HIFU
What is HIFU?
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses ultrasound energy to tighten skin, reduce sagging, and enhance facial contours—without surgery or injections. It works by stimulating collagen production deep within the skin’s layers, delivering a natural lift over time.
At One Aesthetics, Gurgaon, HIFU is performed using advanced technology under the expert care of Dr. Athreya Rajagopal, offering a safe and effective solution for those looking to delay or avoid a surgical facelift.
How Does HIFU Work?
HIFU delivers precisely focused ultrasound waves at controlled depths (1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm) beneath the skin surface. These waves:
Heat the targeted tissues to about 60–70°C
Trigger a wound-healing response
Stimulate new collagen and elastin production
Result in skin tightening and lifting over 2–3 months
