What is Synergy Pro Hifu?

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive treatment used for face lifting and skin tightening. It works by delivering focused ultrasound energy deep into the skin layers, targeting the deeper layers of tissue (such as the SMAS layer), which is typically addressed in traditional facelifts.

Hifu utilises different cartridges, each cartridge targets a specific depth without harming the surrounding tissues (focused). So all skin concerns can be treated.


Here's How it works

1. Ultrasound Energy: HIFU uses ultrasound waves, which are high-frequency sound waves, to target specific layers beneath the skin without damaging the surface.

2. Deep Tissue Heating: The energy is precisely focused to heat the deeper layers of skin and underlying tissues. This heating causes controlled thermal damage to these areas.

3. Collagen Production: The heat stimulates collagen production and tightens the existing collagen fibers. Collagen is a protein responsible for skin structure and elasticity, so increasing its production helps reduce sagging and improve skin firmness.

4. Lifting Effect: Over time, the body responds to the thermal stimulation by tightening and lifting the treated areas, which results in a more youthful appearance.

5. Non-Surgical: Since the treatment is non-invasive, there are no incisions or needles involved, making it a popular alternative to surgical facelifts.
Results from HIFU are gradual and can continue to improve over the following months as collagen production increases.
Typically, one treatment session is sufficient, but some individuals may benefit from additional sessions depending on their skin condition and desired results.

HIFU is an effective non-invasive treatment for lifting and tightening the skin, but it won’t duplicate the results of a surgical facelift. It’s ideal for individuals who are not yet ready for a facelift and are seeking an alternative to surgery.
While it can provide noticeable lifting, firming, and skin rejuvenation, the effects are more subtle compared to a traditional facelift. HIFU works best for people with mild to moderate skin laxity who want to enhance their appearance without undergoing more invasive procedures.


HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) stands out as the only non-surgical aesthetic treatment that can specifically target and lift the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer, which is one of the deepest layers of the skin and connective tissue. Here is how it works and why its unique:


1. SMAS Layer and Its Role in Facelifts

The SMAS layer is a dense connective tissue structure that lies beneath the skin and above the underlying muscles. It plays a crucial role in the appearance of facial sagging. When the SMAS layer loses its strength and elasticity due to aging or gravity, the skin can sag, leading to a drooping appearance, particularly in areas like the cheeks, jawline, and neck. Traditional facelifts involve surgically lifting and tightening the SMAS layer to restore a more youthful, firm look to the face. This process requires incisions and recovery time.


2. How HIFU Targets the SMAS Layer

HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to deliver precise heat to different layers of the skin, including the SMAS layer, without causing damage to the skins surface. The ultrasound energy is focused at specific depths, typically at 4.5mm, which is the depth where the SMAS layer is located. The high-intensity ultrasound waves create thermal coagulation points in the SMAS layer. This controlled thermal energy stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin elasticity. Over time, the heat also causes the SMAS layer to contract and tighten, providing a lifting effect.


3. Why HIFU is Unique

While many other non-surgical treatments, such as lasers or radiofrequency, work on the skins surface or the dermis (the layer just below the epidermis), HIFU ability to focus ultrasound energy deep enough to reach the SMAS layer makes it unique.

Collagen stimulation: By targeting the SMAS layer and deeper tissues, HIFU triggers the body's natural healing response, which leads to collagen regeneration and tightening over time. This mimics the results of a facelift, but without the need for surgery or recovery.

Non-invasive: Unlike facelifts, which require incisions, anaesthesia, and recovery, HIFU is a non-invasive procedure with no downtime. The treatment is performed through the skins surface, with ultrasound energy delivered deep into the tissue layers.

Precision and safety: HIFU precisely targets the SMAS layer without damaging surrounding tissues, offering a safe alternative to surgery while achieving lifting and tightening results.


4. Results and Longevity

The results of HIFU are gradual, typically becoming visible over 2-3 months as collagen production increases and the skin tightens. While not as immediate or dramatic as a surgical facelift, HIFU provides a more natural-looking lift that lasts for up to 1-2 years, depending on the individual. 

HIFU is the only non-surgical treatment capable of directly targeting and lifting the SMAS layer, which is key to a surgical facelift. This makes it a revolutionary alternative for those seeking a more youthful appearance without the risks, costs, and recovery associated with surgery.

Jaw Contouring & Slimming 

In addition to lifting and tightening the skin on the face, HIFU also targets fat under the chin, making it an effective treatment for reducing the appearance of a double chin. The ultrasound energy selectively heats and breaks down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. This fat-targeting effect can contour the jawline and improve the profile.


Body contouring & tightening 
HIFU can also be used on other areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or arms, to tighten skin and reduce localized fat. Like with facial treatments, it stimulates collagen production and promotes skin tightening while helping to contour the body. This makes HIFU a versatile option for both facial rejuvenation and body sculpting, without the need for surgery.

Cellulite reduction 
HIFU is also effective for treating cellulite, a condition where the skin appears dimpled due to fat deposits pushing against the connective tissue beneath. The ultrasound energy targets the deeper layers of the skin, where it helps to break down fat cells and stimulate collagen production. This process can improve the texture of the skin, smooth out the appearance of cellulite, and tighten the surrounding tissue, leading to a more even and toned look.

Because HIFU promotes both fat reduction and skin tightening, its a highly effective treatment for people looking to reduce the appearance of cellulite, particularly in areas like the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. Its a non-invasive alternative to more traditional cellulite treatments, offering a natural and gradual improvement in skin appearance over time.


Hifu Questions

 How long does it take for hifu results to become visible?

The initial effects of the treatment begin to appear within the first 20 days of the treatment. However, it can take around 3 to 6 months for full results to become visible. Around 20% of HIFU users report being able to experience the benefits of the treatment immediately after the first in-clinic session. As each individual reacts differently to the treatment, the time until results appear varies for every person.


How long do hifu results last?

The full effects of the HIFU will be present for at least 6 months. With proper care and a healthy lifestyle, the benefits of the treatment can last for up to 18 – 24 months. Please bear in mind that while the HIFU Facelift can remedy signs of ageing, it is not a cure for ageing skin.

After the full effects of the treatment have manifested, the skin continues to age as it normally would. Inevitably, the signs of ageing will return. To enjoy continued benefits, you may book additional treatments in a year or two.


How many hifu sessions are needed for best results?

Most of our clients receive the intended benefits after 1 to 2 in-clinic sessions. However, some people may need a few more treatments to achieve the same. The initial effects typically begin to appear within 20 days of the treatment. More defined results become visible within the first 6 to 8 weeks. The full results come into effect within 3 to 6 months of the final in-clinic HIFU session.


How long do the hifu treatments last?

Typically, the in-clinic sessions for HIFU last between 30 to 90 minutes.


Is the hifu treatment painful?

HIFU Facelift is a relatively pain-free procedure. However, it is not completely free of discomfort. During the procedure, the focused warmth from the applicator is accompanied by some tingling and prickling sensations like mild electric pulses.


Are there any side effects?

HIFU is mostly free of subsequent side effects. Some post-treatment redness and swelling can be expected. They are both mild and abate within a few days when they occur. Additionally, some people may feel a gentle tingling sensation in the treated areas for a few weeks.


How long does it take to recover after a hifu session?

Despite high efficacy, HIFU is non-invasive and does not require users to recover afterwards. People having undergone the treatment can safely and immediately resume their regular activities.


How safe is the hifu procedure?

HIFU Facelift is a very safe procedure. None of the risks associated with a surgical facelift is an issue with the HIFU treatment. Furthermore, all the equipment used by Whitehouse Aesthetics is CE-certified and undergoes routine maintenance.


What kind of aftercare is required?

Although it lasts only a few days, aftercare is essential to the treatment. Without it, the most successful treatment benefits may be unattainable. Our clients are provided with a detailed aftercare routine during the HIFU consultation. The most common aftercare steps include the following:

  • Drinking plenty of fluids (water is best)
  • Protecting the treated area from strong or direct sunlight
  • Giving up alcoholic beverages
  • Protecting the treated skin from hot water (no hot baths, showers, or washes)
  • Not scratching the treated area
  • Recommended Collagen supplements to enhance HIFU’S benefits


What areas can be treated with hifu?

The treatment can be performed on practically all areas of the face & body, either all together or just individual areas. Additionally, the HIFU procedure can also be done on surrounding areas such as the neck and décolletage.

Here is a full list of areas that we treat using HIFU:

  • Full face, neck & décolletage
  • Eyelift
  • Jaw lift
  • Neck lift
  • Décolletage
  • Arms
  • Stomach/waist
  • Legs

How should i prepare for the hifu treatment?

While no formal preparation is required for HIFU , we ask our clients to be mindful of a few things, such as:

  • Not getting a tan on the area(s) of treatment for at least 2 weeks before the in-clinic HIFU appointment,
  • Stopping the use of skin products that cause irritation (regardless of how major or minor),
  • For people who are on prescription medicine, to book the in-clinic HIFU appointment after at least 2 weeks will have passed since the last dose, and
  • Not using any facial skin products (moisturisers, makeup, etc.) on the day of the treatment.

Additionally, if a client shows up to the clinic with a fever or a cold sore, we will insist they reschedule the treatment appointment.
