HIFU in Pasig: What It Lifts, What It Does Not, and What to Ask
The 30th is the newest ICONIQUE branch and the only one on this side of the city, which means most people who book HIFU here have driven past three clinics advertising the same thing to reach us.
HIFU tightens by heating the layer of tissue a surgeon pulls on, so the skin firms from underneath over the following weeks. It is a gradual result, not a switch, and it works on skin that has lost tone rather than on skin that has lost its structure.
If yours has genuinely descended, the honest answer is a surgeon, and we will say so at the consultation instead of after the session.
What a session is like
The consultation looks at what has actually changed in your face and whether tone or structure is the problem. Those two answers point at different treatments.
The session itself is worked in passes and feels like heat with occasional deeper pulses over bone. You leave with slight redness at most and go back to your day.
The change builds over weeks. Photographs at eight and twelve weeks show it better than a mirror does, because a mirror updates its own baseline daily.
When this is the wrong treatment
Skin that has descended
Loose skin with lost structure needs surgery. Ultrasound firms what is there and cannot lift what has dropped.
An event this week
The result arrives over two to three months. For Saturday, this is the wrong booking and we will tell you so.
A very lean face
On thin faces aggressive tightening can read as gaunt rather than lifted. We treat conservatively or not at all.
What it costs in Pasig, 2026
Introductory rates run through most of the year, so ask what today's is rather than working from a number on a page.
Around Metro Manila HIFU is advertised from about ₱1,500 a session. What separates them is the device, the depth being treated and who is holding the handpiece.
The answer tells you whether the clinic knows what it is treating. Different depths do different jobs, and a session that only works at one is a session doing part of the work.
Am I a candidate, or should I see a surgeon?
HIFU firms tone. It does not lift skin that has descended. A clinic that never says no to this question has never said it to anyone.
When will I see it?
Some tightening in the first week, the real change over two to three months as collagen builds. Anyone promising the finished result on the day is describing swelling.
What happens after?
One session is not a subscription. Ask what the maintenance interval is and why, before you pay for the first.
These are the list prices. We run promotions through most of the year, so call or message for today's rate and for course pricing. The consultation is free either way.
How far it is from where you are
Distances measured from the door, not estimated.
Ortigas Center
Ten minutes across Meralco Avenue, less outside rush hour. Most of our weekday bookings here come from the towers on Julia Vargas and Emerald.
Barangay Ugong and Kapitolyo
Five to ten minutes. Close enough that a course of several visits stays realistic rather than aspirational.
Mandaluyong and Greenfield District
Ten to fifteen minutes over Shaw or through Pioneer.
Eastwood, Libis and Cainta
Fifteen to twenty-five minutes on C5. This is the nearest ICONIQUE for that side of the city, and the reason a Pasig branch exists at all.
Where to find us in Pasig
GF, Ayala Malls The 30th, 30 Meralco Ave, Barangay Ugong, Pasig City, 1604 Metro Manila.
Find ICONIQUE on the ground floor of Ayala Malls The 30th.
Open daily, 10:00 AM - 9:00 PM.
Call or message +63 917 634 7449. The consultation is free, and it is where we say whether this is the right treatment for your skin or whether it is not.
Introductory rates run through most of the year, so ask for today's. Around Metro Manila HIFU is advertised from about ₱1,500 a session, and the spread is mostly device and operator.
Is HIFU the same as Ultherapy?
No. Ultherapy is one brand of focused ultrasound and the one that carries the US lifting clearance. Ours is a different system and it costs less, which is a real difference and not a marketing one.
Does it hurt?
Most people rate it two or three out of ten, occasionally four over the jawbone where there is bone under thin tissue.
How long does it last?
Around a year for most people, less if your skin was already losing tone quickly. It slows the clock rather than resetting it.
Where exactly is the clinic?
Ground floor, Ayala Malls The 30th, 30 Meralco Avenue, Barangay Ugong, Pasig City. Open every day from ten in the morning until nine at night.
