Liftera is a fully digitalised HIFU device. It targets precisely, delivering the energy to a single spot rather than letting it spread through the skin to areas that weren't meant to be treated.

It also delivers true peak power: when it reports 1 joule, it delivers exactly 1 joule, not 0.8 or 1.5.

Liftera HIFU reaches the SMAS layer (the deeper structural layer of the face), whereas radiofrequency doesn't reach this depth. Liftera tends to suit more mature clients, while radiofrequency is usually recommended for younger clients.

No. Liftera works on the dermis, the layer beneath it and the SMAS, so it's designed for skin tightening and lifting rather than fat reduction.

No. Liftera isn't TGA-approved for use on the body, so we only use it on the face, neck and hands.

Yes. Liftera can be used on the hands with a 1.5mm or 3mm depth cartridge.

Individual results vary, but collagen rebuilding usually takes 8 to 12 weeks, which is when the skin-tightening effect becomes visible.

It varies from person to person. We typically recommend 3 to 5 sessions, with the 4th and 5th serving as maintenance appointments. We'll tailor your plan at your consultation.

Yes. We recommend using a pigment blocker for 2 to 4 weeks before your first session to help prevent pigmentation after treatment. Taking essential fatty acids (EFAs) and oral antioxidants, like vitamin C, can also support healing. We'll talk you through this at your consultation.

Yes. Please avoid SPF, vitamin A and C products, retinol, oils, and AHAs or BHAs before your treatment.

No. Antibiotics can make your skin more sensitive, which raises the risk of a reaction to the treatment energy. We'll book you in once you've finished your course.

Please wait at least 1 week after IPL hair removal on the area before your Liftera treatment.

We ask that all facial piercings are removed before your session. Tongue piercings are fine, as they stay inside the mouth and don't touch the treatment area.

Yes. Liftera can be performed on areas treated with Botox, as long as it's been at least 4 weeks since your Botox appointment.

Yes. Liftera can be performed on areas with filler, as long as it's been at least 8 weeks since your filler appointment.

Yes. To keep you comfortable, we place a cotton pad between your teeth and cheek to protect the area during treatment.

No. Metal conducts heat very well, so the focused energy could heat a metal implant faster and hotter than the surrounding tissue, creating a risk of overheating and burns.

Liftera can be performed on areas that have had surgery, as long as it's been at least 3 months since the operation.

Liftera can only be performed at least 2 years after cancer.

Yes, if your puffer is used as a preventative. If you've had a recent asthma flare-up, we'll postpone your treatment until you're well.

Yes, as long as the tattoo is at least 2 to 3 months old. We avoid areas with red ink or metal-based pigments, as these are more sensitive to heat and may fade.
