HIFU Non-Surgical Facelift

(high intensity focused ultrasound)

A Younger, Fresher Appearance Without the Downtime

The latest technology in non-surgical skin treatment delivers a High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) deep into the skin tissue. The HIFU treatment process stimulates and strengthens collagen and elastin production, providing a firmer base for the skin for a smoother and younger appearance. With HIFU cosmetic treatments coming in at a fraction of surgical options, HIFU could be the answer to your aging and droopy skin concerns without the painful downtime.

Gold Standard Treatments: The Ultraformer 3

At our Pêche Medispa, we’re utilising the leading HIFU device Ultraformer 3. The technology used in this device was initially developed for medical purposes, making it the gold-standard for skin rejuvenation.

We Offer HIFU in Brisbane & the Gold Coast

HIFU works with gentle but geometric precision and is calibrated to target multiple skin layers. These advanced systems use micro and macro focussed ultrasound technology to send bursts of finely tuned ultrasound energy to precise depths to stimulate regeneration. Through the regeneration of collagen & elastin, wrinkles can be eliminated as the skin becomes thick and firm once again.

By adapting ultrasound variable frequencies and cartridges, HIFU can treat several skin and body concerns:

  • 1.5 & 2 mm cartridges: for smoothing wrinkles and fine lines, skin texture, enlarged pores and skin rejuvenation.
  • 3 mm cartridge: for tightening the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production in the dermal layer.
  • 4.5 mm cartridge: targets the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) muscle layer to lift and tone.

The HIFU Facial Keeps Working Long After Treatment

One of the unique benefits of HIFU facial treatments are long-lasting results. Unlike some injectables that diminish after a couple of months as they absorb into the body, the HIFU facelift stimulates the skin to continue producing collagen long-term for a more youthful and skin-tightening appearance

How Does HIFU Treatment Work?

Collagen is a structural protein found and produced within the skin and is what tightens and fills out your skin. As natural collagen production levels drop with age, the skin can start to wrinkle, sag, lose elasticity, and lack vibrancy. HIFU works by stimulating collagen & elastin growth, skin tightening, plumping, and firming skin, turning back the time on fine lines and wrinkles and skin lacking elasticity.

HIFU treatment uses deep dermal micro heating and contraction for multi-layered lifting, a process that continues to work long after treatment with results improving over time. With treatments delivered with gentle, yet calibrated geometric precision, HIFU is used to target multiple skin layers and into the muscular layer beneath.

Clients often report initial skin tightening immediately after their treatment, while others notice gradual natural changes including firmer, tighter skin and eliminated wrinkles. Typically, the best results being noticeable around six to nine months after your first treatment.

Our experienced medically trained specialists can answer any questions you might have about HIFU face or body treatments at any of our Brisbane or Gold Coast clinics.

What Areas Can HIFU Treat?

  • HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) is used to treat these facial concerns:
    • Forehead
    • Eyes/periorbital
    • Eyebrow lift

    • Skin tightening
    • Jawline / Jowls

What Kind of Results Can I Expect From My HIFU Facial?

While the HIFU facelift does not duplicate surgical facelift results, the cosmetic treatment does address the same deep foundational layers of skin without the downtime and risks and for a fraction of the cost—and is an excellent alternative for those not ready for surgery.

  • Improved skin elasticity and firmer skin
  • Lift and tighten sagging skin

What Can I Expect During My HIFU Facial?

Your first step is to have a free consultation with one of our Clinicians before having any HIFU face treatment. That way, we can ensure the treatment is right for you and your goals, and we answer any questions you might have. During your HIFU treatment, your Pêche clinician will apply the Ultraformer 3 cartridge to your skin. You’ll feel some vibration and a warm sensation and may feel muscles in the area contracting. There is always time to ask a question or take a break, just speak up.

What Do I Need to Do to Prepare For My Treatment?

You’ll want to arrive with freshly cleansed skin free of products for the best results and a freshly shaven face for men. Don’t stress if you arrive straight from work with makeup on as we will remove this for you.

Some other tips to help you get the best results include:

  • Refraining from using retinol products 5 days before treatment
  • Making sure you’re well-hydrated for at least a few days prior
  • Avoid anti-inflammatories (unless prescribed) for 24 hours prior
  • Keep your skin protected from the sun

How Do I Care For My Skin After My HIFU Facelift?

A HIFU treatment stimulates the skin to repair more youthful, after causing minor damage. Keeping this in mind, we suggest avoiding anything stressful to your skin for the first 24 hours to give it time to heal.

Some things to avoid are:

  • Using occlusive creams and makeup
  • Heat, including sun exposure, very hot showers, saunas, spas etc.
  • Anti-inflammatories (unless prescribed). Paracetamol is fine

If I Have a HIFU Treatment, Can I Still Have Injectable Fillers And Anti-Wrinkle Treatments?

Yes, you can! While many patients are happy with the results of HIFU alone, there are no issues with combining injectables, and in fact, they’ll work together to give you a more comprehensive outcome. However, we recommend not having injectables within two weeks, either side of your HIFU treatment.

Is HIFU Painful?

Comfort levels vary between people and between body parts. While some may experience discomfort with high intensity focused ultrasound, the sensation involves vibration and heat as the HIFU device sends tiny, concentrated ultrasound energy into the skin. Any discomfort is isolated, temporary, and goes away quickly.

Are There Any Side Effects With a HIFU Treatment?

As HIFU treatments are non-surgical, the side effects are minor and are usually limited to possible redness for a half an hour after a procedure. Some patients experience temporary tingling, tenderness, and minor swelling with a few reporting minor bruising up to two weeks after HIFU treatment. If you’re concerned about side effects, please get in contact with us.

How Long Does A Ultraformer III HIFU Facelift Take?

A full HIFU face and neck treatment can take up to 60 minutes, with individual areas being treated in as little as 15 minutes. HIFU patients can resume normal activities immediately following the procedure.

Is Ultraformer III HIFU Safe?

Yes. Ultrasound energy has been used safely in the medical field for more than 50 years. Ultraformer III is a  medical devices in Australia and is only performed under the direction of a health professional, doctor, or registered nurse. Pêche Medispa clinics are authorised to deliver UF3 treatments for cosmetic applications. Most importantly, Ultraformer III technology is TGA-approved for non-surgical skin lifting and skin tightening and backed by scientific and clinical research papers. Ultraformer III is TGA-approved ARTG #267732.

How Much Does Ultraformer III Cost?

UF3 treatments are priced at just a fraction of the cost of surgical procedures. The Ultraformer price is designed to be more affordable and easily accessible to people just like you. Depending on the area to be treated, prices can range from between $150 to $1300 per treatment. For the best advice, come in and discuss the HIFU non-surgical facelift during your free consultation.

How Long Do Ultraformer III HIFU Facial Results Last?

HIFU facelifts are so effective that youthful changes are noticeable for twelve to eighteen months. We usually recommend only returning for follow-up treatments every six to twelve months to maintain your fresh, youthful appearance.

Which Ultraformer III HIFU Treatment Do I Choose?

While you might find HIFU treatments at a lower cost than at Peche, the quality of devices and treatments can range significantly. Usually, treatments are categorised in two ways, HIFU treatments delivered by medical professionals (focused ultrasound), and fractionated ultrasound performed by therapists.

The main differences between the HIFU we deliver with our Ultraformer III device compared to Micro-fractionated Ultrasound beauty treatments:

A micro-fractionated device or an unbranded HIFU may not omit the same amount of heat or energy as a proper type of HIFU and may require more sessions to achieve visible results. These are unlikely TGA approved & could be unsafe & unproven.

A good HIFU procedure should also NOT be ‘painless’ as HIFU utilises 72°C of heat causing a controlled trauma which in turn, stimulates collagen & elastin.

Ultraformer III HIFU (focused ultrasound) Micro-fractionated Ultrasound -3D, 4D, 7D
●     Needs to only be done once or twice every twelve to eighteen months. ●     4 to 6 treatments needed to see results.
●     Only performed/overseen by qualified medical professionals, ie Doctors & Nurses ●     Performed by therapists with some specialist training. ie Beauticians.
●     Achieves a temperature of up to 72°C under the skin due to focused energy. Clinically proven to stimulate collagen. ●     Can achieve a temperature range of 38 to 50°C under the skin due to smaller heat concentration.
●     Penetrates deeper, up to 4.5 mm under the skin to effectively target the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) layer which is responsible for a non-surgical facelift. ●     Does not penetrate as deep as focused ultrasound HIFU and is unlikely to be able to effectively stimulate muscles.
●     Can be used to reduce excess fats on chin & body. ●     Cannot reduce excess fats.
●     Cost for a full-face, submentum and neck HIFU: about $1300 with smaller areas treated for as little as $150 ●     Cost of each session: about $300 to $600, depending on the device.

How Do I Choose a Proper Type of HIFU?

In our Peche clinics, we work with the Ultraformer III device; however, some other brands include Ulthera and Double-S. We selected our HIFU devices based on the peak power available and the stability of the machines, which result in higher and more efficient energy output. We’re able to deliver better efficacy per treatment and results with just one treatment.

How Many Ultraformer III HIFU Facelift Treatments Do I Need?

A proper Ultraformer III procedure is usually repeated once or twice every 12 months. As for fat-melting procedures such as double chin reduction, 1 to 2 sessions might be needed.

Disclaimer

While most of our clients have amazing results with Ultraformer III HIFU, results do vary, and we can’t make guarantees. In particular, very aged skin may have limited rejuvenation benefits, and HIFU may not be the best option. Book in your free consultation at one of our clinics in Brisbane or Gold Coast for the most accurate, personalised advice.

HIFU Treatment Review

“I had heard about Peche Medispa and a wonderful revitalising skin treatment, HIFU.

My skin was looking tired and sallow, it had lost elasticity and natural plumpness, all signs of ageing.

Miranda was very thorough and knowledgeable in her explanation which gave me confidence in her expertise with the world’s leading device, Ultraformer 3.   It is reassuring to have an experienced registered nurse perform the treatment with the best equipment available.

The treatment was a little uncomfortable at times, but not exceptionally so.   My skin looked smoother, brighter and definitely younger.   It appeared ‘lifted’, and, as time passed, continued to improve.   Months later, my skin is still looking great, and people remark how well I look for my age – I am 80. Thank you, wonderful staff at Peche Medispa.”

I cannot speak highly enough of JESS! Her professionalism and warmth were truly exceptional. Despite feeling nervous about my fat freezing session, Jess’s kindness and engaging communication immediately put me at ease, making me feel both comfortable and well-cared for. Her extensive knowledge and ability to address all of my questions with patience were greatly appreciated. Jess is a tremendous asset to Peche Medispa, and her outstanding service has convinced me to return for all my future spa treatments. The experience was absolutely incredible 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

My rating for review is for a combination of Peche themselves and the service (cryolipolysis) provided. Peche's service is very good. They're polite, professional and kind. As others have said, they make you feel very welcome. They confirm with text and send text follow-ups. Their room is nice, dignity is maintained, everything is clean. Parking is off-street, which was appreciated. The consultation discussed the process, which was good and it meant I was quite well prepared for what to expect during the treatment. Treatment areas were discussed and advantages and disadvantages of each area were addressed, and it seems like they are quite knowledgeable in this area. It feels like a safe place to receive a treatment. I did reach out via text post treatment with concerns that my results were uneven and didn't receive any reply. Ultimately, I chose to cancel my follow-up appointment due to a lack of addressing my concerns, so I am unable to comment on what happens in the follow-up appointment. Their prices are competitive. Cryolipolysis is not a cheap therapy, and they use Clatuu (which I would recommend over other manufacturers) but only have certain handle sizes - which means the abdomen is 2 handles/treatments, doubling the price (other Clatuu places have a long abdo handle, making it better value). The cryolipolysis itself was very effective, but unevenly so. I was not prepared for one side of my body to respond SO differently from the other. One side of my body is +++ better than the other and I have now been left uneven and bulgy on one side, which is devastating to my self confidence. Be warned for those with low pain tolerance - It was quite an uncomfortable treatment initially at the time but the recovery is a bit more intensive/painful than led on in the pre-treatment consultation. I could barely put pants on. The bruising is INTENSE. But recovery is quick and I was still able to function and work, albeit slowly. Unfortunately, I have been left with permanent numbness over the love handle and upper outer leg area (5 month mark now). It's very slowly recovering, and is consistent with nerve damage. Looking online, it seems many people have this adverse event. That being said, it is an effective treatment. Visibly so even after 1 treatment. Permanent and quick. I would most definitely opt for this over invasive treatments like surgical lipo and I would do it again, even with the adverse events mentioned above. I would just get longer on one side than the other. With those things in mind, knowing the risks and benefits, I would overall recommend both Peche and Cryolipolysis and have referred other people when asked.

I had HIFU done at Peche back in November and visited them again this month for my follow up appointment. The ladies at Peche are so kind, accomodating and genuinely excited to be apart of your skin journey! I felt confident and secure in starting my treatments with them as they do such a great job at making sure I understood what my treatment entailed.

I had an amazing experience!! The staff were so friendly and welcoming. They sat me down and discussed all the different treatments they offered and what they thought would best be suited for me and my skin. I got the HIFU treatment (hollywood glow) and the results are instant with little to no redness.
