Lifting Treatments

Lift, firm, and redefine — without surgery. Our non-invasive energy-based treatments use clinically proven ultrasound and radiofrequency technology to stimulate the deep structural layers of the skin, rebuilding the collagen framework that keeps your face lifted and contoured.

Lifting Treatments — 01

Ultherapy® Face Lifting

FDA-cleared focused ultrasound lifting — the gold standard in non-surgical face and neck lifting.

About Ultherapy®

Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared device to non-invasively lift the brow, chin, neck, and décolletage. Using micro-focused ultrasound with visualisation (MFU-V), Ultherapy delivers precise thermal energy to the same foundational layer of tissue addressed in surgery — the SMAS — without disrupting the skin surface.

The heat energy triggers the body's natural regenerative response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin over 2–3 months. The result: a genuinely lifted, tightened, more youthful contour — achieved entirely from within.

  • Lifting of the brow, mid-face, and jowls
  • Neck laxity and the appearance of a "tech neck"
  • Décolletage lines and skin quality
  • Chin and jawline definition

A single treatment typically delivers visible lifting that continues to improve over 3–6 months. Results can last 1–2 years.

What to Expect

01
Consultation
Your areas of concern are mapped. Ultrasound imaging verifies tissue depth for optimal targeting.
02
Preparation
Skin is cleansed. A topical or oral analgesic is offered for comfort.
03
Treatment
The device is applied to the skin. You'll feel brief bursts of heat — the collagen stimulation at work.
04
Lifting Begins
Initial lift may be visible immediately. Full collagen remodelling occurs over 2–3 months.

Treatment time: 60–90 minutes for a full face and neck. No downtime. Mild redness or swelling may occur and resolves quickly.

Pre-Treatment

  • Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin
  • Stay well hydrated
  • Inform us of any metal implants, pacemakers, or skin conditions in the area
  • Avoid retinoids 2–3 days before
  • Discuss pain management options with your provider

Post-Treatment

  • Some redness, swelling, and tenderness is normal and temporary
  • Avoid sun exposure and apply SPF 50+
  • Continue normal skincare — gentle products are preferred for the first 48 hours
  • Avoid strenuous exercise the day of treatment
  • Results continue to improve over 2–3 months — be patient with the process

Frequently Asked Questions

Ultherapy achieves lifting by stimulating your own collagen production deep in the tissue — no incisions, no anaesthesia, no recovery time. It is ideal for patients in the early to moderate stages of facial laxity who prefer a non-surgical approach.
You will feel warmth and brief tingling sensations as the energy is delivered — this signals collagen stimulation. We offer pain management options to make the experience as pleasant as possible.
Most patients achieve excellent results with a single treatment, repeated annually or every 18–24 months to maintain results as the natural aging process continues.

Lifting Treatments — 02

Ultrasound Face Lifting

Targeted ultrasound energy to firm, lift, and restore definition to facial contours.

About Ultrasound Face Lifting

Ultrasound face lifting harnesses focused sound wave energy to gently heat the deeper layers of skin and subcutaneous tissue — triggering the body's natural collagen renewal response. Completely non-invasive, it delivers meaningful lifting and firming results across the face and neck with no incisions and no downtime.

  • Jowl reduction and jawline refinement
  • Cheek and midface lifting
  • Brow and upper eyelid tightening
  • Neck and décolletage firming
  • Overall skin texture and quality improvement

What to Expect

01
Skin Assessment
Areas of concern are evaluated and a tailored energy protocol is designed.
02
Prep
A conductive gel is applied. The handpiece is guided smoothly across the treatment area.
03
Treatment
Warmth and mild pressure are felt as ultrasound energy is delivered to targeted depths.
04
Gradual Lift
Results emerge over 6–8 weeks as new collagen forms and matures.

Treatment time: 45–75 minutes. No downtime — return to your day immediately.

Pre-Treatment

  • Cleanse skin, remove all makeup
  • Avoid retinoids 2 days before
  • Disclose any metal implants or active skin conditions
  • Stay hydrated

Post-Treatment

  • Mild redness and warmth for a few hours — normal
  • Apply SPF 50+ and avoid direct sun
  • Continue normal routine — gentle products for 48 hours
  • Expect gradual improvement over 6–8 weeks

Frequently Asked Questions

Both use ultrasound energy, but Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound that targets the deep SMAS layer specifically. Ultrasound face lifting is a gentler, more comfortable option excellent for maintenance and for patients earlier in their lifting journey.
Initial improvements typically appear within 4–6 weeks, with full results at 3 months. A series of 3–4 sessions may be recommended for best outcomes.

Thermage Eye — 450 Reps

Specialised radiofrequency tightening for the delicate eye area — the ultimate eye lift without surgery.

About Thermage Eye 450 Reps

Thermage Eye uses specialised radiofrequency (RF) technology with a precision tip designed specifically for the delicate eye area, safely delivering collagen-stimulating heat to lift and tighten upper and lower eyelid skin.

The 450 Reps protocol delivers 450 treatment pulses — providing thorough, consistent energy coverage for meaningful tightening of the entire periorbital zone.

  • Upper eyelid hooding and excess skin
  • Under-eye crepiness and fine lines
  • Crow's feet and lateral eye wrinkles
  • Overall periorbital skin quality and firmness

What to Expect

01
Eye Assessment
The periorbital area is evaluated. Protective eye shields are placed for safety.
02
Treatment
The specialised eye tip delivers 450 RF pulses systematically across the upper and lower lids.
03
Comfort
Alternating bursts of heat and cooling make the experience comfortable throughout.
04
Results
Gradual tightening and lifting develops over 2–6 months as new collagen matures.

Treatment time: 30–45 minutes. No downtime. Mild transient redness resolves within a few hours.

Pre-Treatment

  • Remove contact lenses before treatment
  • Arrive with clean eyes, no eye makeup
  • Disclose any history of eye surgery or implants
  • Avoid retinoids around the eye area for 2 days

Post-Treatment

  • Mild warmth and redness around the eyes — resolves within hours
  • Apply a gentle eye cream to soothe
  • Wear sunglasses outdoors and apply SPF
  • You may reinsert contact lenses after a few hours

Frequently Asked Questions

Thermage Eye has a specialised tip and protocol designed specifically for the periorbital area. Protective eye shields are used throughout, and the technology has an established safety profile for use around the eyes.
For patients with mild to moderate eyelid laxity, Thermage Eye can produce excellent results without surgery. In cases of significant hooding, surgery may be more appropriate — a discussion we can have candidly during your consultation.

Thermage® Face

Radiofrequency skin tightening and lifting for the entire face and neck — one treatment, lasting results.

About Thermage®

Thermage is a globally recognised radiofrequency skin tightening treatment. Using capacitive radiofrequency (CRF) technology, Thermage uniformly heats the collagen-rich deeper skin layers while cooling and protecting the surface — causing existing collagen to contract and stimulating new collagen formation over the following months.

  • Sagging jowls and jawline blurring
  • Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Neck wrinkling and laxity
  • Overall facial firming and skin quality
  • Brow and cheek lifting

A single Thermage treatment delivers results that last 1–2 years, making it an exceptional value in non-invasive skin lifting.

What to Expect

01
Grid Marking
A temporary treatment grid is applied to ensure systematic coverage of all areas.
02
RF Delivery
The device delivers precisely dosed RF energy to the deep dermis with each pulse.
03
Comfort System
A built-in cooling system alternates with heat delivery throughout for comfort.
04
Progressive Lift
Some immediate contraction is felt. Full collagen remodelling matures at 3–6 months.

Treatment time: 60–90 minutes for a full face. No downtime whatsoever.

Pre-Treatment

  • Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin
  • Remove all jewellery from the face and neck
  • Disclose any metal implants, pacemakers, or active skin conditions
