1 What do CFU V-MAX before and after photos show?

In the photo set Foxy M.D shared on its fanpage, the visible changes after a CFU lift are a neater jawline, a reduced double chin, slightly lifted cheeks and softer smile lines. The degree of improvement varies with the amount of sagging and from person to person.

The four photos below were shared by Foxy M.D on its fanpage in October 2026, taken before and after a CFU V-MAX facial lift treatment. When looking at before and after photos, pay attention to three things: whether the camera angles on both sides match, whether the lighting is even, and when the "after" photo was taken. Photos taken right after a session mainly reflect immediate tightening, while photos taken a few weeks later reflect the newly formed collagen.

The photos only illustrate the general direction of change; they are not a promise of the same result for everyone. People with thick skin, more facial fat or pronounced sagging usually need more sessions or a combination with other methods.

2 What is CFU lifting technology, and how does it differ from Oligio X and thread lifts?

CFU lifting technology is an upgraded generation of HIFU. It uses focused ultrasound to deliver heat into the tissue layers beneath the skin, with energy distributed more evenly and precisely, stimulating collagen and elastin to support the skin from within.

At Foxy M.D, the focused ultrasound device in use is the CFU V-MAX. The energy is focused into tiny heat points at a preset depth, making the tissue fibers contract immediately and starting a repair process that lasts for several weeks. The skin surface is barely affected, so no downtime is needed. The detailed mechanism, tissue layers and treatment areas are covered in our main article on HIFU and CFU V-MAX lifting in Da Nang; this article focuses on results over time and cost.

Many people are torn between a CFU facial lift, Oligio X and a facial thread lift. The three methods address different aspects of aging, so the table below helps you get a picture before your consultation:

3 How soon do you see CFU lift results?

The skin usually feels slightly tighter right after a CFU lift session, but the most visible results appear after about 2–3 months, once enough new collagen has formed. According to the Foxy M.D menu, the treatment is repeated every 3–6 months depending on the degree of aging.

Because most of the effect comes from new collagen, a CFU lift requires patience. Many people see a slimmer face on the day of treatment and then feel it has "deflated" a few days later, because the immediate tightening and mild swelling subside while regeneration continues underneath. The typical progression:

Aftercare: use thorough sun protection and avoid saunas, very hot showers and alcohol for the first 2–3 days; do not massage the jaw area hard yourself; drink enough water. Tell your doctor right away if you notice lasting numbness, lumps, blisters or pain that gets worse instead of better.

Ngay sau

Slight tightening, possible redness and warmth

Tissue contracts from the heat, so the jawline may look neater. The skin is slightly red and warm for a few hours; you can go about your day as normal.

3–7 days

Possible mild soreness along the jaw

Some people feel sore when pressing or chewing near the jawbone; this usually goes away on its own after a few days.

4–8 weeks

Collagen starts to increase

Skin becomes more elastic, the surface smoother, and facial contours gradually more defined.

2–3 months

Most visible stage

The jawline, double chin and smile lines usually show the most visible improvement; this is a good time to take comparison photos.

3–6 months

Repeat as recommended

The doctor reassesses you to decide when to do the next session, depending on how quickly each person ages.

4 How much does a CFU lift cost at Foxy M.D Da Nang?

According to the price list effective from March 10, 2026, a CFU lift at Foxy M.D is priced from $158 for the double chin, from $237 for the full face and from $356 for the face plus double chin. There is no shot limit, and each session takes about 45–60 minutes.

Prices are per area, not per shot. The actual number of shots depends on the degree of aging and the size of the face; the doctor decides after the examination so that each area gets enough energy. So when comparing CFU lift prices between clinics, ask three things: how many shots the price includes, who performs the treatment, and which device is used.

The prices above are listed prices for one session. The cost of a full treatment course depends on the number of sessions your doctor recommends and whether other methods are combined. See the full list of service prices on the Foxy M.D price list.

Treatment areaListed priceDurationSuitable when
Double chinFrom $15845–60 minutesMainly a double chin and a poorly defined lower jawline
Full faceFrom $23745–60 minutesSagging cheeks, smile lines, facial skin lacking firmness
Face + double chinFrom $35645–60 minutesBoth sagging cheeks and a double chin

5 Should you combine a CFU lift with Rejuran?

It is worth considering when you have both sagging and thin, dry, less elastic skin. CFU V-MAX works on the supporting framework, while Rejuran (PN, injected with the meso technique) improves skin quality.

The two methods complement rather than replace each other. People with only mild sagging but otherwise healthy skin usually need only CFU; people with thin skin, enlarged pores and many fine wrinkles may be advised by the doctor to add Rejuran so the skin surface improves alongside the facial contours. The order of and interval between the two treatment courses are decided by the doctor based on your skin condition.

Learn more about its ingredients and treatment course in our article on Rejuran Healer injections for skin recovery.

Rejuran at Foxy M.D

From $249 per session on the menu, injected with the meso technique, usually 2–3 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart.

CFU V-MAX

Works on the supporting framework: jawline, double chin, sagging cheeks; repeated every 3–6 months.

When to combine

Both sagging and thin, weak, dry or less elastic skin, or enlarged pores.

When it is not needed yet

Skin is still healthy with only mild sagging; you can do CFU first and reassess at the follow-up visit.

6 Who should and shouldn't get a CFU facial lift?

A CFU facial lift suits people from around age 30 with mild to moderate sagging, a double chin or a poorly defined jawline who want to avoid surgery. People who are pregnant, have skin infections in the treatment area or have very severe sagging should not have it.

Note: a CFU lift does not replace a surgical facelift when there is a lot of excess skin and severe sagging. In that case, the doctor will explain the limits of the method clearly so that your expectations are realistic. People whose double chin is mainly due to fat may also want to look into fat-dissolving injections for the double chin.

Good fit: mild to moderate sagging

Cheeks starting to droop, smile lines gradually deepening, a jawline that is no longer as sharp as before.

Good fit: double chin, a less defined face

A double chin caused by loose skin and slack soft tissue; people with more fat may need fat-dissolving injections as well.

Not suitable: pregnancy, skin inflammation in the treatment area

Pregnancy, open wounds, inflamed acne, infection or active skin disease in the treatment area.

Tell your doctor beforehand

Metal implants in the face, recent filler injections, autoimmune disease, blood clotting disorders or a tendency to form keloid scars.

10 Frequently asked questions

1. How much does a CFU lift cost?

According to the Foxy M.D price list effective from March 10, 2026, a CFU V-MAX lift is priced from $158 for the double chin, from $237 for the full face and from $356 for the face plus double chin. Prices are per area, with no limit on the number of shots. The total cost depends on the number of sessions your doctor recommends and whether other methods are combined.

2. Does a CFU lift hurt?

You may feel a sore, hot sensation with each pulse, most noticeable near the jawbone and cheekbones. How much you feel varies with each person's pain threshold. The doctor adjusts the energy during the treatment to balance effectiveness and comfort; some people have mild soreness along the jaw for a few days afterwards, which goes away on its own.

3. How long does a CFU lift last?

According to the Foxy M.D menu, the treatment is repeated about once every 3–6 months. How long results last depends on your age, rate of aging, sun protection habits, sleep and weight. New collagen is still affected by natural aging, so maintenance should follow your doctor's assessment at each follow-up visit.

4. Is one CFU lift session enough?

Many people see improvement after one session, especially when sagging is still mild. People with more visible aging usually need repeat sessions on a cycle, or a combination with a thread lift, Rejuran or Oligio X. The doctor will reassess you at a follow-up visit about 2–3 months later to decide whether more treatment is needed.

5. Is a CFU lift harmful? What are the side effects?

When it is recommended by a doctor and performed with the right technique, a CFU lift usually causes only temporary redness, warmth or mild soreness. Less commonly, there may be temporary numbness, small bruises or burns if the energy is not set appropriately. That is why it should be done at a medical facility with doctors, with your full medical history declared, and with a follow-up visit if anything unusual appears.

6. How is a CFU lift different from HIFU?

CFU is an upgraded generation of HIFU. Both use high-intensity focused ultrasound, but CFU distributes energy more evenly and precisely, so it stimulates collagen more effectively. The focused ultrasound device used at Foxy M.D is the CFU V-MAX. The mechanism and treatment areas are explained in detail in our article on HIFU and CFU V-MAX lifting in Da Nang.
