Are you noticing the signs of ageing—such as sagging skin, fine lines, or a loss of firmness—and searching for a non-invasive solution that truly delivers results? 16D HIFU treatment, available at Ricky’s Aesthetics, may be exactly what you need. This advanced skin tightening and lifting procedure is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after non-surgical treatments in Australia, offering visible improvements without the downtime of traditional surgery.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about 16D HIFU treatment, including how it works, the benefits, what to expect, and why Ricky’s Aesthetics is the preferred destination for this advanced aesthetic service.
What is 16D HIFU Treatment?
HIFU, or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure used for non-surgical facelifts and skin tightening. The term “16D” refers to its ability to deliver ultrasound energy in 16 different focal lines simultaneously, allowing it to treat multiple layers of the skin with increased precision and effectiveness.
Unlike traditional facelifts, which require incisions and extended recovery, 16D HIFU is completely non-invasive. It stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time.
How Does 16D HIFU Work?
The treatment uses focused ultrasound waves to target three main layers of the skin:
- Superficial dermis
- Deeper dermis
- SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System)
These waves create thermal coagulation points, causing controlled micro-damage that triggers the body’s healing response. In doing so, the skin begins to regenerate from within, producing new collagen and elastin over the following weeks and months.
At Ricky’s Aesthetics, practitioners are trained to customise the treatment depth and intensity based on your skin type, condition, and goals—ensuring optimal results with minimal discomfort.
Benefits of 16D HIFU Treatment
16D HIFU offers a wide range of benefits that make it an appealing alternative to invasive procedures:
1. Non-Invasive and Needle-Free
There are no incisions, needles, or anaesthesia required. Most clients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
2. Natural, Gradual Results
Because the treatment works by stimulating your body’s natural healing process, results appear gradually and look completely natural.
3. Long-Lasting Effects
While individual results may vary, the collagen regeneration process can continue for up to 6 months post-treatment, with results lasting 12 to 18 months for many clients.
4. Minimal Downtime
Most people experience only slight redness or swelling that subsides within a few hours. It’s a perfect lunchtime treatment for those with busy schedules.
5. Versatile Applications
16D HIFU can be used to treat a range of areas, including:
- Forehead and brow
- Eyes and crow’s feet
- Cheeks and jawline
- Neck and décolletage
Abdomen, arms, and thighs (for body contouring)
Who is a Suitable Candidate?
16D HIFU is ideal for men and women experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity who want to improve their appearance without undergoing surgery. It’s best suited for individuals in their 30s to 60s, though it can be effective at any age depending on skin condition.
Those with more advanced sagging or excess skin may be better suited to surgical procedures. A consultation at Ricky’s Aesthetics will help determine the most appropriate course of action for your skin concerns.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Duration: A typical 16D HIFU session lasts between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Discomfort: You may feel a slight tingling or warmth during the procedure, but it is generally well-tolerated without the need for anaesthetic.
Recovery: There is little to no downtime. Some clients may experience mild redness or tenderness, which resolves quickly.
Results: Initial tightening may be visible immediately after treatment, but full results develop over 2 to 3 months as collagen production increases.
