Lifting
Ultrasound, radiofrequency, and microwave treatments can help improve skin firmness and facial contours. The device is selected for the area and your concerns.
Ultherapy Prime
Ultherapy Prime uses ultrasound imaging to guide microfocused ultrasound treatment at selected depths. It is used to address skin laxity in appropriate treatment areas; results vary.
Shurink Universe – Ultra F
A focused ultrasound treatment for skin firmness and facial contours, considered for an initial lifting treatment or ongoing maintenance.
Thermage FLX
Thermage FLX uses monopolar radiofrequency energy to heat targeted tissue and may improve the appearance of facial wrinkles and skin firmness over time. Results and recovery vary.
Eye Thermage FLX
Thermage FLX with a dedicated eye tip, selected to address skin laxity and fine lines around the eyes.
XERF
XERF uses monopolar radiofrequency at two frequencies (6.78 MHz and 2 MHz). Treatment settings are selected to address skin laxity and firmness; the depth and response vary by patient.
InMode FX
Combines bipolar radiofrequency, vacuum suction and controlled electrical pulses to target localised fat and improve contour. Temporary redness, tenderness or bruising may occur and generally settles gradually.
InMode Forma
Forma uses temperature-controlled radiofrequency to help improve skin firmness. Whether FX is included depends on the selected option.
ONDA Lifting
ONDA uses microwave energy (Coolwaves) for selected areas of localized fullness and skin laxity. Suitability, treatment depth and expected response are assessed during consultation.
Potenza Diamond 500
The non-needle Diamond tip delivers radiofrequency energy to support skin tightening and collagen remodeling.
Combination Lifting Protocols
A combination of lifting treatments selected for your skin laxity, facial volume, and treatment goals.
Non-invasive lifting devices
Ultherapy Prime | Shurink Universe | Thermage FLX | InMode FX or Forma | ONDA | Potenza Diamond | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energy type | High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) | High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) | Monopolar Radiofrequency (RF) | Radiofrequency (RF) + High Voltage Pulse (FX) | Coolwaves (Microwaves) | Monopolar & Bipolar RF (Non-invasive) |
| Maintenance | Every 12–18 months | Every 4–6 months | Every 12–18 months | Series of 3–5 sessions; then every 6 months | Series of 3 sessions; then once a year | Every 3–6 months for best texture |
| Results timeline | Gradual: starts at 2–3 months; peak at 3–6 months | Gradual: visible from 4–8 weeks; peak at 1–3 months | Subtle initial lift; peak results at 3–6 months | Cumulative: best after 3+ sessions; 1–3 months for fat loss | Immediate lift possible; peak after 2–3 sessions | Immediate glow; tightening peaks at 4–6 weeks |
| Pain level | Moderate | Low to Moderate | Moderate to High | Moderate to High | Low to Moderate | Low to Moderate |
| Best for | Deep lifting, jawline definition, and brow lift | Facial contouring, double chin reduction, and basic lifting | Skin tightening, smoothing fine lines | FX: Fat reduction & contouring. Forma: Skin elasticity | Immediate tightening and targeted fat cell dissolution | Pore refinement, and surface elasticity |
| Approximate downtime | Mild swelling or tenderness for 1–3 days. No surface marks | Immediate return to daily life; very slight temporary puffiness | Mild redness for a few hours | FX: Potential bruising or suction marks (3–5 days). Forma: None | Immediate cooling prevents surface redness | Slight pinkness or "glow" for 2–4 hours |
Timelines are general estimates. Results and downtime vary with skin, diagnosis and treatment settings.
Choosing a treatment
HIFU, monopolar radiofrequency, and microwave treatments work differently. We assess skin laxity, facial volume, and the treatment area before recommending a device or combination.
Ask our teamNumbing cream, nerve blocks, or cooling may be used depending on the treatment. Settings are selected with your skin and comfort in mind.
Discuss your flight schedule during consultation. Travel timing depends on the treatment and your recovery.
Most often the jawline, cheeks, under the chin and the neck. Depending on the device, the brow, mouth corners and nasolabial area can also be treated.
