5D HIFU Skin Tightening Treatment Adelaide for Face and Body
Achieve firmer, lifted, and more youthful skin with our advanced HIFU treatments in Adelaide. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a cutting-edge, non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to target deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and naturally lift and tighten your face and body—without surgery or downtime.
What Is HIFU?
HIFU, short for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, is a revolutionary treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to heat the skin’s deeper layers. This stimulates collagen regeneration and tightens the tissue, delivering a lifting effect that continues to improve over time. It is often referred to as a “non-surgical facelift” due to its powerful skin-firming results.
What Can HIFU Help With?
HIFU is suitable for a range of concerns, particularly in areas where skin sagging or laxity is present. Our clients in Adelaide often choose HIFU to address:
-
Sagging skin on the face, neck, and décolletage
-
Drooping eyelids and jowls
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Lack of jawline definition
-
Loose skin on the arms, stomach, and thighs
How HIFU Works
During the treatment, ultrasound energy is precisely delivered to target depths beneath the skin. This energy heats the tissue, triggering a natural healing response that boosts collagen and elastin production. The result is tighter, firmer skin over the following 8–12 weeks, with results lasting up to 12–18 months.

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound technology to lift, tighten and tone the skin on your face and body.
Ultrasound waves are focused deep below the surface of the skin where it reaches the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS or muscle layer) to stimulate collagen and elastin production and the body’s own natural healing process, without harming the skin’s outer layer.
The result? Long-lasting firming and tightening of the skin after just one treatment, with no downtime.
HIFU Facelift and Body Slimming Treatment
HIFU can treat and melt stubborn fat – perfect if you’re close to your ideal size but just couldn’t seem to tighten certain areas through diet and exercise.
HIFU is a non-surgical body slimming and sculpting treatment, not a weight loss solution. It targets and destroys fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues so you can reduce fat to achieve a slimmer and tighter figure.
5D HIFU vs Conventional HIFU
With the arrival of 5D HIFU at Visible Changes Adelaide, you can now benefit from effective skin tightening treatment that’s four times quicker than traditional HIFU treatments.
The HIPRO-V is able to penetrate deep into the subcutaneous layer and target heat energy to specific points below the surface of the skin, results are achieved more quickly and effectively.
HIFU tones and tightens facial skin – essentially a facelift without surgery or downtime. HIFU targets the layers of the skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, lift brows, lift sagging jowls and melt the fat on double chins to restore the jawline. HIFU can also lift sagging skin on your neck and décolletage.

Differences between HIFU and Radiofrequency treatments
HIFU | RF |
HIFU uses ultrasound technology and the body’s own natural healing process to tighten and tone skin on your face and body. It stimulates the growth of collagen without harming the outer layer of skin, resulting in long-lasting firming and tightening of the skin after just one treatment. HIFU delivers a more precise and more intense fractional ultrasound energy.
|
RF skin tightening relies on devices that use radiofrequency energy to reduce the appearance of fine lines and sagging skin by heating the skin’s deeper layers to stimulate collagen and elastin production. RF is based on a bulk heating strategy.
|
HIFU goes much deeper into and beyond the dermis, being able to reach the SMAS layer. | RF focuses on epidermal layers and does not go beyond the deep dermis. |
HIFU is generally performed as a single treatment.

How long till I see results?
- Immediate Effects: Some individuals may experience immediate tightening and lifting of the skin following a HiFu treatment session. However, these immediate effects are often temporary and may be more noticeable immediately after the treatment but fade over the next few days.
- Early Results (Weeks 1-4): In the weeks following the treatment, many patients start to notice subtle improvements in their skin texture and tone. Some may experience a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, as well as a slight tightening of the skin. However, these changes are usually gradual and may continue to improve over time.
- Progressive Improvement (Months 2-3): By the second to third month after treatment, patients typically see more significant improvements in their skin’s appearance. Collagen production continues to increase, leading to further skin tightening, smoother texture, and reduced wrinkles. Many patients report that their skin looks more youthful and radiant than before the treatment.
- Optimal Results (Months 3-6): The full benefits of HiFu skin treatments are usually seen within three to six months after the final treatment session. At this point, collagen remodeling is well underway, and the skin continues to improve in firmness, elasticity, and overall quality. Patients may notice a significant reduction in wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin, with results lasting for up to a year or longer.
- Maintenance and Follow-Up: To maintain the results of HiFu skin treatments, patients may opt for periodic maintenance sessions every 12 to 18 months, depending on their individual needs and preferences. Additionally, practicing good skincare habits, including sun protection and moisturization, can help prolong the results of HiFu treatments.
What depths does it target?
It can also target different depths – 4.5mm, 3mm, 2mm and 1.5mm – to produce a more tailored effect according to your needs.
How long will I need to recover?
After your treatment, you can resume your normal activities immediately and there are no special measures that you have to take.
Is HiFU painful?
HiFu can be painful. The pain varies depending on each persons pain threshold. Our technicians are trained to provide you with the best possible results and comfort.
