HIFU & MMFU – naturally firmer skin

If you would like firmer facial contours and a more defined jawline, HIFU may be a suitable treatment for you. Ultraformer III uses MMFU technology, or micro- and macro-focused ultrasound.

At Kuulas, we begin by assessing your skin and discussing the changes you would like to see.

Who is HIFU suitable for?

When facial contours need more firmness

Loosening of the skin and soft tissues can appear as a softer jawline or laxity in the lower face and neck. HIFU aims to improve firmness in these areas without surgery.

The treatment is best suited to mild to moderate laxity. Before treatment, we assess your skin condition, the amount of tissue and your previous treatments. We explain what the treatment can aim to achieve and when another option may be more suitable. HIFU does not replace a surgical facelift.

If you are not yet sure which treatment to choose, book a consultation and first treatment. We will choose a suitable treatment together.

Results and client experiences

Some clients notice improved firmness soon after treatment. The main change develops gradually as collagen renews in the skin. Results are usually assessed after around 2–3 months.

The extent and duration of the results vary between individuals. A visible outcome cannot be guaranteed, and any repeat treatment is planned according to your starting point and goals.

HIFU treatment visit at Kuulas

What happens during treatment

Your visit starts with a conversation

We first discuss your wishes, health and previous treatments. We then plan the areas to be treated. The skin is cleansed and ultrasound gel is applied.

During HIFU treatment, you may feel warmth, tingling or pain. Tell us how it feels so we can adjust the treatment. The length of the visit depends on the area being treated; the exact appointment duration is shown in the booking system.

Ultraformer III directs focused ultrasound energy through the skin's surface into selected tissue layers. Ultraformer III uses MMFU technology, or micro- and macro-focused ultrasound. The treatment tip and depth are selected for the area being treated. The thermal effect aims to improve tissue firmness and stimulate collagen renewal. After treatment, you receive home care instructions and we agree on how to review your results.

Before and after treatment

Before treatment

Before treatment, we review your health, medications and previous treatments to assess whether HIFU is suitable for you. Please also tell us about any implants. Treatment is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or on broken or inflamed skin. A pacemaker or another electronic implant is a contraindication.

After treatment

We provide home care instructions tailored to your skin. Avoid saunas, strenuous exercise that causes sweating, and sunbathing on the day of treatment.

Temporary redness, swelling or tenderness may occur. Bruising or temporary changes in sensation are also possible. We discuss potential side effects and recovery with you before treatment. Contact us if a symptom concerns you, persists or worsens.

Frequently asked questions about HIFU

Suitability and the details of treatment are always assessed individually.

You may feel warmth, tingling or pain during treatment. Sensations vary with the treatment area and from person to person. Tell your therapist how it feels so that the treatment can be adjusted.

The number of treatments and any repeat treatment are planned according to your skin's starting condition and your goals. We allow time for the results to develop before assessing the next steps.

Some people notice improved firmness soon after treatment. Results develop gradually, usually over around 2–3 months. The outcome and how long it lasts vary between individuals.

Tell us about dermal fillers and other injectable treatments before your appointment. We do not perform HIFU in an area containing filler. The appropriate treatment sequence is assessed individually.

HIFU directs ultrasound energy through the skin's surface into tissue layers. RF microneedling combines needles with radiofrequency energy. The choice depends on your skin's condition and your goals.

Book a consultation and first treatment. We assess your skin and goals and plan a suitable treatment. HIFU is not automatically performed during the same visit.

The duration depends on the device selected and the areas being treated. The exact appointment time is shown in the booking system. Your visit also includes a suitability assessment and treatment planning.

Avoid strenuous exercise that causes sweating, saunas and sunbathing on the day of treatment. Follow the individual aftercare instructions provided by your therapist.

Your skin may look red and feel tender. Swelling, bruising or temporary numbness may also occur. The duration of symptoms varies. Contact the clinic if symptoms are severe, worsen or concern you.

For example, treatment is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, on broken or inflamed skin, or on clients with a pacemaker or another electronic implant. Tell us about medical conditions, medications, implants and previous treatments. Medications affecting blood clotting, diabetes, epilepsy and autoimmune conditions are among the factors that require an individual suitability assessment. This is not an exhaustive list.

You can usually wear make-up after HIFU treatment. If your skin is irritated or your therapist advises otherwise, follow your individual instructions.

How long results last depends on your skin's starting condition, your individual response and ageing. Treatment does not stop the ageing process. The need for repeat treatment is assessed once the results have developed; there is no single treatment interval for everyone.

We cannot guarantee a specific visible outcome. Treatment response varies between individuals. Before treatment, we assess what can realistically be achieved from your starting point and whether another treatment might be more suitable.

Before HIFU, tell us the name and date of your injectable treatment and which areas were treated. The interval and sequence are assessed according to the product used and the treatment area. The same waiting period does not apply to all injectable treatments. Guidance on dermal fillers is provided in a separate answer.

The price depends on the device, the size of the treatment area and what the treatment includes. When comparing options, consider the therapist's training and experience, the technology used, and how suitability and aftercare are assessed. At Kuulas, Ultraformer III and Caretech 7D++ treatments have separate price lists.

Both use focused ultrasound, but they are different devices. At Kuulas, Ultraformer III is used for the face, jawline, neck and décolletage. Selected treatments with Caretech 7D++ remain available under its own price list. The suitable option is chosen according to your skin, tissue and goals.

No. Purchasing a treatment online and booking an appointment are separate steps. Please book your appointment through our booking system. If you are unsure which treatment to choose, book a consultation and first treatment.
