Skin Tightening
Say goodbye to saggy skin and hello to a skin tightening treatment lift that lasts.
NO SURGERY. NO NEEDLES. NO DOWNTIME.
ABOUT THIS TREATMENT
Going under the knife used to be the only way to significantly tighten saggy skin. At Body Catalyst we offer two advanced non-surgical skin tightening treatments, HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) and radio frequency, which are quickly becoming the preferred way to tighten loose skin caused by ageing, pregnancy, weight loss and even genetics.
HIFU uses a micro-focused ultrasound energy, utilizing 60-70 degree heat, to promote gradual skin tightening and lifting without damaging the outer layers.
Radio Frequency energy stimulates elastin and collagen production through heating the skin to around 38-39 degrees, to visibly tighten, tone and rejuvenate the skin.
- Turn the clock back on ageing
- Lift, contour and tighten the skin around your face, neck and decolletage with HIFU
- Take a relaxing yet efficient approach to skin tightening with Radio Frequency (RF)
- Rejuvenate skin elasticity and prevent skin laxity.
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) skin tightening treatment is a procedure which is non-invasive that employs focused ultrasound waves to stimulate the production of collagen in the deeper skin layers. It’s a popular non-surgical alternative for addressing sagging or loose skin on the body, face, neck, and décolletage.
The HIFU treatment, heats the skin to around 60-70 degrees causing the proteins in the area to stiffen and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin to tighten the skin. HIFU uses different cartridges to target different layers of the skin, reaching as deep as the SMAS layer (muscle layer) to lift and contour the skin.
Radio frequency (RF) skin tightening treatment is a non-invasive procedure using electromagnetic waves, heating the skin to 38-39 degrees to stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity. By delivering RF energy into the deeper skin layers, it generates heat, tightening existing collagen fibers and promoting new collagen formation. This method is favoured for addressing mild to moderate skin laxity on the face and body, offering a safe and no-downtime solution for improving skin tone and reducing wrinkle
Radio Frequency provides a relaxing approach to skin tightening and is comfortably used across all areas of the body to reduce skin laxity.
Body Catalyst is Australia’s largest and most experienced Body Shaping and Wellness Clinic.
We offer non-surgical skin tightening treatments across Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne and Brisbane. All our treatments are non-surgical and require no downtime. Our Ulfit HIFU and Dalyance radio frequency technology is medical-grade, offering tighter & firmer skin with maximum collagen rejuvenation.
To achieve optimal and long-lasting results, here are a few things you can do pre and post skin tightening treatment.
- Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before and after your treatment as well as caffeine for at least 2 hours before and after your treatment
- To properly flush out your lymphatic system and eliminate the fat cells, staying hydrated is key. We recommend drinking at least 2 litres of water pre & post procedure.

“After having three children and losing most of my weight, I still had a ‘tummy bump’ and loose skin that just wouldn’t budge. After Body Catalyst’s skin tightening treatments my tummy doesn’t feel uncomfortable anymore, the excess fat has mostly gone and I almost have my youthful flat stomach back where my skin is nice and taught!”

IS THIS FOR ME?
Do you find that no matter how many different creams, oils, or serums you use or how much you exercise, your skin doesn’t seem to bounce back like it used to? Your skin is your body’s largest organ and it takes a lot of work to keep cells healthy, the skin firm, and renewed.
Regular exercise and hydration can help, but no one is immune to the signs of ageing. Loose skin, sagging skin, and loss of firmness can be due to ageing, lifestyle, genetics, natural body weight fluctuations, and post-pregnancy.
At your Free consultation, our body experts will be able to advise if Ulfit skin tightening is appropriate for you.
Areas to treat: All areas on the body and the face. The most popular areas for skin tightening are the belly, arms, inner thighs, knees, hands, face, neck, chin, and décolletage.

FAQ
The RF energy penetrates the skin layers to selectively heat the skin tissue and the extracellular matrix where collagen fibres are embedded. The local heating causes an immediate contraction of collagen fibres, and at the same time increases the metabolism of the fibroblasts thereby accelerating the production of new collagen and elastin fibres. The concentration of collagen fibres and the regeneration of the collagen and elastin deposits, tighten the skin layers creating smoother, firmer and younger looking skin.
Yes. Our skin tightening treatments are non-invasive – meaning the treatment does not penetrate the skin so there is no risk of infection or complication. The treatment is pain-free with minimal side effects. All our technology is medical- grade.
All areas on the body and the face. The most popular areas for skin tightening are belly, arms, inner thighs, knees, hands, face, neck, chin and décolletage.,
