HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is an aesthetic innovation whose popularity keeps growing, because it lifts and firms the skin and reduces wrinkles without surgery, without wounds, and with no recovery downtime.

What Is Matrix HIFU and What Does It Do?

It is a non-surgical skin lifting and wrinkle-reduction innovation that uses focused high-frequency ultrasound energy delivered down to the SMAS layer — the same layer plastic surgeons work on in a surgical facelift. When the focused energy reacts with the tissue in the SMAS layer, the tissue contracts and new collagen production is triggered, resulting in firmer skin, fewer wrinkles, and a slimmer-looking face.

MATRIX HIFU

• 1 shot of MATRIX HIFU = 6 shots of ordinary HIFU
• Tightens the double chin and dissolves fat
• Fixes sagging skin, restoring firmness and tightness
• Defined jawline and a slim V-shape face
• No needles, no pain
• No downtime — get straight back to your routine

When will you see results?

Results are visible within 10 minutes of treatment. Collagen production then begins, and the skin gradually becomes smoother and more lifted, with clear results in weeks 2-4, full results in around 2-4 months, and effects lasting up to 1 year.

How HIFU Works

HIFU uses focused high-frequency ultrasound energy delivered to the SMAS layer — the same layer surgeons target in facelift surgery. As the energy reacts with the SMAS tissue, the tissue contracts and new collagen forms, leaving the skin firmer, wrinkles reduced, and the face slimmer.

What Can HIFU Help With?

It offers many aesthetic benefits, such as:

• Lifting and firming the skin
• Reducing wrinkles
• Contouring the face for a slimmer look
• Reducing the double chin
• Lifting the brows
• Reducing under-eye bags

How Long Do HIFU Results Last?

HIFU results last around 1-2 years, depending on several factors, such as:

• The patient's skin condition: younger patients with strong, healthy skin retain results longer than older patients with weaker skin
• The treatment area: areas with highly elastic tissue such as the forehead and cheeks hold results longer than low-elasticity areas such as the neck
• Aftercare: with proper self-care after HIFU — moisturizing and avoiding sun exposure — results last longer

How Many Days Until HIFU Results Show?

HIFU results appear gradually within 1-2 weeks and become clearly visible within 1-2 months. The most noticeable results include:

• Firmer skin
• Fewer wrinkles
• A slimmer face

However, HIFU results do not last forever. Over time the effect gradually fades, so repeat treatment every 1-2 years may be needed to maintain the best results.

HIFU Treatment Prices

HIFU pricing depends on several factors, such as the treatment area, the type of device used, and the doctor's experience. The average price is around 20,000-100,000 THB.

Precautions before HIFU treatment

Before undergoing HIFU, consult a specialist doctor to assess your skin condition and plan the most suitable treatment.

What Causes Skin Burns After HIFU?

Burns after HIFU happen when too much high-frequency energy is delivered into the SMAS layer, overheating the upper skin layers until they burn. Factors that can lead to burns after HIFU include:

• Energy intensity: clinics normally use energy at safe intensity levels, but if a clinic uses excessively intense ultrasound energy, the skin can burn
• Number of shots: clinics normally use just enough shots to lift the skin and reduce wrinkles, but too many shots can burn the skin
• The doctor's experience: experienced doctors are skilled at adjusting the energy to suit each person's skin, reducing the risk of burns

Typical symptoms of a burn after HIFU include:

• Facial redness
• A burning, stinging sensation
• Dry, peeling skin
• Red or dark marks

If you experience burn symptoms after HIFU, see a doctor promptly for treatment. Treatment may involve topical or oral medication to reduce inflammation and restore the skin.

How to prevent burns after HIFU:

• Choose a certified, trustworthy clinic
• Consult a specialist doctor before having HIFU
• Inform the doctor of your medical history and any medications you are taking
• Follow the doctor's instructions strictly

Following the recommendations above will help reduce the risk of burns after HIFU.

Where should you have HIFU done — and how to choose?

When choosing a good HIFU clinic, consider the following factors:

• Clinic standards: the clinic should hold a proper healthcare facility license, with good safety and hygiene standards
• The doctor's experience: the doctor performing HIFU should be well experienced and skilled in the procedure
• Equipment: the clinic should use high-quality, modern HIFU devices
• Price: HIFU pricing depends on factors such as the treatment area, device type and doctor's experience — compare prices across clinics before deciding

You can also weigh additional factors, such as:

• Customer reviews: read reviews from customers who have had HIFU at the clinic to inform your decision
• Location: choose a clinic near your home or workplace for convenience

Considering all of the factors above will help you choose a good, safe HIFU clinic.

Tips for choosing a HIFU clinic

• Avoid clinics with prices that are too low — they can compromise safety and results
• Book a consultation with the doctor before treatment so your skin can be assessed and a suitable plan made
• Follow the doctor's aftercare instructions strictly for the best results

How Many Shots of HIFU Do You Need?

The right number of HIFU shots depends on the treatment area and each person's skin condition. A specialist doctor will assess and plan the appropriate treatment.

In general, HIFU treatment areas use the following average number of shots:

• Forehead: around 100-200 shots
• Cheeks: around 300-500 shots
• Under-eye area: around 100-200 shots
• Nasolabial folds: around 200-300 shots
• Double chin: around 200-300 shots
• Front of the neck: around 600-1,000 shots

As for skin condition: younger patients with strong skin who want dramatic results may need more HIFU than older patients with more delicate skin who want a subtler result.

HIFU should therefore always begin with a specialist consultation to assess your skin and plan treatment. The doctor will weigh factors such as the treatment area, skin condition, age, and the results you want, to deliver the safest and most effective outcome.
