HIFU Treatment Sunshine Coast
Based on the Sunshine Coast, Villanova Contour are leading the way in body contouring treatments that get results. Among our latest treatments is the highly sought after HIFU 9D. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to tighten and lift the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and skin laxity. The ultrasound energy is focused on specific layers of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, generating heat that stimulates collagen production.
This process leads to firmer, more elastic skin over time as the collagen fibres contract and regenerate. HIFU is often used as a non-surgical alternative to facelifts and other cosmetic procedures, providing noticeable results with minimal discomfort and downtime. It is an effective treatment option for targeting sagging skin and fine lines on the face, neck, and other areas of the body.
Villanova Contour provide HIFU treatment on the Sunshine Coast that will bring you results, and leave your skin visibly tighter, smoother and more youthful looking.
HIFU Treatment Sunshine Coast - What Is HIFU?
9D HIFU - an innovative non-surgical and non-invasive skin lifting and tightening treatment that harnesses the power of highly sophisticated Micro and Macro Ultrasound energy. HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) 9D is an advanced non-invasive cosmetic treatment designed to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin.
The treatment utilises high-frequency ultrasound waves, delivered through a handheld device, to penetrate deep into the targeted layers of the skin without affecting the surrounding tissues. By transferring safely temperatures of 65-75°C into the targeted zones.
The induced heat leads to neocollagenesis, a process where the body produces fresh collagen. This results in a gradual tightening and lifting effect, improving the overall texture and appearance of the skin.
We're excited to introduce 9D HIFU to Villanova Contour
HIFU and The Effects on Collagen Production
Collagen is a structural protein that is a key component of connective tissues in the body, including skin, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. It provides strength, elasticity, and firmness to these tissues. In the skin, collagen plays a vital role in maintaining its structure and integrity, helping to keep it firm, smooth, and supple.
As we age, collagen production naturally decreases, leading to a loss of skin elasticity and the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Environmental factors, such as sun exposure and pollution, can also accelerate collagen breakdown. This is why collagen is important for maintaining youthful-looking skin.
Collagen supplements and treatments, such as topical creams, injections, or procedures that stimulate collagen production (like HIFU), are popular in the beauty and skincare industry. They aim to replenish or boost collagen levels to improve skin texture and appearance, promoting a more youthful and healthy look.
HIFU Treatment - Non Invasive with No Downtime
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to target specific layers of the skin and underlying tissue. Because HIFU does not involve incisions or injections, it offers several advantages for individuals seeking aesthetic improvements:
No Downtime: One of the key benefits of HIFU is that it requires little to no downtime. After the procedure, patients can resume their daily activities immediately. This makes HIFU a convenient option for busy individuals who cannot afford to take time off for recovery.
Minimal Discomfort: HIFU is generally well-tolerated, with patients experiencing only mild discomfort during the procedure. Any sensations typically subside quickly, and there is no need for anaesthesia or sedation.
Reduced Risk of Complications: Since HIFU is non-invasive, it carries a lower risk of complications compared to surgical alternatives. There are no risks associated with incisions or anaesthesia, making the treatment safer for most patients.
Gradual, Natural-Looking Results: HIFU stimulates the production of collagen, leading to gradual improvements in skin firmness and elasticity. This process provides natural-looking results over time, avoiding the sometimes dramatic changes associated with surgery.
Customisable Treatment: HIFU can be tailored to target specific areas of concern, allowing for personalised treatment plans that address each patient's unique needs and goals.
A HIFU Facial - Non Surgical Facelift
After undergoing HIFU treatment, patients may notice a tightening of the skin and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment can also help improve jawline definition and lift the brows. Results vary depending on the individual's skin condition, age, and treatment areas.
The full results of HIFU treatment may take a few weeks to a few months to become apparent, as the body needs time to produce new collagen and tighten the skin. Immediate improvements in skin tightness may be noticeable right after the procedure, but the full effects take time to develop.
The results of HIFU can last up to a year or more, depending on the individual's skin type, lifestyle, and aging process. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain the results over time. It is important to follow a good skincare routine and protect the skin from sun damage to help maintain the results.

Who is HIFU For
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that may be a good option for individuals who are looking to improve the appearance of their skin by reducing wrinkles and skin laxity without undergoing surgery. Those who might choose HIFU include:
People with mild to moderate skin laxity: HIFU is most effective for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity, especially in areas such as the face, neck, and jawline.
Individuals seeking a non-surgical alternative: Those who want to avoid surgical procedures like facelifts or other invasive treatments may prefer HIFU for its minimal discomfort and downtime.
People interested in natural-looking results: HIFU provides gradual improvements over time, leading to natural-looking results as collagen production is stimulated and the skin tightens.
Busy individuals: Since HIFU involves minimal downtime and allows patients to return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure, it can be a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Patients with realistic expectations: HIFU can provide noticeable improvements, but it may not produce as dramatic results as surgical procedures. Candidates should have realistic expectations about the outcomes.High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that may be a good option for individuals who are looking to improve the appearance of their skin by reducing wrinkles and skin laxity without undergoing surgery.

HIFU Aftercare
After undergoing High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment for either facial or body procedures, there are some important post-treatment care steps that patients should follow to ensure optimal results and recovery:
Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep the skin and body hydrated. This can help promote healing and support the body's natural processes.
Sun Protection: Protect your skin from the sun by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Avoid direct sun exposure, especially in the treated areas, as sun damage can hinder the healing process and affect the results.
Avoid Heat Sources: Avoid exposing the treated areas to hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, or intense heat for at least 48 hours after the treatment. This can help reduce the risk of irritation and inflammation.
Gentle Skin Care: Use gentle skincare products on the treated areas, avoiding harsh exfoliants or irritants. Cleansing and moisturising the skin can help maintain its health.
Avoid Strenuous Activities: For the first few days after treatment, avoid strenuous exercise or activities that could cause excessive sweating. This can help prevent irritation and allow the skin to heal properly.
Watch for Side Effects: Mild side effects such as redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated areas may occur but should resolve within a few days. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider.
Follow Up with Your HIFU Team at Villanova Contour: Attend any follow-up appointments scheduled by your healthcare provider. This allows them to monitor your progress and assess the results.
Patience with Results: Be patient as the full results of HIFU can take a few weeks to a few months to become apparent, depending on the area treated and your body's response.
So Should I Book In For HIFU or Fat Freezing?
We know it can all seem complicated, but the answer is dependent on what result you are after
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
HIFU is primarily used for skin tightening and lifting. It targets specific layers of the skin and underlying tissue, stimulating collagen production to improve firmness and elasticity. HIFU is commonly used for facial treatments such as non-surgical facelifts, as well as for tightening skin on other parts of the body.
HIFU provides a natural-looking lift and tightening effect without the need for surgery. It is a non-invasive procedure with minimal discomfort and no downtime, making it convenient for busy individuals.
Fat Freezing (Cryolipolysis)
Fat freezing targets localised fat deposits by using controlled cooling to freeze and destroy fat cells. The body then naturally eliminates the dead fat cells over time. This treatment is typically used for areas such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and arms.
Fat freezing is a non-invasive procedure that effectively reduces stubborn fat deposits without surgery. It offers gradual and long-lasting fat reduction in targeted areas.
At Villanova Contour, we recommend that if you are looking for noticeable reduction to fat deposits, that you should consider a fat freezing treatment, but if your concern is in skin laxity, or with wrinkles and lines, then we would suggest HIFU. However, combining HIFU and fat freezing can offer comprehensive improvements to both the skin and body contours. While fat freezing reduces localised fat deposits, HIFU tightens and firms the skin, potentially reducing any loose skin resulting from the fat loss, maximising the results of both treatments.High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
The synergy between High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatments and fat-freezing procedures creates a comprehensive and effective strategy for body contouring. Fat freezing targets more significant localised fat deposits by cooling adipose tissue, causing the fat cells to crystallise and eventually be naturally eliminated by the body. It is fantastic for reducing fat but does not address skin laxity.
By using fat freezing to remove excess fat and HIFU to tighten the skin, individuals can achieve more defined body contours and a more youthful appearance. This combination can provide more harmonious and balanced results. Combining the two treatments may lead to enhanced overall aesthetic improvements compared to using either treatment alone. HIFU can help tighten the skin after fat freezing, giving a smoother and more contoured look.
We look forward to welcoming you to Villanova Contour for your HIFU 9D Treatment on the Sunshine Coast.
