High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) with mesopuncture
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) combined with mesopuncture — Liftera — is a non-surgical medical technique designed to improve facial firmness and redefine contours without surgery. This approach acts on the deeper planes involved in skin laxity using focused ultrasound energy, while superficial mesopuncture helps optimise skin quality. Also known as facial HIFU with mesopuncture or ultrasound-based facial tightening, it is particularly indicated in cases of mild to moderate skin laxity, when progressive and natural-looking improvement is sought. Treatment planning should always follow an individual medical assessment to determine the indication, treatment depth and realistic goals.

What sets us apart
Facial tightening treatment with an integrated, personalised approach
At Grupo Pedro Jaén, we approach Liftera treatment from a structural medical perspective. It is not simply a matter of applying energy, but of acting precisely on the planes responsible for facial descent, respecting the anatomy and adapting intensity, depth and distribution to each face. Combination with mesopuncture makes it possible to complement the deep tightening effect with an additional improvement in skin quality. This integrated approach supports harmonious results that remain coherent with the patient’s facial structure.

Precision and control of the deep plane
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) combined with mesopuncture makes it possible to act on the deep planes involved in facial laxity. The thermal energy generated stimulates the production of structural collagen and promotes a progressive tightening effect, acting on the layers responsible for skin support without the need for surgery.
Targeted action
Energy is applied in a focused and programmed way, adapting depth and intensity to each area of the face. This control avoids indiscriminate treatment and allows action only where there is genuine loss of firmness or descent.
Structural stimulation
Activation of deep collagen contributes to tissue compaction and improved facial support. The result is progressive firmness, while maintaining facial expression and without altering natural features.
For mild to moderate skin laxity
Liftera is particularly indicated in patients with early descent of the facial oval, loss of jawline definition or mild laxity in the face and neck without a surgical indication. It is positioned as a medical option when the aim is to improve firmness without resorting to invasive procedures.
Appropriate therapeutic timing
It is especially useful when superficial treatments are insufficient, but laxity does not yet require surgery. It allows intervention at an intermediate stage of skin ageing, with both a preventive and corrective approach.
Non-surgical medical alternative
It improves firmness and redefines contours without incisions, scars or downtime. Patients can return to normal daily life immediately, with straightforward recovery and mild, temporary side effects.
Complementary improvement in skin quality
Mesopuncture combined with HIFU helps optimise skin quality through microdeposits of active ingredients selected according to each patient’s needs. This combination broadens the scope of the treatment, acting both on deep firmness and on visible parameters of the skin surface.
Two-level treatment
The deep plane is treated with focused ultrasound to stimulate structural collagen, while the superficial plane is addressed with mesopuncture adapted to the quality and characteristics of the skin.
Global optimisation of results
Combining both techniques makes it possible to improve firmness, texture and radiance within a single medical procedure, supporting a more harmonious result that remains coherent with facial anatomy.
What it is, how it is performed and results
A guide to understanding high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) with mesopuncture
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive medical technique that uses controlled thermal energy to stimulate natural collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. Complementary mesopuncture consists of superficial microinjections adapted to each skin type, aimed at improving visible parameters such as texture, radiance and elasticity.
This is an outpatient procedure that should be indicated after an individual medical assessment.
Indications
Liftera is mainly indicated in people with:
- Progressive loss of firmness.
- Loss of definition of the facial oval.
- Mild laxity in the neck or submental area.
- A need to improve skin quality without modifying volume.
- A desire to prolong the results of other medical-aesthetic treatments.
It does not replace a surgical facelift, but may be an option when surgery is not indicated.
How the treatment is performed
The session begins with skin cleansing and planning of the areas to be treated. The HIFU device delivers programmed pulses that reach the established depth without damaging the skin surface.
The mesopuncture phase is then performed, using superficial microdeposits adapted to the patient’s needs.
The session usually lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
How many sessions are needed?
A slight immediate tightening sensation may be noticed, although the real changes develop progressively over the following weeks.
The maximum result is usually observed between the second and third month, coinciding with collagen reorganisation.
Recovery and safety
No medical leave is required. Mild redness or temporary sensitivity may appear and usually resolves within hours or a few days.
As with any medical procedure, a prior assessment is essential to confirm the indication and rule out contraindications.
