WHAT IS LIFTERA?
Liftera is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment that uses HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) to lift, tighten, and contour the face and body without surgery or downtime. It stimulates collagen production by delivering focused ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of the skin.
HOW DOES LIFTERA WORK?
Liftera targets the SMAS layer (the same layer tightened during a surgical facelift) using precise ultrasound energy to cause thermal coagulation, which triggers collagen regeneration and tightening over time.
WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED WITH THE LIFTERA?
Common treatment areas include:
- Full face
- Jawline and jowls
- Neck and décolletage
- Eyebrows and forehead
- Nasolabial folds
- Under the chin
- Abdomen or body (for skin tightening)
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LIFTERA?
Ideal candidates are individuals:
- In their late 20s to 60s with mild to moderate skin laxity
- Looking for a non-surgical alternative to a facelift
- Seeking to improve skin firmness, sagging, and fine lines
IS LIFTERA SAFE?
Yes, Liftera is TGA-approved in Australia and CE-marked in Europe. It is a safe, non-invasive procedure when performed by a trained practitioner.
DOES THE TREATMENT HURT?
Most clients report a mild to moderate tingling or warm sensation during the treatment. Pain tolerance varies, but Liftera is known for being more comfortable than traditional HIFU treatments due to its fractional delivery system.
HOW LONG DOES LIFTERA SESSION TAKE?
The initial first treatment takes 90 minutes, and followups a full face treatment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. Smaller areas may require less time.
IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME AFTER THE PROCEDURE?
No. Liftera has minimal to no downtime. You may experience mild redness or swelling, which usually resolves within a few hours.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
- Initial results may be visible immediately after the session.
- Full results develop gradually over 8–12 weeks as collagen continues to regenerate.
HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST?
Results can last 12 to 18 months, depending on your age, skin condition, and lifestyle. Maintenance using the correct skin care routine and custom treatments may be recommended to enhance results or help.
HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE NEEDED?
Most clients see excellent results after just one session. However, depending on skin condition and goals, a second treatment may be recommended after 3 to 6 months.
CAN LIFTERA BE COMBINED WITH OTHER TREATMENTS?
Yes, Liftera can be safely combined with treatments like:
- Skin needling
- Dermal fillers (after appropriate spacing)
- Anti-wrinkle injections
- Chemical peels
A tailored treatment plan should be developed by your clinician.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Temporary side effects may include:
- Redness
- Slight swelling
- Tingling
- Mild tenderness
These usually subside within 24–48 hours.
WHO SHOULD NOT GET LIFTERA?

- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have metal implants or pacemakers in the treatment area
