Who this page is for
HIFU is a focused-ultrasound device used for non-surgical lifting and firming. It is one of several lifting tools — your doctor will explain whether it suits your specific anatomy and goals.
Mild to moderate skin laxity
Subtle softening of the jawline or lower face that you would like clinically assessed.
Preferring non-surgical options
Researching firming approaches without surgery and curious how HIFU compares to other devices and threads.
Considering combination plans
Exploring how lifting may sit alongside skin-quality treatments like Profhilo, skin boosters, or RF.
Maintenance planning
Looking at periodic firming as part of a longer-term plan rather than a one-off transformation.
— What this involves
What HIFU involves
HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) delivers focused acoustic energy into specific layers of skin and underlying tissue. It is designed to support collagen activity and contribute to gradual firmness over the months that follow.
Most HIFU sessions take around 30–60 minutes depending on the area and protocol. Discomfort during treatment is typically temporary and managed by your provider. Mild redness and tenderness may persist briefly afterwards.
Results develop gradually over several weeks to a few months. HIFU is not a substitute for a surgical facelift, and outcomes vary by skin quality, anatomy, and lifestyle. Your doctor will confirm whether it is appropriate or whether a different approach may serve you better.

Common questions
Ultherapy is a branded HIFU device — both use focused ultrasound energy for non-surgical lifting and skin tightening. The core technology is similar, but protocols, handpiece design, and energy delivery may differ between HIFU brands. At DrPlus in Johor Bahru, your doctor will explain which device and settings are used in your treatment plan and whether HIFU is the right lifting approach for your skin.
DrPlus Aesthetic Clinic is located in Iskandar Puteri, Johor Bahru — accessible to patients across JB and approximately 30 minutes from the Singapore checkpoint. HIFU consultations are doctor-led and private, with no obligation to proceed on the same day.
No. HIFU is a non-surgical, energy-based lifting and skin tightening treatment. It does not replace a surgical facelift. For some patients with mild to moderate laxity, it may be a reasonable option — your doctor will confirm suitability.
HIFU pricing depends on the areas treated — full face, jawline, double chin, or brow — and the protocol your doctor recommends, so we quote after an assessment rather than publishing a flat price. You receive a personalised, written quote with no obligation to proceed. WhatsApp us and we can explain what your plan would involve.
Names like 7D HIFU, Ultraformer III, Ultracel Q+, Liftera, and Doublo are device brands — all deliver high-intensity focused ultrasound, with differences in cartridge depths, shot patterns, and comfort features. In practice, patient selection and treatment mapping matter more than the brand on the machine. At your consultation, your doctor will explain the device and protocol used at DrPlus and whether HIFU is the right lifting approach for your face at all.
Yes — the under-chin area and jawline are among the most commonly treated HIFU zones. Focused ultrasound can firm mild submental fullness and soften early jowling for a more defined lower face. If your concern is mainly fat volume rather than skin laxity, your doctor may recommend a different or combined approach after assessment.
Many patients are reviewed for maintenance once a year, though some protocols involve more than one session. The right schedule depends on your skin response, lifestyle, and goals.
Sensations vary by area and depth. Brief warmth or pinpricks may be felt during treatment. Most discomfort is temporary; your provider will pace the session around how you feel.
Most patients experience minimal downtime. Mild redness, slight tenderness, or temporary swelling may occur and typically settle within a day or two.
Improvements are gradual, with most patients noticing change over the weeks following treatment. The fuller effect typically develops over a few months. Results vary by individual.
DrPlus Aesthetic Clinic in Iskandar Puteri offers doctor-led HIFU consultations. Patients from across Johor Bahru, Iskandar Puteri, and Singapore are welcome. You may book privately and discuss suitability without committing to treatment on the day.
