What HIFU is
HIFU stands for high-intensity focused ultrasound. The device concentrates energy into very small points at set depths beneath the skin, without harming the surface. That localised heat prompts the skin to produce new collagen over the following weeks.
It is a gradual process: collagen builds up over several weeks, not overnight. What you can reasonably expect in your case is something we talk through at the consultation, before you book.
Face, double chin and neck
The most requested areas are the jawline, the double chin, the cheeks and the neck. We work area by area: you can treat just the double chin, just the jawline or the whole face.
At the consultation, we look at your skin, listen to what bothers you and tell you honestly whether HIFU is the right treatment, which areas make sense and what it costs. If it is not right for you, we will tell you that too.
Who it is for
- Mild to moderate sagging on the face or neck
- A double chin or a softer jawline
- Anyone who wants a discreet result, without needles or surgery
When it is not suitable
- Pregnancy
- A pacemaker or metal implants in the area to be treated
- Wounds, infections or active skin conditions in the area
- Recent fillers in the area (check at the consultation)
This list is a summary. If you have a health condition or any doubt, talk to us before booking.

Frequently asked questions
Does HIFU hurt?
You feel warmth and small pricks as the device passes, more so over bony areas such as the jawline. Most people tolerate it well, and the intensity is adjusted to you during the session.
Does HIFU work?
HIFU works by stimulating collagen, so the effect is gradual and depends on your skin, your age and how much laxity there is. It suits mild to moderate sagging. At the consultation we tell you honestly what to expect in your case.
How many HIFU sessions do I need?
It depends on the area and on your skin. The number of sessions is set at the consultation, before you book.
When will I see HIFU results?
Collagen production is a gradual process that takes place over several weeks and varies from person to person. At the consultation we explain what you can reasonably expect in your case.
How much does a HIFU session cost in Cascais?
The price depends on the areas treated. At Hippie Chic it is set at the free consultation, before you book any session, so you know exactly what you will pay.
What is the difference between HIFU and a facelift?
A facelift is surgery. HIFU does not cut and uses no needles: it works with ultrasound from the surface of the skin, with no downtime, and the result is subtler and more gradual.
