How does HIFU sculpt the jawline?
The handpiece sends focused ultrasound to set depths under the skin, reaching the firm layer that holds up your lower face without harming the surface. Our Ultraformer HIFU works in lines along the jawline, under the chin and over the lower cheeks.
Each tiny point of heat makes collagen contract, then rebuild over the following weeks. In a study of Asian patients, the jawline and cheeks improved the most of seven facial areas, and a 3D-scan study measured about 3 mm of lift along the jaw. The result is a natural-looking lift, with no surgery.
Who shouldn’t have HIFU face sculpting?
HIFU face sculpting isn’t for you if you are pregnant, have broken skin, acne or an infection along the jaw, or a metal implant there. Very heavy jowls, or fullness that is mostly fat, need another approach. Your doctor checks this at your consultation.
HIFU face sculpting, step by step
- Free consultation: your doctor looks at your jaw, chin and neck and checks whether loose skin or fat is the issue.
- Preparation: the lower face is cleansed and mapped; numbing cream if you want it.
- Treatment: ultrasound lines along the jaw, chin and lower cheeks, about 45–90 minutes depending on the areas.
- Results: the jawline firms gradually, with the main change at 2–3 months.
- Top-up: one session a year to keep the contour.
Jawline results and recovery
A first tightening can show on the day, then your sharper outline builds over two to three months as collagen renews. In studies, results held for up to a year, and a yearly session keeps your contour crisp.
Your jaw may feel tender, or look a little pink and puffy, for a few hours to a few days. Brief tingling or numbness along the jaw is uncommon. You can go straight back to work.
Aftercare
- Make-up can go back on the same day
- Avoid sauna, steam and hot yoga for 2 days
- Treat a tender jaw gently for a few days
- Use sunscreen daily to protect new collagen
