HIFU Treatment
The non-surgical facelift — focused ultrasound for lifting, tightening and contouring in Singapore with zero downtime.
How It Works
The Science Behind HIFU
Deep Lifting
HIFU precisely targets the SMAS layer at 4.5 mm depth — the same structural layer tightened in surgical facelifts — lifting cheeks, jawline and neck naturally from the foundation up.
Collagen Renewal
Focused ultrasound energy heats targeted layers of skin to stimulate fresh collagen and elastin production — creating firmer, smoother and more elastic skin over the weeks and months following treatment.
Fat Contouring
At greater depths (6–13 mm linear modes), HIFU energy can reduce stubborn subcutaneous fat — including under the chin — refining contours for a slimmer, sharper profile.
Multi-Depth Precision
How Deep Can HIFU Go?
Superficial Dermis
Smooths fine lines and improves skin texture at the surface level for an immediate refinement in skin quality.
Deep Dermis
Stimulates collagen and elastin production for tightening and firming — addressing moderate skin laxity and wrinkles.
SMAS Layer
Lifts and firms the structural foundation of the face — mimicking the lifting effect of a surgical facelift without incisions.
Subcutaneous Fat
Linear modes penetrate the fat layer to reduce double chin, jawline heaviness and body fat deposits for a slimmer contour.

Key Takeaway
Restored Definition. Youthful Contours.
HIFU is one of the most effective non-surgical anti-ageing treatments in Singapore. By reaching up to 4.5 mm into the SMAS layer — and deeper into fat layers — it lifts sagging skin, sculpts the jawline, reduces double chin and softens wrinkles. The result: restored definition and youthful contours, with no downtime.
At MIRAE Medical Aesthetics, every HIFU session is performed by Dr Cherie Lau — ensuring precise energy delivery tailored to your unique facial anatomy.
