HIFU Skin Tightening | How It Works & Who It’s For

If you’re noticing skin laxity, loss of firmness, or changes in facial or body contour, HIFU may be the treatment your skin needs.

In this video, Lauren, Clinic Manager at Cannelle Skin Clinic in Oxford, explains how HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) works, who it’s suitable for, and why a consultation is essential before treatment.

HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to target the deeper layers of tissue beneath the skin — including the SMAS layer — without damaging the surface. This stimulates collagen production and supports gradual, natural skin tightening over time.

Key points covered in this video:
• How HIFU works at a deeper tissue level
• Why consultation is essential before treatment
• Who HIFU is suitable for (face, neck, and body)
• How treatment areas and depth are planned
• What results to expect and how long they take to develop

HIFU is commonly recommended for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity, particularly around the jawline, neck, face, and body. At Cannelle, HIFU treatments are carefully planned by area and tissue depth, ensuring safe, effective, and personalised outcomes.

Results develop gradually as collagen is stimulated. Most patients require 2–3 sessions, with maintenance depending on individual response and goals.

If you’d like to see whether HIFU is right for your skin, we always start with a consultation to assess suitability and create a tailored treatment plan.
