What does the HIFU SonoQueen treatment consist of?

The HIFU SonoQueen treatment allows precise delivery of energy to the deep layers of the skin, without damaging the epidermis. The result? Natural collagen stimulation and lifting without a scalpel.
The treatment uses a head that emits ultrasound waves that focus on a specific depth of tissue, causing controlled micro-damage. The body responds by regenerating, producing new collagen and shrinking tissues, resulting in firmer skin, improved facial oval and a chin lift.

For what purpose is the HIFU treatment used?

The HIFU SonoQueen treatment is performed for:

  • Lifting and firming of the skin
  • Improve facial oval
  • Reduction of limpness
  • Cheek lifts, brow arches, chin lifts
  • Modeling of selected body parts - including abdomen, arms, thighs, knees

This is an excellent solution for those who want to regain skin firmness without a scalpel or recovery period.

HIFU SonoQueen - what does it help?

With blepharoplasty, the eye area can be effectively rejuvenated, restoring a younger appearance and natural freshness to the face. This procedure is a proven method used in aesthetic medicine, allowing a gentle lifting of the eyelids that improves the aesthetics and functionality of the eye. It is worth checking and consulting with your doctor to see if this is the right method for you.

Falling facial oval and skin flabbiness

HIFU effectively lifts the face and neck, improving their tone by stimulating the deep layers of the skin.

Double chin and loss of contour

HIFU technology also works in the fatty tissue, reducing the chin and giving the face a more defined contour.

Wrinkles and signs of aging

The treatment stimulates collagen and elastin fibers, which helps smooth wrinkles and delay the aging process.

Local body flaccidity

HIFU can be used on a variety of areas - including arms, abdomen, knees - to improve skin firmness.

Indications for treatment

  • Sagging skin of the face, neck and décolleté
  • Loss of facial oval
  • Second chin
  • Wrinkles and fine lines
  • Local fat reduction
  • Body skin flaccidity (e.g., post-pregnancy abdomen, inner side of thighs)

Contraindications and side effects

  • Blood clotting disorders
  • Active cancer
  • Pacemaker or metal implants in the treatment area
  • Skin diseases, infections and inflammations
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Possible side effects after the procedure include:

  • Gentle redness
  • Swelling or tenderness at the surgical site
  • Short-term numbness or feeling of tension

These symptoms usually subside within a few days.

How does the HIFU treatment proceed?

  • Consultation and qualification - a specialist assesses the condition of the skin and selects the appropriate parameters.
  • Cleansing the skin and applying ultrasonic gel.
  • The actual treatment - the SonoQueen head emits concentrated ultrasound waves that reach the deep layers of skin and subcutaneous tissue at different levels (1.5 mm, 3 mm, 4.5 mm).
  • Collagen stimulation - thanks to spot coagulation, the body begins the natural process of tissue regeneration and remodeling.
  • After the procedure, the patient can return to daily activities, as there is no need for convalescence.

The entire procedure takes from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the area. The first effects are visible after about 2-4 weeks, and the full lifting effect after 2-3 months. The procedure can be repeated every 12-18 months.
