Non Surgical Facelift
Non Surgical Facelift Adelaide
Over time, our skin naturally loses collagen and elastin, the key proteins that provide firmness and elasticity. This loss, combined with the effects of gravity and environmental factors such as South Australia’s high UV exposure, can lead to the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. These changes can result in a tired or aged appearance, particularly in the lower face and jawline.
At Advanced Cosmetic Medicine in Adelaide, we use the Ultraformer III to address these signs of ageing. This medical-grade device uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology to deliver precise energy to the skin’s deeper layers. This energy stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, leading to a gradual and natural-looking lifting and tightening of the skin over time. All treatments are carried out by the clinic’s experienced team under the medical oversight of Dr Rahma Targett, with a focus on patient safety and thorough care.
The Ultraformer III is a versatile option for a range of cosmetic concerns and may be suitable for adults experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity in the face, neck, or jawline. Unlike surgical procedures, it requires no incisions, no general anaesthesia, and typically involves minimal downtime. The technology allows for precise targeting of specific areas, including the face, neck, and decolletage. A consultation at our Kent Town clinic can help determine whether this treatment is appropriate for your individual concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
A non surgical facelift works by using advanced technology, such as High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), to deliver energy to the deeper layers of the skin. This controlled energy stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, which can help to gradually lift, tighten, and firm the skin.
Ultraformer is generally considered suitable for all skin types and tones. It may be a good option for those seeking non-invasive skin tightening without surgical procedures.
Absolutely. While commonly used on the face and neck, Ultraformer can also be used on the body to improve skin laxity in areas such as the décolletage or underarms.
The recovery after a non surgical facelift is minimal. You may experience some temporary redness, swelling, or a tingling sensation in the treated area, but these effects typically subside within a few hours to a day. You can generally return to your normal daily activities immediately after your treatment.
The results from a non surgical facelift are not permanent. The longevity of the results can vary depending on your individual skin type, age, and lifestyle. Many clients may enjoy the benefits for several months to over a year, and maintenance treatments can help to prolong the effects.
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects to consider. Common temporary effects can include redness, mild swelling, tingling, or tenderness in the treated area. These typically resolve within a few hours to days. Less common side effects may include temporary numbness or small bruises. Rare complications can include burns or nerve irritation, though these are uncommon when the procedure is performed by trained practitioners using appropriate settings. Your clinician will discuss all potential risks during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.
A non surgical facelift using HIFU technology may be suitable for adults who are experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, particularly around the jawline, cheeks, or neck. It is generally appropriate for those who wish to address early signs of ageing without undergoing surgery. However, individual suitability depends on a number of factors including skin condition, medical history, and treatment goals. A consultation at our Adelaide clinic is recommended to determine whether this treatment is right for you.
The number of sessions can vary depending on your individual skin condition and the results you are looking to achieve. Some clients may notice improvement after a single session, while others may benefit from a course of treatments spaced several weeks apart. Your clinician will recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs during your initial consultation.
A surgical facelift is an invasive procedure that typically involves incisions, general anaesthesia, and a significant recovery period. A non surgical facelift using HIFU technology works by delivering focused ultrasound energy beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production, without incisions or anaesthesia. While the results of a non surgical approach are typically more subtle and temporary compared to surgery, it involves considerably less risk, no scarring, and minimal downtime. A consultation can help determine which approach may be more appropriate for your concerns.
