Rediscover lifted, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin with HIFU Facial Rejuvenation using Ultraformer III, one of the world’s most advanced and trusted technologies for non-surgical skin tightening and lifting.
At CosmoMed, this treatment is performed by our experienced Dermal Specialist, using TGA-approved Ultraformer III technology, the original and most refined system of its kind, trusted globally for its precision, safety, and effectiveness.
This non-invasive treatment targets the deep structural layers of the skin to stimulate collagen, tighten tissue, and restore natural firmness and contour without surgery or downtime.
How It Works
Ultraformer III uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver controlled energy into precise depths of the skin, including the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System), which is the same layer targeted in surgical facelifts.
The ultrasound energy creates thermal coagulation points that trigger the body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates collagen and elastin regeneration, gradually tightening and firming the skin over the following weeks and months.
By addressing both deep and superficial layers, HIFU helps to redefine facial contours, lift sagging skin, and soften fine lines, resulting in a refreshed and more youthful appearance that develops naturally over time.
Treatment Areas
At CosmoMed, our HIFU system can be precisely tailored to target specific areas of concern or provide full-face rejuvenation.
- Full Face Lift: Comprehensive lifting and tightening of the entire face for overall rejuvenation.
- Full Face + Neck: Addresses facial sagging while tightening skin around the neck and jawline for a seamless contour.
- Lower Face + Neck Contouring: Defines the jawline and reduces laxity in the lower cheeks and neck area.
- Full Face + Submentum: Focuses on lifting and tightening the face while refining the under-chin area.

What to Expect
Your treatment begins with a detailed skin assessment and consultation. After cleansing, a cooling ultrasound gel is applied to ensure comfort and optimal energy delivery.
The Ultraformer III handpiece delivers precise ultrasound energy at varying depths (1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm), targeting both deep and superficial tissues. You may feel gentle warmth or tingling, which indicates the collagen-stimulating process has begun.
The session typically takes around 90 minutes, and most clients return to normal activities immediately. Mild redness or tenderness can occur and usually subsides within 24 hours.
Visible tightening and lifting continue to develop for up to three to six months after treatment. For the best and longest-lasting results, we recommend a course of treatments every three months to maintain optimal collagen renewal and firmness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ultraformer III is the latest generation of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound technology, designed to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin by stimulating deep collagen production. It is TGA-approved in Australia and trusted worldwide for non-surgical facial lifting.
Unlike lasers or radiofrequency, HIFU targets the deeper structural layers of the skin, including the SMAS. This allows for more precise and longer-lasting lifting without damaging the surface.
Most clients experience mild warmth or tingling during treatment. The sensation indicates that collagen stimulation is occurring. Any discomfort is temporary and minimal.
Some clients notice immediate skin tightening, but full results develop gradually over three to six months as new collagen and elastin form.
Results can last up to 12 to 18 months depending on skin condition, age, and lifestyle. For best results, we recommend treatments every three months to stimulate ongoing collagen production and maintain firmness.
