Handpiece

The handpiece is the part of a HIFU device that’s held against the skin during treatment, housing the cartridge and making direct contact through which the ultrasound energy is delivered. Design matters here more than it might seem: an ergonomic, well-balanced handpiece makes it easier to maintain firm, even contact against the skin (important for consistent energy transfer) and to manoeuvre around smaller or curved areas like the eyes, nose, and jawline without strain. ULTRAISER’s home devices are built as a single, lightweight, cordless handpiece — the P1 and P1 Pro both weigh around 260g and are roughly the size and shape of an electric razor — designed so a first-time user can hold and guide the device confidently without clinical training. The clinic-only eHM15 uses a separate, lighter handpiece (around 130g) connected to a controller unit, reflecting its use by trained operators across longer sessions.

Popular HIFU Terms

Non-InvasiveSkin Tightening
Non-Invasive Skin Tightenings are aesthetic procedures like HIFU or radiofrequency that improve firmness without surgical cuts or injections.

SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System)
A fibromuscular layer beneath the skin that provides facial structure and support. HIFU uniquely targets the SMAS the same layer lifted during surgical facelifts achieving visible lifting effects non-surgically.

Collagen Stimulation
A biological response induced by controlled energy-based treatments. When heat or micro-injury occurs in the dermis, fibroblasts are activated to produce new collagen and elastin fibers. The gradual increase in collagen restores skin structure and resilience over several weeks, reversing signs of aging naturally.

Focal Depth
The depth below the skin’s surface where ultrasound waves converge, typically between 1.5 and 13 mm. Shallow focal points treat wrinkles and fine lines; deeper ones target connective tissue or fat layers for contouring and lifting effects.

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
HIFU is a non-invasive treatment that delivers highly focused ultrasound energy to precise tissue depths beneath the skin. The focused energy heats targeted zones to around 60–70°C, stimulating a controlled wound-healing response that triggers new collagen and elastin production. It’s used medically for tumor ablation and cosmetically for facial lifting, contouring, and skin tightening.
