At Balanced Body Spa in Los Angeles, we offer High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) facials — a cutting-edge treatment designed to naturally stimulate collagen, reduce wrinkles, and give your skin a firmer, more youthful look.
Results & Longevity
- Immediate tightening may be noticed
- Best results develop in 2–3 months
- Results last 6–12 months, sometimes up to 2 years
- Maintenance treatments help prolong results
What is HIFU?
HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to target the deep SMAS layer of your skin — the same layer treated in surgical facelifts. The energy stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, gradually lifting and tightening your skin from within.
- Non-surgical & non-invasive
- Natural collagen regeneration
- Progressive, long-lasting results
How It Works
Your skin is cleansed and prepared with a special gel.
A handheld device delivers ultrasound energy deep beneath the skin.
You may feel a warm or tingling sensation as collagen production is activated.
Treatment time: 30–90 minutes
Downtime: Minimal to none
Benefits of HIFU
