Looking for a natural lift without surgery? The HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) treatment at Skin Science Clinic, Nerul, Navi Mumbai, offers a safe, effective, and non-invasive way to tighten and lift sagging skin — restoring youthful firmness without downtime. “HIFU works by stimulating deep layers of the skin to rebuild collagen and elasticity — all without needles or cuts,” explains Dr. Kiran Chahal, aesthetic dermatologist at the clinic.
What is HIFU?
HIFU, also known as Ultherapy, is a US FDA-approved, non-surgical skin tightening procedure that uses focused ultrasound energy to target the deeper structural layers of the skin — the same layers treated during a surgical facelift. Unlike surgery, it doesn’t damage the surface and requires no recovery time.
How HIFU Works
The HIFU device delivers precise ultrasound energy to specific depths below the skin surface, creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural collagen regeneration process. “The heat causes existing collagen to contract while new collagen forms, resulting in visible lifting and tightening over time,” says Dr. Dhananjay Malage, skin and laser specialist at Skin Science Clinic.
During treatment, you may feel gentle warmth or a mild tingling sensation — a positive sign that collagen activation has begun.
Visible Results, Zero Downtime
Some patients notice a mild lift immediately, but optimal results develop gradually over 2–3 months as new collagen builds. The skin appears firmer, smoother, and more defined — especially around the jawline, cheeks, and neck. Results can last up to 9–12 months, depending on age, skin health, and lifestyle.
