Trying HIFU for the first time?
That’s completely normal.
At Ricky’s Aesthetics, many first-time Brisbane clients come in curious about skin tightening but unsure what the treatment actually feels like or what results to expect.
Here’s exactly what happens at your first appointment.
Step 1: Consultation and skin assessment
Every HIFU treatment begins with a personalised consultation.
We’ll discuss:
- your skin concerns
- treatment goals
- target areas
- expected outcomes
- suitability for treatment
You can also book a free HIFU skin consultation before treatment.
Step 2: Treatment planning
Once we assess your skin, we map the treatment areas.
Common focus areas include:
- cheeks
- jawline
- neck
- lower face
Depending on your goals, we may recommend either our classic HIFU facial treatment or advanced 16D HIFU treatment.
We’ll also explain HIFU pricing so you know exactly what to expect.
Step 3: During treatment
A gel is applied and the HIFU handpiece delivers targeted ultrasound energy.
You may feel:
- warmth
- small tingling sensations
- brief pulses
Most clients tolerate treatment well.
The session length depends on the treatment area.
Step 4: After treatment
There is usually minimal downtime.
You may notice mild:
- redness
- sensitivity
- tightness
This settles quickly for most people.
Many clients also pair treatment with LED light therapy Brisbane for calming and recovery.
Step 5: Results over time
HIFU stimulates collagen gradually.
Many clients notice:
- early tightening in the first few weeks
- ongoing lifting over 2–3 months
- continued collagen improvement
