Tighten & Tone: The Rise of Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Treatments

Posted in: , , , , ,
Posted by:

The road to firmer, more youthful-looking skin doesn’t necessarily involve a scalpel.

Thanks to major advancements in non-surgical technologies – like ultrasound therapy, radiofrequency (RF), and fractional laser resurfacing – more people are opting for a subtle, refreshed, and more contoured appearance without the downtime or risks of surgery.

As early as our 30s, we begin to lose collagen and elastin – proteins that keep skin firm and elastic. This can lead to sagging around the jawline, eyelids, cheeks, or loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy. Australian Skin Face Body offers tailored, non-invasive solutions for both face and body.

Non-surgical treatments work in a multi-layer approach, with a combination of medical grade skincare for the top layer; lasers or skin-tightening devices for the deeper layers; and subtle treatments to restore structure down to the bone. This approach stems from a growing understanding that the face ages in layers, and that we need to address all of them to have a truly holistic approach.

For the face, the gamechanger Ultraformer MPT, uses ultrasound energy to lift and sculpt. This device provides a customised treatment procedure for the face, neck and decolletage using the very latest ultrasound technology. Popular treatment areas include contouring of the superficial jowl pads, reducing under chin fat and skin laxity.

Potenza combines RF energy with microneedling to boost collagen, tighten skin, and gradually improve laxity – ideal for mild to moderate sagging on the face and neck.

For overall skin rejuvenation, fractional CO2 laser resurfacing, tailored to your needs, can offer powerful improvements in texture, tone and pigmentation.

When it comes to body skin tightening, there are contouring solutions – targeting fat cells while tightening the overlying skin, improving tone and reducing skin laxity in areas like the stomach, thighs and arms.

With minimal recovery time, most of these treatments, will seamlessly fit into a busy lifestyle.

Consultations on reducing the appearance of wrinkles are also available with Plastic Surgeon, Mr Ian Holten (MED0001130662) and Nurse Practitioner, Lara Bain (NMW0001108079)

CUCF 2025: Elevating the Future of Aesthetics

Posted in: ,

The future of aesthetics was on full display at the Cutera University Clinical Forum (CUCF) 2025, held in Sydney from 2–4 May.

As one of Australia’s premier events for leaders, innovators, and practitioners in aesthetic medicine, the forum delivered a weekend of advanced learning, practical workshops, and forward thinking discussions.

ASFB Clinical Team Leader, Fiona Priddle attended the three-day forum along with  Hayley Douglas, and Tayla Marshall from ASFB Ballarat.  They participated in expert led panels and live treatment demonstrations throughout the weekend.

Moderated by renowned Specialist Dermatologist Dr Ryan De Cruz, CUCF 2025 brought together world-class speakers and the very best in aesthetic technology. Our team gained valuable insights into how we can further enhance outcomes for our patients across Geelong and Ballarat ASFB Clinics, by applying the latest techniques and evidence based protocols.

Events like CUCF 2025 are not only an opportunity to stay up to date with industry advancements, but a vital part of ensuring our patients receive safe, effective, and cutting-edge treatment options. Attending this year’s forum has strengthened our commitment to remaining at the forefront of aesthetic medicine. By investing in ongoing education and the latest technologies, we’re able to continue delivering customised, results-driven treatment plans tailored to each patient’s skin journey.

Whilst the forum was a jam packed with learning, team ASFB also had some fun along the way – connecting with peers, sharing insights, and celebrating what we all bring to this dynamic industry.

Thanks to the amazing team at Cutera for hosting a first-class event.
