Potenza vs Thermage vs HIFU

Three different lifting technologies, three different depths — which one fits your skin concern.

The Three Lifting Layers

Skin lifting works across three anatomical layers, each requiring a different technology.

HIFU — Deep SMAS Lifting

Ultherapy and other HIFU devices target the SMAS layer at 4.5mm depth — the structural layer that surgeons address in a facelift. HIFU is best for structural sagging and facial contour definition.

Thermage FLX — Dermal Tightening

Monopolar RF uniformly heats the dermis — contracting collagen and improving skin firmness. Best for crepey or loose skin texture rather than structural lifting.

Potenza — Dermal Precision

RF microneedling delivers energy directly into the dermis at precise depths — combining resurfacing and collagen stimulation. Best for pores, fine lines, and skin quality alongside mild tightening.

Which One Is Right for You?

The honest answer: often all three, at different depths, at different times. VANDS offers a consultation to map your ageing pattern and recommend the optimal combination.

Can all three be done in the same session?+

HIFU and RF can be combined in one session. Potenza is often scheduled separately from HIFU on the same day. Your consultant will advise.
