High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Non-Surgical Facelift is the latest clinically proven non-surgical cosmetic technology. It uses HIFU technology to deliver heat energy to the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
This non-surgical facelift helps to tighten and define the skin around the face and neck areas and aids in stimulating and renewing the skin’s collagen, improving the skin’s texture and reducing sagging, leaving your skin feeling smooth and potentially appearing more youthful in as little as one to two sessions.
In fact, HIFU works to rejuvenate the skin (and deliver similar results) as a traditional facelift — but without the surgery or extensive downtime.

Issues tackled by our HIFU Non-Surgical Facelift
- Fine lines and wrinkles
Non-surgical facelift treatments can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, especially around the eyes, lower and upper eyelids, mouth and forehead. HIFU treatments work by stimulating collagen production deep within the skin to naturally soften fine lines over time.
- Loss of skin elasticity
Enhance the firmness and flexibility of your skin while rejuvenating its youthful contours. HIFU facelifts can address sagging, especially in the cheeks, neck and jowls. By penetrating the deeper layers of your skin, this treatment helps restore a firmer, smoother and more rejuvenated appearance.
- Fine lines and wrinkles (crow’s feet and laugh lines)
HIFU facelifts effectively target wrinkles, including fine lines around the eyes and mouth. As wrinkles develop from repeated facial expressions, the HIFU Non-Surgical Facelift works to specifically smooth and soften these areas for a more youthful appearance.
- Volume loss
Restore lost volume in areas like the cheeks, temples and under the eyes. HIFU’s precision boosts collagen production in targeted areas, plumping and firming hollowed sections to help you achieve fuller cheeks or a more defined jawline.

What is HIFU Non-Surgical Facelift?
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Non-Surgical Facelift is the latest clinically proven non-surgical cosmetic technology which uses HIFU technology to deliver heat energy to the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
This procedure helps to tighten & define the skin around the face and neck areas and aids in stimulating and renewing the skin’s collagen, improving the skin’s texture, and reducing sagging, leaving your skin feeling smooth and looking younger in as little as 1-2 sessions.
In fact, HIFU works to rejuvenate the skin (and deliver similar results) as a traditional facelift – but without the surgery, pain, or downtime.
Noticeable Results in 2–4 Sessions
In the following days post-treatment, you may notice your skin is firmer and feels more lifted. Over the next 6 to 12 weeks, you will continue to see a dramatic improvement in facial contouring and a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Note that results may vary depending on your individual lifestyle, age and metabolism.
Lifts the Face and Firms the Neck
HIFU offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional facelifts, rejuvenating the skin and tightening muscles—no surgery, no needles, just natural-looking results.
Results Can Last Up to 18 Months
The effects of your treatment will continue to develop over time, and you may experience a more contoured look for up to 18 months post-treatment.
Penetrates Below the Skin’s Surface
We use the latest HIFU technology, the Focus Dual®, which can penetrate up to 4.5mm below the skin’s surface, going beyond the dermis into the subcutaneous tissue to tighten the superficial muscle layer (SMAS) where the skin starts to weaken.
Clinically Proven and Safe Technology
HIFU technology has been around for many years and has undergone a range of clinical studies to demonstrate its effectiveness in delivering facial rejuvenation and skin-tightening effects in the treatment area.
However, as with any cosmetic treatment, a HIFU facelifting session carries potential risks and side effects. Temporary swelling, redness or blotchiness, numbness or a mild tingling sensation are possible but typically subside within a few days.
Why Choose HIFU?
Significant Results in 2-4 Sessions
Immediately after the treatment, you’ll notice your skin is firmer and its texture is lifted. Over the next 6-12 weeks you will continue to see a dramatic improvement in facial contouring & a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles!

HIFU works to rejuvenate the skin and tighten the muscles similarly to traditional facelifts – you’ll enjoy similar benefits, but without the surgery, pain, or downtime!
Results Can Last Up to 18-months
The immediate effects of your treatment will continue to develop over-time and many patients continue to experience a more contoured look for up to 18-months post treatment.

Pre-treatment preparation
During your initial consultation, our therapists will advise you on how to prepare for your treatment to ensure optimal results. They will also help manage any post-treatment side effects you may experience.
- Pre-treatment preparation includes:
- Avoiding cosmetic treatments four weeks before treatment.
- Avoiding microdermabrasion and laser on the treatment area two weeks before treatment.
- Avoiding sun exposure 48 hours before treatment.
- Avoiding cosmeceuticals containing active ingredients like vitamin A, vitamin C, AHAs and BHAs three to five days before treatment.
- Advise us if you have dental implants or metal plates.
- Shaving before treatment, if necessary.
This treatment may not be suitable for you if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; taking any acne, skin thinning or photosensitive medications; have had threads in the last six months or suffer from open sores, acne, infections or skin sensitivities.
Aftercare and recovery
Be sure to follow the aftercare steps provided by your therapist to ensure a smooth healing process. Here are some general guidelines:
- For two to three days after treatment, avoid using exfoliants or scrubs on your skin to help prevent irritation and allow your skin to heal without additional stress.
- Three to five days after treatment, avoid waxing the treated area and using cosmeceuticals containing active ingredients like vitamin A, vitamin C, AHAs and BHAs.
- Refrain from lasering your face for two weeks post-treatment.
- Steer clear of alcohol, smoking and sauna visits during the recovery period.
- The treatment area can be more sensitive to sunlight, so it’s important to minimise sun exposure for several weeks. We recommend that you generously apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily to shield your skin from harmful UV rays and support the ongoing skin-tightening process.
- Do not scratch, rub or pick at your skin to minimise the risk of damage or irritation.
- Avoid hot baths, steam rooms and massages for 24 hours post-treatment.
- Stay hydrated every day with your recommended daily water intake.
- You will attend a scheduled follow-up appointment 12 weeks after your treatment to review your progress.
Focus Dual® Advanced HIFU Technology
The Focus Dual® High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound is a TGA-approved (artg. No. 371470) medical-grade device that delivers non-invasive treatments for skin tightening and fat reduction.
The Focus Dual® for HIFU penetrates deeper than previous treatments, including Laser, IPL, RF and Fractional Laser and can penetrate the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer, which is the same muscle group that is tightened during surgical facelifts.
HIFU heats the tissue at the target point of 65–75 degrees, creating spaced micro-injuries — this action then promotes the body’s natural wound healing response to stimulate rapid collagen and elastin production and immediate contraction of the tissue.
Key Benefits of the Focus Dual®
- Can treat younger & older skin (many other brands are unable to treat younger clients)
- Increased comfort compared to previous HIFU devices
- Includes cartridges that can treat closer to the eyes (not available with other HIFU devices)
- Penetrates up to 4.5mm below the skin’s surface to go beyond the dermis
- Improves, tightens and firms the muscles
- Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
- Improves and tightens sagging and loose skin
- Enhances jaw definition
- Rejuvenates the skin and stimulates skin cells
- Lifts, contours and tightens the skin and tissue

Results may vary based on individual factors
As factors such as lifestyle, body composition, overall body health and individual body goals will vary from person to person, the right treatment course and the ideal number of sessions required to achieve your individual goals should be discussed with a qualified therapist.
At Elite Body Contouring, we offer complimentary consultations so that our experienced therapists can meet with you one-on-one to discuss your goals and advise you on the right treatment course just for you.
Ways to help optimise your HIFU non-surgical facelift results
At Elite Body Contouring, we’re dedicated to ensuring you achieve the best possible results from your HIFU treatment. To optimise your outcome, we recommend incorporating the following into your post-treatment care:

- Following aftercare advice — Our experienced therapists provide personalised aftercare instructions tailored to your treatment. Carefully follow these recommendations to maximise your treatment results.
- Healthy lifestyle choices — Maintaining a well-balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals can help boost skin health. Limiting alcohol, smoking and processed foods can also help enhance the treatment’s long-term benefits.
- Committing to a skincare routine — Incorporate high-quality skincare products, such as moisturisers and serums, that fit your skin type to nourish and repair your skin.

FAQ: Technology & Devices
The HIFU device uses focused ultrasound energy to target the layers of skin just below the surface. Through this process, the tissues and cells start to heat up rapidly and become damaged. The damage to the cells actually stimulates the production of more collagen, which in turn provides additional structure to the skin, leaving it feeling and looking tighter and firmer following the treatment.
HIFU non-surgical facelift penetrates much deeper than Radio Frequency Skin Tightening and can also work at much higher temperatures, resulting in more dramatic results.
Radio Frequency requires multiple sessions to see a noticeable tightening and lifting effect, whereas HIFU requires only one or two sessions for more visible results.
To find out if you’re a suitable candidate for HIFU, or to explore our full range of treatments to find the right one for you, we offer free consultations at every Elite Body Contouring Clinic.
Yes you can, although we highly recommend for you to speak to one of our Therapists before booking additional treatments of HIFU to ensure that the correct protocol and waiting periods during and between treatments are followed correctly.
FAQ: Results & Experience
HIFU works to tighten the same muscles that are tightened during an actual facelift. Typically, HIFU is designed for more mature skin. However, in some cases, it can be suitable for younger skin types. We recommend coming in for a complimentary consultation with one of our trained therapists to determine whether this treatment is right for you.
HIFU is a new technology that can deliver results in as little as two to four sessions. After the treatment, you may notice that your skin is firmer and its texture is lifted.
The full effect of the treatment generally takes around 12 weeks to kick in, and you will continue to see an improvement in facial contours, skin elasticity and a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles over this time.
A non-surgical facelift uses non-surgical treatments such as HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) technology, designed to rejuvenate and refresh the appearance of the facial and neck areas without the need for surgical or invasive methods, anaesthesia or hospitalisation.
Additionally, non-surgical facelift treatments require less downtime and leave less visible post-treatment.
Your therapist will first thoroughly cleanse the skin, followed by marking out the treatment area using a white eyeliner pencil. This will ensure that all sensitive areas and main nerves are avoided throughout your treatment.
Following this, ultrasound gel is placed on the treatment area. This gel can initially be quite cold but it becomes very soothing once the energy/heat is emitted.
As your treatment progresses, you may feel a slight pin-prick sensation, heat or tenderness in some areas, such as the jawline, lower half of the neck and lower cheeks. However, your therapist can work with you to help manage any discomfort throughout your treatment.
We recommend waiting four weeks between HIFU treatments to allow for the HIFU facial rejuvenation and lift to take full effect.
We believe anyone looking into having a non-surgical treatment should have a professional one on one consultation with the service providers they are interested in having a treatment with.
This way you are able to ask as many questions as you like, in the privacy of a consultation room with a trained professional, get a feel for your therapist and the clinic , see how the clinic will track and measure results, and then be able to go away with enough information to make an informed decision.
