HIFU Australia - The Process
What to Know Before Your HIFU Treatment
What is HIFU?
HIFU, or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, harnesses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, leading to improved skin firmness. HIFU is a non-invasive treatment highly sought after for its face-lifting and skin-tightening benefits, making waves in the field of aesthetic medicine as an innovative approach. Villanova Contour consistently delivers outstanding results for our clients, often negating the necessity for conventional cosmetic surgical procedures.
HIFU precisely targets deeper skin layers with focused ultrasound energy. This energy rapidly heats the tissue, inducing cellular damage. However, this damage prompts cells to ramp up collagen production, ultimately enhancing skin firmness and tightness. So, while it may sound counterintuitive, this controlled damage actually triggers a beneficial response, yielding firmer, rejuvenated skin.
Before Your HIFU Treatment
Villanova Contour is a leading provider of HIFU in Australia, because we practice the best standards to ensure our client’s safety while maximising their results. We recommend that you prepare for your HIFU treatment by:
Refrain from consuming heavy meals and fatty foods within one hour before the session.
Abstain from caffeine intake for at least two hours prior to your HIFU treatment.
Avoid alcohol consumption for a period of 24 hours leading up to your appointment.
Do not undergo any laser treatments in the treatment area for at least two weeks prior.
Minimise sun exposure 48 hours before treatment; we cannot proceed if the skin has been sunburnt (if the skin exhibits redness, irritation, or any breaks, treatment must be postponed until complete healing)
Our treatments are not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.
Please inform us of any blood-thinning or skin-thinning medications you are currently taking, and notify us in advance if you have any metal plates or screws in the treatment area.
The Procedure - During Your HIFU Treatment
As a leading provider of HIFU in Australia, we provide a relaxing experience for our clients. We are strong believers in self-care and aim to make sure our treatments are a chance for you to take some well-deserved time for yourself while providing HIFU treatments that will bring you results.
During your HIFU treatment, you can expect a thorough and effective process. Initially, your treatment area will receive careful cleansing, with any makeup or skincare products delicately removed. The area will be marked to guide the procedure.
Following this, a conductive gel will be gently applied to the treatment area, facilitating the smooth transmission of ultrasound waves and ensuring the HIFU device's optimal movement.
As our skilled professionals maneuver the HIFU device over the treatment area, you may notice sensations of warmth or tingling. These sensations are entirely normal as the ultrasound waves penetrate the skin to target the underlying tissues. The duration of your procedure may vary depending on the size and number of areas receiving treatment. Rest assured, our team will ensure your comfort and safety throughout the session.

At Villanova Contour, we support you throughout your treatment from start to end - it’s what makes us a leading clinic for HIFU in Australia. We know that to get the best results from your HIFU, we need exemplary post-care, and recommend the following:
