What Is HIFU?
HIFU stands for high-intensity focused ultrasound. Ultrasound energy is focused at set depths beneath the skin, creating gentle heat. This prompts the skin’s natural repair process and supports new collagen, which can help skin look firmer and more lifted over time.
Supports Collagen
Focused heat helps the skin produce new collagen over time.
Lifted Appearance
Can help lift the look of the brows, cheeks and jawline.
Firmer-Looking Skin
Helps loose skin on the face, neck and body look tighter.
No Needles or Surgery
The skin surface is not broken during treatment.
Little Downtime
Most people go back to their usual day straight afterwards.

Straight After
Mild redness or slight swelling can occur and fades quickly.
The Following Weeks
Skin gradually looks firmer as it responds to treatment.
Further Sessions
A course of 3 sessions is usually recommended for the best results.
Maintenance
Top-up sessions can help maintain your results.
Results vary from person to person, depending on your skin, age and lifestyle. Your therapist will explain what you can realistically expect at your consultation.

HIFU vs Morpheus8 vs a Surgical Facelift
HIFU is often called a non-surgical facelift, but it is not the same as surgery, and it is not the only skin tightening option at our Leicester clinic. Here is how it compares, so you can choose with your eyes open.
| HIFU (Ultra 4D Platinum) | Morpheus8 | Surgical facelift | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it works | Focused ultrasound heats set depths beneath the skin | Fine needles deliver radiofrequency energy into the skin | A surgeon lifts and removes skin |
| Needles or cuts | No needles, skin not broken | Needles (microneedling) | Surgery under anaesthetic |
| Downtime | Little or none for most people | Redness for a few days | Several weeks |
| Suits | Mild to moderate sagging on the face, neck and body | Loose skin plus texture, scarring and pores | More advanced sagging |
| Results | Build gradually over weeks | Build over a course of sessions | Most dramatic, longest recovery |
| At ND Skin | From £150 per area | Morpheus8 in Leicester | Not offered |
Not sure which suits you? Your consultation is the place to ask.

Areas We Treat with HIFU
HIFU can be used on the face, neck and body. The depth and settings are adjusted for each area.
Popular areas
- Eye area and forehead
- Lower face and jawline
- Full face and neck
- Neck and décolletage
- Tummy, inner thighs, arms and buttocks
Is HIFU Right for You?
HIFU may suit you if you have mild to moderate loose skin and want a non-surgical option. Your therapist will check your skin and medical history at your consultation to make sure it is right for you.
It may suit you if you have
- Early signs of sagging on the face or neck
- A less defined jawline
- Hooded or heavy-looking brows
- Loose skin on the tummy, arms or thighs
- A preference for treatment without needles
Who Should Not Have HIFU?
HIFU is not right for everyone. We check your medical history at your consultation and will tell you honestly if another treatment, or no treatment, is the better choice. We may advise you to wait or not to have HIFU if you:
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
We wait until afterwards.
Have broken or infected skin
Open wounds, active acne, cold sores or infection in the area need to settle first.
Have implants in the area
Metal implants, a pacemaker or other electronic implants need to be discussed before treatment.
Have had recent filler or threads
We will advise on timing so treatments do not interfere with each other.
Have certain medical conditions
Some conditions and medicines, such as blood thinners, mean HIFU may not be suitable.
Have very loose skin
Where sagging is more advanced, HIFU may not give the result you want, and we will say so.
This is not a full list. Please tell us about any medicines, implants or medical conditions before your treatment.

Frequently asked questions
What is HIFU?
HIFU stands for high-intensity focused ultrasound. It focuses ultrasound energy beneath the skin to support new collagen, which can help skin look firmer and more lifted.
Who carries out the treatment?
Your HIFU treatment is carried out by one of our qualified therapists, trained on the equipment and fully insured.
Does it hurt?
Most people feel warmth or small pulses during treatment. Sensation varies by area, and your therapist will check you are comfortable throughout.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is usually minimal. Some people have mild redness, swelling or tingling that settles within hours to days.
How many sessions will I need?
For the best results we usually recommend a course of 3 HIFU sessions. Your therapist will plan the timing with you, and many clients then choose a top-up as their skin needs it.
How long does HIFU last, and when will I see results?
Results build gradually over the weeks after treatment as new collagen forms, so you will not see the full effect straight away. How long they last depends on your skin, age and lifestyle, because skin keeps ageing naturally, and many people choose a top-up session to maintain them. Results vary from person to person.
Is HIFU a non-surgical facelift?
HIFU is often called a non-surgical facelift because it can help the face, jawline and neck look lifted without surgery. It is not the same as a surgical facelift and the results are more subtle. It tends to suit mild to moderate sagging.
Is this the same as Ultherapy?
No. Ultherapy is a different brand of focused ultrasound device. We use the Ultra 4D Platinum, a separate HIFU system with its own handpieces and cartridges. Both focus ultrasound energy at set depths beneath the skin, but they are different machines, so treatments and prices are not directly comparable.
HIFU or Morpheus8: which is right for me?
HIFU uses focused ultrasound with no needles and little downtime. Morpheus8 uses fine needles with radiofrequency, so it can also help texture and scarring, with a few days of redness. Your therapist will recommend one, or a combination, at your consultation.
Can HIFU help jowls or under the chin?
HIFU on the lower face and neck can help skin along the jawline and under the chin look tighter and more defined. It is not a weight-loss treatment.
Can men have HIFU?
Yes. Men often book HIFU for the jawline, neck and under the chin. The treatment and prices are the same.
How long does a HIFU session take?
Usually 30 to 90 minutes, depending on how many areas you are having treated. A single area such as the eye area and forehead is at the quicker end.
How much does HIFU cost?
Single sessions start at £150 for the eye area and forehead. A course of 3, which we usually recommend, starts at £400 and saves up to £300 compared with single sessions. See the full price list above. Your consultation is £35, redeemable against your treatment or anything you book afterwards, with no obligation to book.
Where is your clinic?
We are at 32 Bell Street, Wigston, Leicester LE18 1AD, about 5 minutes by car from Oadby and South Wigston and around 15 minutes from Leicester city centre. Call 0116 288 7267 if you need directions.
Is HIFU suitable for all skin tones?
HIFU works with focused ultrasound rather than light, so it is not aimed at the pigment in your skin and can be considered for a wide range of skin tones. We check your skin and medical history at your consultation first.
Do I need time off work after HIFU?
Most people go straight back to work or their usual day. Some notice mild redness, swelling or tenderness, which usually settles within hours to a few days.
Can I have HIFU with injectables or fillers?
Often yes, but timing matters. If you have had, or are planning, anti-wrinkle injections, dermal filler or threads, tell us and we will advise how to space your treatments.
Can I wear make-up after HIFU?
Most people can wear make-up again later the same day or the next day. Your therapist will give you aftercare advice for your skin.
What age is HIFU for?
HIFU tends to suit adults who are starting to notice early sagging or loss of definition, often from their 30s onwards. It is also used to maintain results as skin ages. We will tell you honestly whether it suits you.
