Advanced HIFU Skin Tightening at HUSH Clinical
At HUSH Clinical, we deliver one of the most advanced HIFU treatments in Australia, using DualHi technology from Korea and Neo from France — the only combination currently available in Australia.
This exclusive technology gives us access to five specialised treatment heads, allowing for the most personalised, precise and targeted HIFU treatments available. Every treatment is customised to your facial anatomy, skin quality, genetics and ageing pattern — never a one-size-fits-all approach.
How HIFU Works
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) works by delivering focused ultrasound energy beneath the surface of the skin, stimulating collagen and tightening supporting structures without damaging the outer skin.
HIFU works across three key layers of the face, including:The SMAS Layer
The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) is the deep structural layer where the muscle and skin connect.
This is the same layer addressed during a surgical facelift, and HIFU is the only non-surgical aesthetic treatment capable of reaching it.
By tightening this layer, HIFU provides true lifting and firming, not just surface tightening — resulting in superior, natural-looking results.
Why Our HIFU Is Different
Our advanced HIFU ultrasound systems are designed to work at precise depths within the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin without harming surrounding tissue or the skin’s surface.
Because we use smaller, more refined handpieces and fully control the energy levels and treatment zones, our HIFU treatments are:
- More comfortable than traditional HIFU devices
- Highly targeted and precise
- Customised for each area of the face
- Suitable for most skin types
This level of control allows us to lift, tighten and strengthen facial structures safely and effectively.
Results: What to Expect
Ultrasound energy is delivered into multiple layers of the skin to trigger a natural collagen renewal process.
Some lifting may be noticeable on the day of treatment, however the most significant results develop gradually over the following 3-4 months, as:
- Collagen regenerates and thickens
- Skin becomes firmer and more elastic
- Facial muscles tighten and support improves
Think of collagen rebuilding like growth — progressive, natural and long-lasting.
Advanced Non-Surgical Facelifting
With cutting-edge international technology, refined protocols and over a decade of facial analysis experience, HUSH Clinical delivers one of the most advanced HIFU treatments available in Australia.
A complimentary consultation (in-clinic or via video call) is available to determine the most effective treatment plan for your face.

There is no downtime, you can return to your normal daily routine after treatment. Temporary numbness and redness may be experienced immediately following a treatment which are mild and temporary in nature.
When will I see results?
You will see a noticeable change in the treated area immediately after treatment. This will continue to improve in the coming 3-6 months as your body produces collagen and elastin in the treated area.
Who is the best candidates for a HIFU treatment?
Almost anyone who wishes to tighten and lift the skin on their face, neck and body can consider this treatment. Patients in their 30’s can use this treatment to stimulate collagen production and delay /. prevent the ageing process. Patients in their 40’s and 50’s can benefit from tightening and lifting with this treatment. It is also suitable for those aged 60+ provided the degree of laxity is not too great, in addition ideal for those who have had facelift surgery in the past and wish to prolong the results.
Who cannot have a HIFU treatment?
Anyone suffering from an active skin infection, open wounds or visible acne lesions in the area for treatment. Clients with pacemakers, electronic implants and those who are pregnant are not permitted to undergo a HIFU treatment. Any nerve issues or Bells Palsy in the past is also contraindicated!
How often will I need a HIFU?
Most people can start with one HIFU treatment, however, in most cases, two - three may be performed to further enhance results. For maintenance, treatments may be scheduled annually or longer however, the frequency will be determined by your sustainability of results.
What Areas Can HIFU Treat?
HIFU treatments target many areas of the face and body, including under the chin, on the neck and jawline, around the eyes and eyebrows, on the cheekbones, and forehead wrinkles. It also works great on other areas, like sagging skin around the abdomen and upper arms.
Aftercare For HIFU
After undergoing a HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) treatment, proper aftercare is important to support the healing process and maximize the results. Here are some general guidelines for HIFU aftercare:
- Protect your skin from the sun: It is crucial to protect your treated skin from direct sun exposure for at least a week after the procedure. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF to shield your skin from harmful UV rays.
- Avoid intense heat and saunas: Refrain from exposing your treated skin to excessive heat sources, such as saunas, hot showers, or hot tubs, for at least 48 hours. Heat can potentially cause discomfort or irritation to the treated area.
- Gentle cleansing: Cleanse your skin gently using a mild cleanser. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleansers that may irritate the treated area. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel instead of rubbing.
- Moisturize regularly: Keep your skin well-hydrated by applying a gentle moisturizer. Moisturizing helps maintain the skin's moisture barrier and promotes healing.
- Avoid aggressive skincare products: Avoid using aggressive skincare products, such as those containing strong acids or retinoids, for a few days after the treatment. These products may cause irritation or sensitivity to the treated area.
- Follow post-treatment instructions: Your healthcare provider or aesthetician will provide specific post-treatment instructions tailored to your individual needs. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
- Be patient with results: It's important to understand that the results of HIFU treatments are not immediate. It may take several weeks or even months for the full effects to become apparent as collagen production is stimulated and the skin undergoes natural rejuvenation. Be patient and allow your skin time to heal and regenerate.
Remember, it's always best to consult with your skin therapist for personalised aftercare instructions based on your specific treatment and skin condition. They can provide you with the most accurate guidance to ensure a smooth recovery and maximize the benefits of your HIFU treatment.
