Face & Neck Skin Tightening
Lift laxity without surgery
Overview
Focused ultrasound and radiofrequency deliver energy beneath the skin to tighten collagen and support structures. Suitable candidates see subtle lifting of jawline, nasolabial area and neck over time, especially when combined with skincare and lifestyle changes.
Is This For You?
Process
Evaluate laxity and suitability
We check how much skin and deeper tissue have loosened, feel fat pads and muscles, and review medical history. This helps decide whether HIFU, radiofrequency or a combination will be worthwhile or if other options are better.
Deliver focused energy lines
We mark treatment zones, apply gel and deliver energy in precise lines and depths. You feel heat and zaps, more over bony areas. Settings are adjusted to balance effectiveness with comfort and safety.
Monitor lift over months
There is usually little immediate change; collagen tightening shows gradually. We review photos at three to six months, decide if a top-up pass is useful and advise on skincare and lifestyle to prolong results.

Face & Neck Skin Tightening
Lift laxity without surgery
This treatment uses HIFU and radiofrequency tightening to target mild to moderate sagging of cheeks, jawline and neck. It gently stimulates collagen, giving a firmer outline without cuts, stitches or time in an operating theatre.

Timeline
Tightening is typically most visible between three and six months as collagen remodels. Effects can last a year or more, especially when weight and lifestyle stay stable and sun care remains consistent.
Recovery
You may feel deep ache or tightness for a few days. Visible redness is usually mild; occasional swelling or tenderness settles with simple measures and rarely interferes with regular routines.
FAQs
Am I too young for skin tightening?
Suitability depends more on laxity, genetics and weight changes than age alone. We are honest if your skin is too firm for meaningful benefit and suggest simpler prevention-focused plans instead.
Can tightening replace a surgical facelift?
Non-surgical tightening helps early to moderate laxity, not very heavy jowls or large neck folds. We explain realistic lift expectations and sometimes recommend surgical opinions for advanced cases.
How many tightening sessions will I need?
Many patients do a single comprehensive session and review at six months. Others with more laxity may benefit from another pass or combining with MNRF or fillers for better support.
Is HIFU safe for my skin tone?
HIFU targets deeper tissue, away from pigment cells, so it suits many skin tones. We still choose parameters carefully, avoid over-treatment and provide clear aftercare instructions to minimise unnecessary risk.
Can I work the next day after treatment?
Most people return to work the same or next day. You might feel deep ache on chewing or touching treated areas, but this usually settles without stopping regular office routines.
