Melbourne HIFU Treatment Benefits
Also known as the ‘lunchtime facelift’, our Melbourne HIFU treatment requires no downtime with results continuing to develop for up to 6 months following treatment. It’s said to be popular with celebrities like Courney Cox and Jennifer Aniston, who love the HIFU facelift for its many age-defying benefits.
Reduced Wrinkles
By heating up specific layers of the skin, HIFU creates a thermal injury, which stimulates the body to create higher levels of collagen and elastin, thereby reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Tightened Neck Skin Sagging
As part of the collagen regeneration process, HIFU helps strengthen the underlying tissue in the weakened neck skin, helping tighten sagging to produce a younger-looking neck.
Lifted Cheeks, Eyebrows & Eyelids
When collagen and elastin begins to tighten and improve the texture of your skin, it also helps lift the skin around the cheeks, eyebrows and eyelids, common areas impacted by ageing.
Enhanced & More Defined Jawline
Through the collagen production in the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) covering the cheeks, the skin is tightened, helping lift sagging skin away from and defining your jawline.
Tighter Decolletage
HIFU can also be used on the decolletage area, helping to tighten skin, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles to create a younger-looking chest region.
Smoother Skin
Your skin won’t just look younger after a HIFU, but also smoother and with less texture, making it easier to apply make-up, help skincare absorb more easily and enjoy the skin you’re in.

How HIFU Facials — The Non-Surgical Facelift — Work
At Beauty Science, we use the Liftera HIFU machine, designed and developed by Korean medi-aesthetic leaders, Asterasys. This medical-grade (ARTG #393230) device precisely converts ultrasound energy into heat, allowing us to target skin tissue at the optimal depths while not impacting the surface layer of skin. Through controlled thermal energy, we can heat collagen fibres within the deeper layers of your skin, where focused ultrasound waves rapidly diffuse, helping significantly renew collagen and tighten tissue without skin trauma or pain. The results will begin to be revealed for up to 6 months following your treatment.
All skin types can be treated with HIFU, and there’s no downtime. There may be some mild tenderness for a few days following your treatment, however, you shouldn’t need to change your daily routine.
Areas that can be treated with HIFU:
- Forehead and temples
- Tear trough
- Orbital ridge
- Jawline and chin
- Nasolabial folds
- Upper lip
- Neck region
- Mandibular jowls
- Perinasal region
- Cheeks and buccal
Frequently Asked Questions About HIFU
What does HIFU actually do?
High-intensity focused ultrasound, or HIFU, is a non-surgical treatment that uses high-frequency sound waves to increase collagen production in the skin to help tighten and rejuvenate the skin. This works by using a HIFU machine to apply high-frequency sound waves to the target area, which emits heat into the deep layers of the skin, which helps increase collagen production. As we age, our bodies start to produce less collagen, which decreases the elasticity and firmness of our skin, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. So, by increasing the collagen in the skin, it can help leave the skin firmer with a more youthful appearance.
How long does HIFU last?
With a full course of treatments and proper on-going skin care, you can see results from HIFU for up to one to two years. To experience the most from this treatment, it is recommended you undergo three treatments one month apart, and book in for a maintenance treatment every six months or so. The results have been described as a facelift without the surgery, with no downtime and minimal, if any, discomfort during treatment.
Is one session of HIFU enough?
While you can see results from a HIFU after just one treatment, it is recommended you have three treatments one month apart to see the full effects. An extra 2 treatments three months apart will be needed for those 50 years and over. The results also continue to ‘get better’ for up to six months after your treatments as your collagen production increases.
How safe is a HIFU treatment?
HIFU, or high-intensity focused ultrasound, is considered a safe treatment with minimal risks. It should also be avoided if you had recent facial threads, dental inplants or dermal fillers, if you are pregnant, or if you have open sores or lesions on your face.
