HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-surgical skin lifting and tightening treatment that uses advanced ultrasound technology to contour the face, improve skin elasticity, and stimulate collagen production. It offers natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
At GLOJAS Specialist Clinic, we offer HIFU treatments to lift and tighten your skin non-surgically. Using advanced ultrasound technology, HIFU enhances skin elasticity, stimulates collagen production, and contours the face for natural-looking, rejuvenated results with minimal downtime, giving you a youthful, refreshed appearance.
HIFU, or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) targets deep skin layers, stimulating collagen regeneration. It enhances firmness, smoothness, and overall facial structure while avoiding incisions or invasive procedures.
Through precise heat coagulation points, HIFU triggers collagen regeneration, resulting in natural tightening over 8–12 weeks.
A 2024 dermatology review reports up to a 25% increase in collagen density, making HIFU an effective option for mild to moderate skin laxity.
HIFU penetrates the dermis and SMAS layers using focused ultrasound. Energy heats targeted tissue, triggering collagen renewal and lifting effects. Results improve gradually over weeks, creating long-lasting, natural-looking skin tightening.
1.5mm Depth – Superficial Skin Tightening
Improves fine lines, pores, and skin texture.
3.0mm Depth – Dermal Collagen Activation
Stimulates new collagen fibres for firming.
4.5mm Depth – SMAS Lifting Layer
Creates a lifting effect similar to surgical tightening without incisions.
The treatment is safe, controlled, and approved for cosmetic use.
Results develop gradually as your skin produces new collagen. You may notice a subtle lift immediately after treatment, but the most noticeable improvements usually appear within 4 to 12 weeks. Skin continues to tighten for up to 6 months, with results typically lasting 9 to 18 months, depending on age, skin condition, and lifestyle.
Most patients find the treatment comfortable, feeling only mild heat or gentle tingling under the skin. Any discomfort is brief and occurs only during the ultrasound pulses. At GLOJAS Specialist Clinic, our doctors adjust energy levels to provide a safe, comfortable, and personalized experience for each patient.
This is a safe, non-invasive procedure with minimal risks. Temporary side effects may include mild redness, swelling, tingling, or tenderness, which usually resolve within a few hours to days. Rarely, temporary numbness or bruising can occur. All treatments are performed by LCP-certified aesthetic doctors to ensure the highest level of safety and care.

HIFU cost in Malaysia varies based on device type, treatment area, and practitioner expertise.
Typical price range:
Face + Neck: RM 1,500 – RM 4,500

Clinics using certified medical-grade HIFU tend to offer safer and more consistent results.
Ultrasound vs Radiofrequency (RF)
Ultrasound energy reaches deeper layers of the skin, including the SMAS, for lifting and tightening, while RF primarily works on the superficial layers to improve texture and firmness.
Ultrasound vs Thread Lift
Ultrasound stimulates collagen production, whereas thread lifts mechanically lift and reposition tissue. Both treatments can complement each other depending on the severity of skin laxity.
Ultrasound vs Surgical Facelift
Non-surgical ultrasound treatments provide gradual lifting and tightening, making them ideal for early to moderate sagging. Surgical facelifts offer more dramatic results but are more invasive.
