HIFU facial lift in Avalon Beach.
A non-surgical way to lift and firm the face and neck, using your skin's own collagen. No needles, no fillers and little to no downtime. Planned around you by Kim at Beaches Beauty in Avalon.
For skin that has started to relax.
HIFU (High Intensity Focussed Ultrasound) is most often chosen by people in their late thirties and older with mild to moderate laxity, who want some lift without surgery.
Skin that feels less firm
Your skin has relaxed and no longer feels as firm or lifted as it used to.
An early lowering brow
You've noticed your brow line dropping, or the skin on your eyelids starting to sag.
Not ready for surgery
You'd like some lift without surgery, whether for personal, financial or practical reasons.
Getting ahead of ageing
You're younger and want to stay ahead of ageing, or keep the results of cosmetic surgery going longer.
Your skin does the work.
Focused ultrasound
Ultrasound energy is delivered below the surface of your skin, at precise depths chosen for your face.
Your body builds collagen
The gentle heat encourages your skin to produce more collagen, the protein that keeps skin firm and lifted.
Results build over time
You may see some effect straight away. The full result develops over the next 2 to 3 months and keeps improving for around 6 months.
HIFU is not a replacement for a surgical facelift. It's a non-surgical option, and results vary from person to person. We'll tell you honestly whether it's the right fit for you.
Different depths for different concerns.
We treat at more than one depth. Your therapist assesses your skin and recommends which depths to treat.
Superficial dermis
The shallowest depth. A 1.5mm "top up" can target fine lines and scarring, with its best visible results 2 to 4 weeks later.
Deeper dermis
Works deeper in the skin to help improve firmness and elasticity.
SMAS layer
The deep layer that supports your face. Treating here is what gives the lifting effect.
Which depths you have depends on your goals and your skin. We'll explain your plan at your consultation.
What your HIFU treatment is really like.
No surprises. Here's how it feels, how long it takes and how often you'll need it.
During your treatment
You'll feel fine pinpoints of warmth or "shock" beneath the skin as the energy is delivered. It's temporary, and it's a sign the collagen process has started. Staying relaxed helps.
A full face and neck takes about 1 hour. A partial face or eye lift takes about 30 minutes.
Afterwards
- Little to no downtime. Most people return to normal activities straight away.
- Some redness, slight swelling, tingling or tenderness is possible, usually fading within a few hours.
- Occasionally, temporary numbness or bruising can occur.
How often
- Generally one treatment every 6 months to 2 years, depending on your age, how much laxity you have and how your skin responds.
- Touch-ups can help keep pace with natural ageing.
- Regular treatments at Beaches Beauty in Avalon and good skincare help maintain your results.

HIFU questions, answered.
What is a HIFU facial lift?
HIFU stands for High Intensity Focussed Ultrasound. It delivers ultrasound energy below the surface of your skin, which encourages your body to build new collagen. Over the following months, this helps to lift and firm the skin, without needles, fillers or surgery.
Does HIFU hurt?
You'll feel fine pinpoints of warmth or "shock" beneath the skin while the energy is delivered. It's temporary and stops when the treatment does. Staying relaxed helps reduce discomfort.
How long does HIFU take to work?
Some effect can be visible straight away. The full result develops over the next 2 to 3 months and keeps improving for around 6 months. Results vary from person to person.
How often do I need HIFU?
Most people have one treatment every 6 months to 2 years, depending on their age, how much laxity they have and how their skin responds. We'll recommend a schedule at your consultation.
Is there downtime after HIFU?
Little to none. You can go back to normal activities straight away, so it can fit into a lunch break. You may have some redness, slight swelling, tingling or tenderness, which usually fades within a few hours. Occasionally there is temporary numbness or bruising.
Can I have HIFU with fillers or Botox?
Yes, but timing matters. Have HIFU first, and fillers a week later. If you've already had fillers, wait 3 to 4 months before HIFU. For Botox, wait at least a week after Botox before HIFU, as heat can reduce its effect, and have HIFU first where you can. Tell us about any recent treatments when you book.
How much does HIFU cost in Avalon Beach?
At Beaches Beauty in Avalon, a HIFU consultation is $61, redeemable towards your treatment. HIFU Glow starts from $264, and a full face HIFU with complimentary LED is $1,631. See the full price list above.
Is HIFU the same as a surgical facelift?
No. HIFU is a non-surgical option that gives gentler, gradual results, and it is not a replacement for a surgical facelift. It suits people who want some lift without surgery, or who want to prolong the effects of cosmetic surgery.
