HIFU Face Pre & Post Treatment Care

HIFU Face at Body Sculpting Clinics is a non-surgical facelift alternative using High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound using the Apollomed HIFU System — a TGA-registered device (ARTG No. 357130) designed for precision skin firming and lifting. to lift, firm and rejuvenate the face and neck.

Ultrasound energy is delivered precisely to the SMAS layer — the same structural layer addressed in surgical facelifts — triggering immediate collagen contraction and long-term new collagen synthesis. Visible lifting and firming without incisions, needles, anaesthesia, or downtime.

Correct preparation ensures the treatment area is free of products or conditions that could affect energy delivery or increase skin sensitivity. Certain cosmetic aesthetic and active skincare ingredients can interact with HIFU — advising your practitioner of all recent treatments is critical.

How to Prepare for HIFU Face — Pre-Treatment Care

  • Arrive with a completely clean face — remove all makeup, serums, oils and skincare before your appointment
  • Avoid chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser or dermaplaning on the face for 2 weeks prior
  • Avoid cosmetic aesthetic in the treatment area for at least 2 weeks before HIFU
  • Do not apply retinoids, AHAs, BHAs or other active skincare for 24–48 hours before your session
  • Avoid excessive sun exposure — do not treat actively tanned or sunburnt skin
  • Stay well hydrated in the days leading up to treatment — hydrated skin conducts HIFU energy more effectively
  • Inform your practitioner of any dental implants or metal implants near the face or neck
  • If you have a history of cold sores (herpes simplex), advise your practitioner before booking — prophylactic antiviral medication may be recommended
  • Inform your practitioner of any recent facial surgeries, active skin conditions or medications

After Your HIFU Face — Post-Treatment Care

  • Mild redness, tenderness or slight swelling immediately following treatment is normal — typically resolves within 24–48 hours
  • Do not touch, rub or massage the treated area for 24 hours post-treatment
  • Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser to calm the skin — avoid anything with active ingredients
  • Wear SPF 50+ mineral sunscreen daily for at least 2 weeks post-treatment
  • Avoid active skincare ingredients (retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C) for 48–72 hours post-treatment
  • Avoid heat exposure — steam rooms, saunas, vigorous exercise — for 24 hours
  • Avoid laser, IPL, RF or other energy-based facial treatments for 2 weeks post-session
  • Stay well hydrated to support collagen synthesis in the weeks following treatment
  • Results are progressive — do not assess final results before 8–12 weeks
  • A follow-up review is recommended at 12 weeks to assess your lifting and tightening results

What to Expect During Recovery

HIFU Face has minimal downtime. Most clients return to their normal routine — including work and social commitments — the same day.

First 24–48 hours: mild redness or subtle swelling easily covered with makeup. Days 2–7: typically unremarkable with no visible signs of treatment. Weeks 4–8: the skin begins to visibly lift, firm and tighten as new collagen matures. Months 2–6: the full extent of results continues to develop — with many clients seeing progressive improvements well beyond their 3-month review.

No needles. No downtime. Just natural skin lifting and tightening.

Wear SPF 50+ daily — UV exposure breaks down new collagen and shortens the duration of your results

Stay well hydrated — collagen synthesis is water-dependent

Use a clinician-recommended home skincare routine with collagen-supporting ingredients

Avoid smoking — it significantly impairs collagen production and wound healing

Combine with RF Rejuvenation to further enhance surface-level skin quality between HIFU sessions

Annual maintenance HIFU treatments sustain and build on your lifting and tightening results

HIFU Face works powerfully alongside RF Rejuvenation (enhances surface skin quality and tone), Microneedling (collagen induction at the mid-dermal level), and cosmetic aesthetic — allow at least 2 weeks between other treatments and HIFU. Together, these create a comprehensive non-surgical facial rejuvenation approach at Body Sculpting Clinics.

Contact your nearest Body Sculpting Clinics clinic if you experience: a cold sore outbreak following HIFU on the face, prolonged pain or headache after treatment, blistering or unusual skin changes, or swelling that worsens beyond 72 hours post-treatment.
