HIFU 9D: multi-depth focused ultrasound
HIFU 9D delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound at several treatment depths — from the superficial dermis to the SMAS — to address skin quality AND deep support in the same session. Its multiple cartridges allow the depth to be precisely matched to each area of the face: cheeks, jawline, forehead, neck, upper chest.
The aesthetic assessment comes first
Every protocol is decided after a free aesthetic assessment: we examine the area, take into account your skin, your aesthetic history and your goal, then give you a quote before any session.
You leave with a clear answer: what is suitable for you, in how many sessions, and at what price. Nothing starts without your agreement.
A typical session, and its place in our protocols
After the free assessment and precise mapping of the areas, the session lasts 45 to 90 minutes depending on the size of the area treated. Temporary redness is possible, with no social downtime. HIFU 9D is one of the pillars of our INPI-registered HIFU Genius protocol, alongside V-Max for the eye area and Frozen for comfort. Prices are paid per session — and discover all our HIFU treatments too.
Who it's for, and when to avoid it
The treatment is suitable for both women and men. It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, on damaged or recently sun-exposed skin, or in the situations we review together during the assessment.
This is an aesthetic comfort treatment: it does not constitute a medical procedure, a diagnosis or a therapeutic treatment.
Expected results
Denser, firmer skin from week 4.
This is a guide based on averages observed at the institute: results vary depending on skin, age, hormonal profile and how closely the protocol is followed.

Frequently asked questions
Does HIFU hurt?
It depends on the area treated, on each person's sensitivity and on skin thickness. Not everyone reacts in the same way, but on average the discomfort is rated between 3/10 and 5/10.
Is HIFU recommended for everyone?
No, absolutely not! We offer different HIFU sessions in Nice, with various protocols, settings and devices, so as to match as closely as possible what suits you, and you alone! That is precisely why a prior consultation is compulsory before any HIFU session — and it is free.
What sets HIFU 9D apart from other HIFU devices?
The 9D works at more firing depths and covers large areas more quickly: the face, neck, upper chest or body are all treated with the same approach, using cartridges suited to each skin thickness. It is the all-rounder of our HIFU protocols — the assessment determines whether it is the best option for you, on its own or combined with our other devices.
How long do HIFU 9D results last?
The stimulated collagen builds up over 2 to 3 months and the tightening effect lasts 12 to 18 months on average, depending on age, skin and lifestyle. A yearly maintenance session is then enough to boost production again.
How does a HIFU 9D session in Nice work?
After the free assessment and a check for contraindications, the skin is cleansed, then the handpiece delivers the firing lines area by area. Allow 30 to 90 minutes depending on the size of the area. You leave with no social downtime — slight redness may persist for a few hours.
