Get a Lift with a HIFU Facial

HIFU Facial: What It Is, How It Works, and Why It’s a Game-Changer for Jowls

If you’ve been side-eyeing your jawline in selfies lately, you’re not alone.

Jowls are one of the first places aging—and sometimes weight loss—starts to show up. The good news? You don’t need a scalpel to lift and tighten. You just need to get familiar with one of our favorite noninvasive treatments: the HIFU facial.

Let’s break down what a HIFU facial is, how it works, and why it’s one of the best tools for redefining your lower face (and confidence) naturally.

What is a HIFU facial?

HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, but don’t let the techy name scare you.

Think of it as a skin-tightening treatment that gives facelift-like results—without surgery, needles, or downtime.

At Lifted Aesthetics, we use Ultherapy®—a brand of HIFU facial Davidson and Charlotte clients trust—to deliver focused ultrasound energy beneath the skin’s surface. This triggers your body to produce more collagen in the deep layers where sagging starts.

Translation? Firmer, lifted skin that looks like you’ve been sneaking in naps, facials, and green juice on the daily.

What is possible with a HIFU skin tightening treatment?

Let’s talk results—because we know that’s what really matters.

A HIFU skin tightening treatment can help:

  • Lift sagging cheeks or jowls
  • Tighten loose neck skin
  • Define the jawline
  • Smooth fine lines on the décolletage
  • Improve skin elasticity over time

It’s especially effective for early signs of aging or mild-to-moderate skin laxity. No frozen face. No puffed cheeks. Just natural, undetectable results that gradually appear over 2–3 months.

And unlike some fads, Ultherapy® is FDA-cleared, clinically backed, and built for real results.

What are jowls—and what causes them?

Let’s get nerdy for a second. Jowls are the sagging skin or fullness that forms along the jawline as we age. You might notice:

  • Loss of definition in the jaw
  • A soft, “melting” effect near your lower cheeks
  • Skin that seems to droop or pull downward

What causes jowls?

Here’s the (not-so-fun) truth:

  • Collagen and elastin break down with age
  • Fat pads shift and lose volume
  • Gravity does what gravity does
  • Rapid weight loss, such as from medical weight loss treatments, can speed up facial sagging

That’s why we often see clients who’ve lost weight suddenly notice loose skin—and why pairing a HIFU facial with a thoughtful treatment plan makes all the difference.

Why we love Ultherapy® at Lifted Aesthetics

Not all HIFU treatments are created equal. At Lifted Aesthetics, we use Ultherapy® because it’s the gold standard. Here’s why:

  • It targets the same deep tissues a plastic surgeon would lift—without surgery
  • It’s totally customizable (face, neck, or chest)
  • It delivers long-lasting results (most see benefits for up to 18 months, so we recommend maintenance treatments as often as needed)
  • There’s minimal downtime (most clients return to daily activities the same day)
  • It displays real-time imaging that allows us to see your unique needs for safer and more effective results. Not all HIFU facial treatments offer this, which is why we choose Ultherapy® for our HIFU facials

That said—let’s keep it real. While Ultherapy® is noninvasive and well-tolerated, it’s totally normal to experience:

  • Mild redness or swelling
  • Temporary tingling or tenderness
  • Occasional numbness in the treated areas

These side effects are typically short-lived and resolve on their own within a few hours to a few days. During your consultation, we’ll go over exactly what to expect and make sure you’re a great candidate.

Because at Lifted Aesthetics, it’s not just about results—it’s about doing things the right way so you feel confident every step of the journey.

Bottom line: HIFU facials are the real deal for lifting jowls

If you’re dealing with early jowls, sagging skin, or the post-Semaglutide slim-down aftermath, a HIFU facial might be your secret weapon. No surgery, just real results that unfold over time.

Whether you’re looking for a HIFU facial in Charlotte or Davidson, we’re here to help you get lifted—naturally.
