HIFU—high-intensity focused ultrasound—is one part of the wider professional ultrasound-device category. Products may differ in imaging, focal geometry, cartridge depths, line or dot delivery, treatment controls and intended use. “Ultrasound lifting machine” is therefore too broad a label for a meaningful comparison.
How to read this directory: Numbering is for navigation, not an order of superiority. Entries are grouped by technology and market origin and included based on a publicly visible professional product portfolio. Employee ranges not verified in reviewed primary sources are identified as such. Inclusion is not endorsement, market-share evidence, clinical advice or confirmation of regulatory status.
This guide presents a market map of brands whose public portfolios include HIFU or related focused-ultrasound platforms. It is not a ranking by treatment effect or market share. Sofwave is shown separately because it describes a proprietary ultrasound approach and should not automatically be classified as conventional HIFU.

Five questions that make HIFU comparisons useful
- Is imaging integrated? If yes, determine what is visualized, when the operator uses imaging and what the display is intended to show.
- What are the transducer depths and focal patterns? Ask for the complete cartridge/transducer list and the approved configurations for the exact model.
- How is treatment delivery controlled? Review output settings, line/dot modes, pulse controls, contact checks and fault handling.
- What evidence supports the intended use? Separate manufacturer marketing, peer-reviewed publications and regulatory labeling; they answer different questions.
- What market authorization applies? Verify the exact device, manufacturer/legal holder, model and intended use in the country where the device will be placed on the market.

FAQ
Are Ultherapy, Ultraformer and Sofwave all the same technology?
No. They all use ultrasound energy, but their system designs, delivery approaches and product labels differ. The buyer should compare actual technical documents rather than treating the category terms as interchangeable.
Is every device marketed as HIFU authorized for medical use?
No. The word “HIFU” in a product listing does not establish a device’s registration or permitted use. Check the relevant regulator’s current record for the specific model and market.
