What is HIFU Non-Surgical Lifting?
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) offers a versatile, non-invasive solution for rejuvenating, lifting, and tightening skin across the face and body, all without surgery. By precisely targeting deep layers of the skin with ultrasound energy, HIFU stimulates collagen production, resulting in a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Designed and developed by Korean medi-aesthetic leaders, Asterasys, the medical-grade (ARTG #393230) Liftera HIFU device represents the pinnacle of HIFU technology. Offering precise, powerful treatments, Liftera effectively tightens, lifts, smooths, and sculpts the face and neck.
HIFU is a popular choice for clients seeking significant anti-aging benefits, including wrinkle reduction and facial and neck contouring, all achieved through non-surgical lifting and tightening of the skin. By converting ultrasound energy into heat and targeting tissue at optimal depths while sparing the surface layer of the skin, HIFU delivers natural lifting and tightening effects without discomfort or downtime.
What Can You Achieve with HIFU Non-Surgical Lifting?
Liftera delivers non-surgical and non-invasive facial lifting, sculpting, tightening and smoothening to more treatment areas than traditional HIFU including forehead and temple, tear trough orbital ridge, jawline and chin, nasolabial folds, upper lip, neck region, mandibular jowls, perinasal region, cheeks and buccal.
How does HIFU Non-Surgical Lifting work?
Liftera utilises exclusive Thermal Diffusion Treatment™ (TDT) technology from Asterasys, revolutionising the way heat energy is directed into the skin compared to traditional HIFU methods. With TDT, Liftera rapidly irradiates and focuses ultrasound at a swift 10 Hz speed, precisely heating collagen fibres in the dermal layer. This innovative approach accurately diffuses heat deep into the skin’s layers, promoting significant collagen renewal and tissue tightening without the invasiveness of traditional methods.
Are HIFU Non-Surgical Lifting treatments suitable for me?
HIFU Non-Surgical Lifting can be treated on all skin types. With the innovations of Liftera HIFU, it delivers comfortable results making it the perfect option for those who are seeking non-invasive facial lifting procedures.
It is important to note that older people with more extensive photo-ageing, severe skin laxity, or very saggy skin aren’t good candidates and may need surgery.
Are treatments painful and are there any side effects?
Liftera enhances the HIFU experience by offering precise targeting and customisable energy settings, reducing discomfort and minimising downtime. It features multiple transducer cartridges that allow for depth-specific treatments, improving precision and reducing treatment time.
Through the advancements of Liftera, it’s tailored approach ensures minimal disruption to surrounding tissues, which diminishes side effects such as swelling and redness. Consequently, patients can typically resume their normal activities immediately, making Liftera an attractive option for non-invasive lifting and rejuvenation procedures.
How long does the treatment take and how many treatments before I can see results?
Enjoy efficient sessions lasting as little as 30 minutes, with visible improvements often observed after just one treatment.
3-5 treatments is ideal for optimal results.
What is the Pre Care and After Care?
Before Your HIFU Treatment:
To prepare for your session and ensure the best results:
Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning for at least 1 week before treatment.
Skip harsh skincare treatments (chemical peels, laser, microdermabrasion, needling) for 2 weeks prior.
Keep skin clean and hydrated – arrive with no makeup, heavy creams, or oils on the treatment area.
Avoid blood-thinning medications/supplements (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oils, vitamin E) for 48 hours before, if possible and if safe for you.
Stay well hydrated – drinking plenty of water helps skin recovery and improves results.
After Your HIFU Treatment:
Mild redness, swelling, tingling, or tenderness are normal and usually settle within hours to a few days. To care for your skin:
DAILY:
- Cover the treated area with SPF 30 or higher sunblock.
- Avoid sun exposure to treated areas.
- Follow your prescribed homecare routine as advised by your treatment provider. Use a moisturising facial mask daily for
1-2 weeks to hydrate your skin.
FOR THE FIRST 24 HOURS POST-TREATMENT:
- The treated area must not be exposed to UVR for 24 hours, even in enclosed places.
- If possible, do not apply a cold compress or ice to the skin, as this will affect the normal wound-healing process.
- Avoid makeup application.
- If possible, avoid taking ibuprofen or other anti-inflammatories for 24-48 hours post-treatment.
UP TO 5 DAYS POST-TREATMENT:
- Avoid the use of scented lotions or soaps. A gentle, hydrating cleanser is recommended.
- Your skin becomes sensitive after HIFU treatment. Therefore, it’s best to avoid skincare products containing active
ingredients like retinol and vitamin C. Focus on soothing and moisturising your skin to aid recovery. - A gentle skincare routine is recommended during this time. Your treatment provider will recommend suitable skincare to protect and hydrate the skin.
UP TO 1 WEEK POST-TREATMENT:
- Do not wax or exfoliate the skin for up to one week after treatment. Waxing or exfoliation can exacerbate skin irritation
and inflammation. - Prioritise gentle skincare to support the healing process.
- Avoid exercise and activities that increase perspiration and body temperature.
- Avoid using pools, spas, saunas, and extremely hot showers. Do not use hot water to shower or wash your face.
UP TO 2 WEEKS POST-TREATMENT:
- We recommend not having laser/IPL treatments.
UP TO 1 MONTH POST-TREATMENT:
- Only use mild exfoliants such as AHAs, BHAs, and granular scrubs no more than x1 every 1-2 weeks.
- Avoid in-clinic exfoliating and rejuvenating treatments. Check with your treatment provider before proceeding with your
next treatment. - Avoid fillers or muscle relaxants on the treated areas for four weeks.
- Avoid the use of prescription-strength exfoliant creams (prescriptive vitamin A).
- Incorporate collagen-boosting foods and supplements into your diet to enhance results.
Tip for clients: Results are natural and build over time. Maintenance sessions are usually recommended every 6–12 months depending on your skin and goals.
Is HIFU Safe?
Yes – HIFU is a safe, non-invasive treatment for skin lifting and tightening. It works by using focused ultrasound energy to gently stimulate your body’s natural collagen production – with no needles, no downtime, and no damage to the surface of your skin.
You may notice mild redness, swelling, or tenderness after treatment, but these effects are temporary and fade quickly.
HIFU is not suitable for everyone (such as during pregnancy, with certain skin conditions, or with implants/pacemakers in the area), which is why a consultation is always performed first to ensure your treatment is safe and effective for you.
How long should I wait between HIFU appointments if I've bought a Package?
Initial Treatment Plan:
- Most clients only need one session for visible results – a course of 3-5 sessions is recommended. The first 3 sessions must be spaced 6 weeks apart (8-10 weeks for older skin, as their rate of healing is slower). The 4th and 5th sessions are to be spaced 6-9 months apart. 6 months: suits clients in their late 40s+ or those noticing laxity sooner. 9 months: suits younger clients (20s-30s) or highly resilient skins that maintain firmness longer.
- After the initial course of 5 treatments is complete, ongoing maintenance is typically recommended every 6–12 months to sustain the results, with the frequency adjusted based on the client’s age, skin quality, and lifestyle.
- The suggested number of treatments may vary between individuals and areas.
Maintenance Treatments:
A maintenance session every 6–12 months helps keep collagen renewal active and results fresh.
Why the Gap?
HIFU triggers your body to create new collagen, which takes time. The full effects continue to improve for 8–12 weeks after treatment, so it’s best not to repeat too soon
Can I be treated with HIFU RF Skin Tightening (and on the same area/s), in the same session?
Combining HIFU with fractional radiofrequency (RF) treatments offers a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation. These treatments work synergistically to target both the deep and superficial layers of the skin, inducing collagen stimulation, tissue tightening, and surface texture improvement. By combining HIFU’s ability to target deeper tissue layers with fractional RF’s focus on the skin’s surface, patients can experience enhanced skin firmness, smoothness, and youthfulness. This combination therapy allows for customisable treatment plans tailored to individual needs and goals, offering a versatile solution for addressing various skin concerns. Talk to our team about the UltraLuxPRO device.
Both treatments work in different layers of your skin, which means they complement each other beautifully:
HIFU lifts and tightens from the deeper layers (like a “non-surgical facelift”).
RF Skin Tightening works closer to the surface to smooth fine lines and improve skin texture.
Some people have both in the same session (HIFU first, then RF), but in most cases we recommend spacing them 2–4 weeks apart. This gives your skin time to respond to one treatment before adding the next, so you get the best possible results without overstressing the skin.
Together, they give a more lifted, firmer, and smoother look than either treatment on its own.
Can HIFU be combined with LED Light Therapy?
LED is a relaxing, completely painless, inexpensive treatment that can easily be added to your HIFU treatment protocol. LED Red light (633nm) stimulates fibroblasts to increase collagen and elastin production and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) formation and also reduces enzymes responsible for breaking down collagen (MMPs). LED Infrared Light (830nm) also increases fibroblast proliferation and increases collagen and elastin synthesis + Reduces collagen degrading enzymes (MMPs). It also enhances growth factor release and performance.
When performed prior to your LIFTERA treatments, NIR and Red LED provide enhanced results that can potentially manifest sooner than if you were to use LIFTERA HIFU on its own. Talk to our team to learn more about our medical-grade MediLUX device, the most powerful LED on the market.
How is the Liftera HIFU Technology that High Brow uses, different to other HIFU technology at alternate Clinics?
LIFTERA (medical grade device that has an ARTG listing) is a groundbreaking, noninvasive treatment for facial and neck firming and lifting. It has a proven track record of exceptional results. It is used and endorsed by leading plastic surgeons and dermatologists.
Most other HIFU devices use a non-digitalised form of ultrasound. LIFTERA is the only device on the market with a digitalised micro focused ultrasound (MFU) that produces a “pure” sound. In contrast, most sounds, including those produced by other HIFU devices, contain various “harmonics” or sound distortions. These harmonics affect how energy is delivered into the body. Because LIFTERA operates with a “pure note” (without harmonic distortions), it can precisely target and heat specific layers of tissue at the exact depth required, while minimising unintended heating of other tissue, such as nerves, and reducing discomfort or pain during treatment.
Liftera implements Thermal Diffusion Technology™ in its Line-type cartridges for improved formation and concentrations of thermal coagulation in the target tissue. TDT™ energy diffusion mechanism can achieve larger thermal coagulation points than traditional HIFU treatment when treating the SMAS and dermis, resulting in higher efficiency of skin tightening and lifting of the face and faster treatment sessions.
The LIFTERA pen applicator empowers our clinicians to bring the transformative results of HIFU to more treatment areas than ever before, including areas beyond the reach of traditional HIFU like the orbital ridge, tear trough, perinasal region and more.
Clients can enjoy immediate results, with no downtime, that progressively improve over the months following the treatment.
