HIFU treatment Sydney
What is LinearZ HIFU skin tightening?
By Jamal Ammar, Registered Nurse.
LinearZ HIFU is a high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment. It delivers focused ultrasound energy to targeted depths beneath the skin’s surface, which is intended to stimulate the body’s natural collagen response over time.
At Skinxlulu we use LinearZ HIFU for skin laxity on areas such as the jawline, neck, jowls and lower face. It is a non-surgical treatment and does not involve incisions. Every treatment starts with an individual consultation, so you know what to expect, and the risks, before you decide.
Suitability
Is LinearZ HIFU right for me?
Who is LinearZ HIFU suitable for?
Every treatment starts with a consultation to make sure it suits you. We take into account your medical history, your expectations and your goals.
Who is LinearZ HIFU not suitable for?
Anyone for whom the treatment is contraindicated. That can include pregnancy or breastfeeding, an active skin infection or cold sore in the area, and some medications. A consultation is always recommended, so we can check before you book.
If LinearZ HIFU isn’t right for you, we will say so and talk through other options.
Tried and tested by Jamal, our founder
I tried many HIFU devices before I found LinearZ, and it changed how I treat skin laxity. Most people see a change from their first treatment. It’s comfortable, the energy is controlled, and it suits most faces.
You may have heard that HIFU causes fat loss in the face. That comes down to who is holding the handpiece, not the technology. In the right hands, with the right depth and settings, the energy goes exactly where it should.
We never treat two people the same way. Depth, mode and energy are set for you, and reset every time you come in. We were one of the first clinics in Australia to own LinearZ, and we’ve spent that time mastering it.

Comparisons
How does LinearZ HIFU compare?
LinearZ HIFU or RF microneedling?
They work differently. LinearZ HIFU uses focused ultrasound for skin laxity. RF microneedling uses fine needles and radiofrequency energy, and is also used for skin texture and scarring. We offer Virtue RF at Camperdown and Secret RF at Bella Vista. Which one suits you is decided at your consultation.
LinearZ HIFU or a surgical facelift?
LinearZ HIFU is non-surgical and does not replace a facelift. If surgery is the better option for what you want to change, we will tell you.
LinearZ HIFU or Ultherapy?
Ultherapy and LinearZ HIFU each use focused ultrasound. Ultherapy pairs it with ultrasound imaging. LinearZ HIFU delivers energy in dot and linear patterns, with a real-time display of the mode and depth in use. We chose LinearZ HIFU for that flexibility.
LinearZ HIFU or Ultraformer?
Ultraformer and LinearZ HIFU are focused ultrasound devices from different manufacturers. They differ in their cartridges, treatment depths and how the energy is delivered. LinearZ HIFU offers dot and linear modes from the same cartridge, so we can change approach area by area.
