Discover why Spa Infinima is a leading HIFU provider in Quebec City, with recognized medical-aesthetic expertise and treatments tailored to your skin.
Our team of certified medical-aesthetic specialists performs HIFU in an upscale spa setting, in Sainte-Foy. The treatment fits within a range that spans from laser hair removal to skin tightening, each tailored to your skin type after a preliminary analysis.
HIFU lifts and tightens the skin with no incision, no needle and no recovery time. Where a surgical facelift requires convalescence, focused ultrasound works deep beneath the skin's surface, which lets you resume your activities immediately after the session.
Focused ultrasound stimulates the natural production of collagen, a process that continues over several months. Results appear gradually, look natural and can last 18 to 24 months depending on your skin and your lifestyle.
HIFU for the face targets skin laxity in the lower face, the neck and the contour, where the skin loses firmness with age. By heating the deep layers of the dermis, focused ultrasound restarts the synthesis of collagen and elastin for a visible lifting effect.
The benefits of HIFU for the face show up as:
With age, the facial contour droops and jowls appear along the jaw. Focused ultrasound targets the SMAS, the support layer treated during a surgical facelift, to retighten the tissues deep down. The result: a redrawn contour, firmer outlines and visibly reduced skin laxity, without surgery.
The double chin and neck sagging are among the most requested areas in HIFU. The heat of the ultrasound tightens the tissues and can target the fat cells responsible for the double chin. The neck looks smoother, the jawline redefines itself and the skin regains firmness, session after session.
Beyond firming, HIFU smooths set wrinkles and fine lines and improves the overall quality of the skin. Collagen stimulation also firms the décolleté, a delicate area often marked by skin aging. The texture refines and the skin gains elasticity, for a younger-looking complexion.
HIFU is not limited to the face. Focused ultrasound also firms loose skin on several areas of the body, by stimulating collagen deep down without touching the surface of the skin.
The stomach, arms and thighs are among the most treated areas of the body. HIFU for the body targets skin laxity and certain localized fat deposits: the heat acts on the adipocytes while firming the skin. Results stay gradual and natural, with no downtime or convalescence.
HIFU can also improve the appearance of stretch marks by restarting collagen production in the affected skin. The area gains firmness and the texture evens out over the sessions, complementing the overall firming you are after.
HIFU delivers focused ultrasound to precise depths beneath the skin, without breaking the surface. This non-invasive technology gently reproduces the action of a lift, by targeting the support layers rather than the epidermis.
Emitted by a handpiece, focused ultrasound creates micro-points of coagulation at the level of the SMAS and the deep dermis, bringing the collagen to a temperature of 60 to 70 degrees. This targeted heat causes an immediate contraction of the tissues, followed by collagen regeneration over several months. It is the fibroblasts, activated by the treatment, that produce this new collagen responsible for the gradual firming.
HIFU acts where the skin truly slackens: in the deep layers, without ever damaging the surface.Every HIFU journey at Infinima begins with a consultation and a skin analysis, followed by a precise and comfortable session.
Your medical-aesthetic specialist first assesses your skin type, the degree of skin laxity and your goals, then checks for any contraindications. This preliminary analysis determines the areas to treat and the depth of the focused ultrasound, for a protocol adjusted to your face or your body.
The session unfolds in a few simple steps:
The results then develop over two to three months, as the collagen regenerates, and generally last 18 to 24 months. An annual maintenance session and a personalized facial extend the benefits of the firming.
HIFU suits a wide range of profiles, provided a preliminary consultation confirms it is right for your skin.
HIFU is particularly suited to people who have:
Women and men alike find a suitable solution here, at any age. The treatment complements other treatments at our clinic well, such as laser hair removal or facials.
Certain situations postpone or rule out HIFU: pregnancy, wearing a cardiac pacemaker, metal implants in the area to be treated, or an active skin infection. Your specialist validates each case during the consultation and, where appropriate, directs you toward a more suitable treatment.
A face that is sagging, a double chin settling in, body skin that calls for more firmness: HIFU addresses these concerns under one roof, in Sainte-Foy. Our medical-aesthetic specialists define with you the protocol suited to your skin.
