A non-surgical lift using high-intensity focused ultrasound. It tightens and redefines the jawline by working deep — where no injectable can reach. No downtime.
In short
Facial HIFU uses focused ultrasound to tighten the skin from within, with no needles or incisions. A session takes 60–90 minutes with no downtime, and results last 12–18 months. Price: €150–280 depending on the area. Treatment is performed by Dr. Rubén Bermejo Pérez, a registered aesthetic physician (COMB no. 63226), at Clínica Sagrada Família, Barcelona.
Dr. Bermejo explains why HIFU is the closest thing to a lift without surgery, and when results show.
Medical judgement
“HIFU doesn't fill or paralyse. It activates the tissue's own tightening mechanisms — that's why the result improves over weeks and looks natural.”Dr. Rubén Bermejo Pérez
How it works · Facial HIFU
The closest thing to a lift, without surgery.
Energy is concentrated at precise points under the skin.
It works on the dermis and the SMAS, the layer that supports the face.
The skin tightens gradually over two to three months.
What it treats
Over the years gravity pulls tissue down and the jawline loses definition. HIFU works on the SMAS layer — the same layer addressed in a surgical facelift — stimulating collagen and tightening tissue from within. The result is gradual and develops over months.
The neck and the area under the chin are among the first to show loss of firmness. HIFU tightens lax skin under the chin and redefines the neck–chin angle — the result reads as a younger neck and a sharper jaw.
Loss of firmness in the cheeks deepens the nasolabial folds and reduces midface projection. HIFU in the cheek area gently lifts tissue and improves the cheek–fold relationship — without filler.
HIFU naturally complements hyaluronic acid treatments. While filler replaces volume, HIFU tightens the tissue that supports it. Combining them gives a more complete, longer-lasting result than either alone.

Results last 12 to 18 months depending on age, skin quality and lifestyle. One maintenance session a year is recommended.
It depends on the areas treated. Full face and neck takes longer than a partial treatment.
Possible redness or a feeling of warmth for the first few hours. Normal life straight away.
It depends on the extent of the areas treated. Detailed at the assessment.

The guide price is €150–280. It depends on the extent of the areas treated and is detailed at the assessment. The first consultation is free. You can see all fees on the prices page.
Usually 12–18 months, depending on age, skin quality and lifestyle. One maintenance session a year is recommended.
At Clínica Sagrada Família, C/ Torras i Pujalt 1 (3rd floor), Barcelona. It is performed personally by Dr. Rubén Bermejo Pérez, registered physician no. 63226.
There is some discomfort — HIFU is the non-invasive treatment you feel most. Intensity varies with the area and the depth of the cartridge. Most patients describe a tolerable warmth and tingling. We apply cold gel during the session for comfort.
The result starts to show at 4–6 weeks and keeps improving up to 3–6 months. It isn't immediate — the tissue needs time to produce new collagen. That's exactly what makes it look natural.
In most cases one session is enough. Repeating it every 12–18 months is recommended for maintenance. With more marked laxity, a second session may be considered at 6 months.
No. Radiofrequency heats the superficial layers of the skin. HIFU focuses energy at precise, deeper points — including the SMAS — without affecting the surface. They are different technologies with different uses and depths.
Yes. HIFU combines very well with hyaluronic acid fillers — filler restores volume and HIFU tightens the supporting tissue. It's also compatible with botulinum toxin and biostimulators. The order and interval between treatments are decided at the assessment.
No. There may be some redness or warmth for the first few hours, which goes away on its own. You can wear make-up and carry on as normal straight away.
Most often between 35 and 60, with mild to moderate laxity. Below 35 it's rarely needed. Above 60 with very severe laxity, HIFU may not be enough and surgery gives a more predictable result.
