DUALHI+ HIFU Skin Tightening in Charlotte, NC
A Non-Surgical Way to Lift, Tighten & Redefine
Focused ultrasound energy reaches the deep structural layer beneath your skin, the same layer a facelift addresses surgically, and triggers your body's own collagen response.
A Better Lifting Treatment
Non-Surgical Lift
Focused ultrasound waves trigger new collagen growth to lift and tighten skin without injections.
Frequently performed as a lunch-break treatment in Europe and Asia, HIFU allows you to return to daily activities immediately.
No Recovery Time
Results can last several years while the collagen boost continues to improve firmness and elasticity over 2 to 3 months.
Long Lasting Confidence
“The results have been incredible. My skin looks lifted, tighter, and so much more refreshed. For me, it’s been an amazing alternative to Botox — natural-looking results without injections.”

Why Skincare Alone Doesn't Fix This
Good skincare builds healthier skin at the surface. It was never designed to reach the SMAS layer, the structural support beneath your jawline, jowls, and neck that loosens with age. That's the layer that decides whether your jawline still looks defined.
I've done the facials. I've bought the serums. Why hasn't any of it touched my jawline?
Because the concern lives underneath the surface, in a layer topical skincare can't reach.
How DualHi+ HIFU Actually Works
DualHi+ uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound to deliver energy at precise depths beneath the skin's surface, without touching the surface itself. That energy creates targeted points of thermal activity, which signal your body to build new collagen. Over the following weeks, skin in the treated area gradually firms, tightens, and lifts.
A few things make DualHi+ specifically different from other HIFU systems:
Dual transducer technology delivers treatment more comfortably and more efficiently than single-transducer machines.
24-karat gold treatment tips allow for more consistent, focused energy delivery.
Multiple treatment depths reach as deep as 4.5 mm to target the deeper structural support layer, with additional options for unwanted fullness under the chin and jawline.
Lori maps the exact depth and placement of every point of energy to your anatomy, skin thickness, and goals. It isn't the same setting run on every client.
What Your Appointment Looks Like
Most clients describe the sensation as mild — closer to warm pressure than pain. Sessions typically run under an hour, with no recovery time after. You can go straight back to work or whatever's next on your day.
You won't see dramatic results the moment you leave. Collagen production builds gradually, with visible firmness and lift developing over roughly three to four months and beyond. Results can last a couple years, which is part of why clients treat this as an investment rather than a routine they're locked into every few weeks.
Treatment Areas
Lower Face and Jowls Addresses visible sagging along the lower face for a more lifted, defined look.
Jawline and Beneath the Chin Creates sharper jawline definition and a more refined profile.
Neck One of the hardest areas to treat non-invasively. DualHi+ targets the structural support beneath the neck specifically.
Eyes and Forehead Can address the forehead, brow, and upper or lower eyelids for a more open, rested look.
Additional treatments are available for the décolleté, hands, and select body areas.
The Skin Pro Lori 4-Phase Collagen Lift Method
Why one treatment isn't the full plan
A single HIFU session builds real results. But your skin's collagen response follows a growth curve, and one treatment only captures the first part of it. That's why I build HIFU as a sequence here, not a single appointment, spaced specifically so each treatment builds on the collagen response the one before it started, instead of starting over from zero every visit.
Phase 1: Structural Lift Your first treatment, targeted to the depth and placement your facial structure calls for.
Phase 2: Collagen Support Scheduled roughly 6 to 8 weeks after Phase 1. This is where the plan gets personalized: for some clients, Phase 2 is another round of HIFU. For others, it's ProCell Microchanneling instead, based on skin type and thickness. That decision comes down to which treatment your skin needs at that stage to keep building, not personal preference.
Phase 3: Reinforcement Scheduled roughly another 6 to 8 weeks after Phase 2, sometimes longer. This is the final treatment in the series, and it locks in what Phases 1 and 2 built.
Phase 4: Maintenance Your return visit, ideally within 12 months of Phase 3. Collagen naturally continues to break down over time once a series ends, and Phase 4 protects what you built instead of letting it fade and starting over. Clients who complete the full series receive a Preferred Client Rate when they come back for it.
Why the sequence matters These four phases work as one timed plan, not four separate purchases to consider individually. Spacing sessions further apart, skipping a phase, or treating each visit as its own decision usually means slower results, or results that don't hold as long. Following the sequence is what makes the difference between a treatment and an actual plan.
Advanced Skin Care: an optional add-on HIFU and ProCell Microchanneling address what's happening structurally, beneath the surface. Advanced facial treatments using the Corium Corrective 360 skincare line focus on supporting skin health while addressing texture, tone, hydration, and overall skin quality.
Some clients add these alongside Phase 2, or any time in between. It's not part of the core sequence, but it can round out the result for clients who want all layers addressed.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy for face lifting, wrinkle reductions, double chins and body sculpting. It uses focused ultrasound energy to target different layers of the skin just below the surface. During the treatment, high-frequency ultrasound beams are emitted to the target tissue sites, causing the tissue to heat up rapidly and experience cellular damage. This damage initiates the cells’ healing process, stimulates the production of new collagen and results in tighter, firmer skin. While this may seem counterintuitive, the beams are focused only on the targeted tissue sites below the skin’s surface. Therefore, no damage is caused to the upper layers of the skin and no downtime is required. Since HIFU energy can reach as far as the fat layer of the body, it is also a highly effective treatment to remove unwanted fat and tighten body skin. In short, it is the perfect solution to premature aging.
-
What sets DualHi+ apart is its dual transducer technology—a unique feature that allows the device to deliver treatment more efficiently than traditional single-transducer HIFU systems. This helps make the treatment faster, more precise, and more comfortable.
DualHi+ also features 24-karat gold treatment tips for superior energy conductivity, helping deliver focused ultrasound energy more consistently and efficiently.
Another major advantage is that DualHi+ can treat the eyelids, an area many HIFU devices are not designed to treat.
At Skin Pro Lori, every DualHi+ HIFU treatment is customized to your skin, anatomy, and goals using a science-guided approach to support natural-looking, long-term collagen stimulation. We’re proud to be one of only two providers in the United States offering the innovative DualHi+ HIFU technology, bringing our clients one of the most advanced HIFU systems available.
-
The DualHi+ HIFU treatment uses focused ultrasound energy to create Targeted Energy Points at precise depths beneath the skin’s surface. These tiny points of thermal energy stimulate your body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin while leaving the skin’s surface untouched.
HIFU treatments can deliver energy at different depths depending on the treatment area and goals:
1.5 mm – Targets the upper dermis and delicate areas, including around the eyes and eyelids.
3.0 mm – Targets the deeper dermis to stimulate collagen and improve skin firmness.
4.5 mm – Reaches the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System), the foundational support layer beneath the skin, to help lift and tighten.
By selecting the appropriate treatment depths, we can customize your treatment based on your facial anatomy, skin thickness, and areas of concern.
Because your body needs time to produce new collagen, improvements develop gradually over the weeks and months following treatment, creating natural-looking results that continue to improve over time.
At Skin Pro Lori, every DualHi+ HIFU treatment is carefully customized using a science-guided approach. We strategically place Targeted Energy Points where they will provide the greatest support for your individual treatment goals and long-term skin health.

-
Results from the DualHi+ HIFU treatment develop gradually as your body naturally produces new collagen.
Some clients notice subtle tightening shortly after treatment, but the most noticeable improvements typically begin to appear within 2 to 3 months. As collagen production continues, skin may become progressively firmer, tighter, and more defined, with continued improvement over the following months.
Because everyone’s collagen production is different, results vary based on factors such as age, skin condition, lifestyle, and your body’s natural healing response.
At Skin Pro Lori, we’ll discuss what you can realistically expect based on your skin and goals, helping you understand your treatment timeline from the very beginning.
-
Most clients find DualHI+ HIFU to be well tolerated. During treatment, you may experience brief warmth, tingling, or mild discomfort as the targeted energy points are delivered beneath the skin. These sensations are temporary and vary depending on the treatment area and each person’s sensitivity.
Throughout your treatment, we’ll check in with you and adjust the energy settings as needed to help maximize your comfort while still delivering effective collagen stimulation. We’ll also guide you through the process so you know what to expect every step of the way.
-
The Skin Pro Lori 4-Phase Collagen Lift Method is our science-guided approach to building collagen over time—not just during a single treatment.
While many clients notice improvement after just one treatment, a series of three treatments is our recommended approach for the best collagen-building potential. Each phase is designed to build upon the last, supporting your skin as new collagen develops over time.
Our goal is to create healthy, natural-looking results by working with your skin’s natural collagen-building process—not against it.
