation zones without damaging the skin’s surface.
This controlled heating yields immediate contraction of tissue plus a wound-healing response, prompting the formation of new collagen over time.
For body contouring, the HIFU handpiece targets deeper fat layers at 7 mm and 13 mm, raising the temperature of fat cells (up to ~60-65 °C) to destroy them safely via coagulative necrosis.

What Can 3D HIFU Treat?

Face & Neck

Sagging skin / laxity
Fine lines and wrinkles
Jawline & jowl lifting
Brow lift
Overall skin rejuvenation and tightening

Body

Localised fat pockets (e.g., abdomen, flanks, thighs)
Skin tightening in areas that need firming post-fat-reduction

Benefits of 3D HIFU

Benefits

Non-surgical alternative

Achieve lifting and fat reduction without going under the knife.

Long-lasting results

Collagen is remodelled over months, with effects often continuing up to 2 years in facial treatment.

Minimal downtime

Most clients return to daily activities immediately after treatment.

Single session

In many cases, only one treatment is needed to see meaningful improvements.

Dual-purpose device

Treats both skin laxity *and* stubborn fat, giving a comprehensive approach.

What to Expect During the Treatment

1. Consultation & Assessment

We’ll assess your skin, concerns, and goals to create a tailored treatment plan.

2. Preparation

Your skin will be cleansed, and ultrasound gel applied to the treatment area.

3. HIFU Delivery

For face: Energy is delivered at precise depths (1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, 4.5 mm) to stimulate collagen and tighten tissue.
For body: The appropriate handpiece (targeting 7 mm or 13 mm) is used to safely heat fat and firm the skin.
You may feel warmth, tingling, or mild discomfort — but treatment is well tolerated.

4. Aftercare

No significant downtime; you can typically go straight back to your day.
You might experience slight redness or swelling, which resolves quickly.
Results develop gradually as new collagen forms, often over 2–3 months.

How Long Does It Last?

Face: Results become more visible over 3–6 months as collagen rebuilds, and effects can last for 12–24 months.
Body (Fat Reduction): You may start to see fat reduction from 2–4 months after treatment as your lymphatic system removes the treated fat cells.

Is 3D HIFU Right for You?

This treatment is ideal if you:

Are noticing early to moderate skin laxity but don’t want surgery.
Want a non-invasive way to lift and firm the face or neck.
Have stubborn, localized fat pockets that you want to reduce without liposuction.
Are looking for a “one and done” treatment with lasting results.

Safety & Side Effects

3D HIFU is considered very safe when performed by a trained practitioner. Possible side effects may include:

Temporary redness
Mild swelling
Tingling or warmth
Rarely, slight numbness or tenderness

There’s no surgery, no needles, and no incisions — so no scarring.

FAQs

How many sessions will I need?

For many clients, a single session is sufficient for facial lifting.
Body fat reduction typically requires one treatment per area, though gently depends on your goals.

Does it hurt?

You may feel a warming sensation or slight discomfort, especially over bony areas. Most people tolerate it well.
We can chat about pain management options (e.g., pre-treatment analgesia) if needed.

Can I combine 3D HIFU with other treatments?

Yes — depending on your skin goals, we can layer or sequence HIFU with other aesthetic treatments. During your consultation, we’ll talk through what’s best.
