There’s a new baby in the Glenrose Beauty Gallery house! We’re very proud to announce the arrival of the Ulfit HIFU, for customised non-invasive body and face contouring.
It’s designed specifically for lifting and tightening loose skin, so perfect for those who are seeking a bit of a lift, but aren’t keen to commit to needles or full facelifts just yet. Think jowl lifts/jawline contouring, neck lines and wrinkles, drooping eyebrows and eye lifts, double chins and body contouring.
How does Ulfit work?
Ulfit uses two state-of-the-art technologies, Micro Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) and Macro Focused Circular Ultrasound (FMCU), for skin laxity and body contouring treatments.
The Ulfit technology delivers High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) at 65-75ºC into the targeted layers of the dermis, prompting the production of new collagen and a younger looking you. The Ulfit also utilises Macro Focused Circular Ultrasound (MFCU) to target stubborn fat cells in certain parts of the body.
What body parts can be treated?
Ulfit can be used on problem areas on the face and body to contour and slim. It is a non-surgical treatment, with no downtime – meaning immediate, visible results. (Our favourite.) Facially, forehead, eyebrows, periorbital, jowl lines, double chin and neck wrinkles are all excellent candidates. Moving down, great results can be achieved on the chest, abdomen, outer thighs, knees, bra lines, arms, flanks, below buttocks and inner thighs.
What can I expect during the treatment?
Ulfit is equipped with rapid shot movement, making it precise and efficient, targeting the layers of skin below the surface. The treatment will feel warm, with a slight vibration and tingling sensation. Treatments take around 25-45 minutes, depending on which areas are being treated.
What about afterwards?
Your skin may appear red after the treatment, but this subsides in a few hours. Results can be seen after just one treatment – hurrah! – but the most visible results will be seen between 8-12 weeks post treatment and will continue to improve over the next 6 months.

We’re super excited to announce a brand new machine to add to our making-you-look-and-feel-amazing arsenal. Drumroll please… Secret RF is here!
Secret RF is a radio frequency (that’s what the RF stands for) fractional microneedling system that delivers tailored energy to improve fine lines, wrinkles and scars from the inside out.
What is Secret RF fractional microneedling?
Using an array of very fine sterilised needles to create microscopic wounds at various predetermined depths in the dermis, without affecting the epidermis, Secret RF is ideal for skin tightening, wrinkle and pore size reduction, acne and acne scar treatments.
These microscopic wounds stimulate new collagen production and subsequent dermal thickening, ideal for plumping of wrinkles and acne scarring and general youthful glow. And we’re here for it.
Who can benefit from microneedling?
If you look in the mirror and see:
- Loose skin and wrinkles on the face, around eyes, the cheeks, neck and decolletage;
- Enlarged pores, facial veins, rosacea and flushing;
- Local areas of scarring; and/or
- Acne and acne scarring…
Then Secret RF is for you. Best of all, its effects are long lasting. Collagen production and remodelling occurs four to six weeks after your treatment, and actually continues for three months afterwards. Skin tone and texture will improve, pigmentation can lighten and you can expect to see a smoothing of wrinkles. Most people will benefit from between three to six treatments, but with almost zero downtime, it is the holy grail of results: surgery free, enduring results for a smoother, more glowing you.
Contact the team now to experience it for yourself.

A bit about Dr Sarah Freilich…
“I’ve worked in the industry for 15 years. I became interested in cosmetic injectables because I loved that a minimally invasive procedure could make women feel fresher, less tired and better about themselves without going under the knife. I also felt there was a need for more people in the industry to do cosmetic injectables in a soft, subtle way without the approach that ‘bigger is better’. From a personal perspective, it’s an industry that plays to my strengths – I have a steady hand!”
Most popular treatment
“The most popular treatment is probably still botulinum toxin injections. We aren’t allowed to name the brands due to TGA rules, but reducing frowns and crow’s feet is still the most popular request I get.”
Dr Sarah Freilich’s favourite treatment
“I love an immediate result, and with dermal fillers you get that instant gratification – botulinum toxin takes a few days to work. My favourite treatment is cheek fillers, as it provides an instant lift to the lower face; a little bit of projection along the cheekbone giving radiance straight away.
What she gets done herself:
“‘A shoemaker’s son always goes barefoot’; likewise, I don’t do my own injectables as much as I’d like to. I certainly have botulinum toxin in my crow’s feet and frown lines, but wear a fringe so don’t do my forehead. I also pop some dermal filler into my cheeks to give me a bit of lift. I have had filler in my lips before but don’t like to overdo it because I’m a big fan of the natural, fresh look.
Exciting developments in the industry
Right now I’m pretty pumped about the new dermal filler I’ve been using which has an added antioxidant in it. That’s an exciting development to dermal fillers! I’m also excited about using polydioxonone threads (PDO threads). They’re minimally invasive and take a bit of time to see the full effects but make the skin more taut and firmer, with minimal downtime.
To experience first hand the steady hands and magic fingers of Dr Sarah Freilich, book in for your next injectable with our resident cosmetic doctor.

Heaters, hot showers, biting winds – your skin takes a battering during the colder months, which means it may look quite different too. A winter skin care change-up is required. Often skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, dry and chapped lips and acne flare up when the days get shorter, and it can feel like a beauty sucker punch after the glowy gorgeous skin you flaunted last summer.
Unfortunately, that skincare routine you had nailed down won’t be serving you so well now that the weather’s turned. Lightweight serums and moisturisers are out; time to bring in creamy cleansers, face oils and rich, nourishing creams – as well as hydrating, vitamin infused facials and treatments perfect to repair the sun’s damage and shore up your skin against the winter, um, damage.
Cut down on shower time and temperature
While winter weather might sound like the optimal time for a long, hot bath, try to resist the urge. Prolonged contact with hot water can strip the skin of its natural moisture, leaving you even drier than you were before. Take brief lukewarm showers once per day, and immediately afterwards, while your skin is damp, apply rich moisturisers to lock in hydration. You should use enough to leave the skin feeling well hydrated, which means you may need to apply more than you do in summer months.
Switch from lotion-based moisturiser to a cream
The cardinal rule of winter skincare is keeping skin hydrated. A lighter lotion may have been enough to satisfy your skin in summer, but that’s not an extended guarantee into colder weather. Humectants (such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin) are low molecular weight substances that extract water from the air and into the skin. Emollients usually come in the form of creams and lotions that help in skin barrier function. And occlusives are oils and waxes that form a layer on the skin and physically block water from escaping. A great skincare routine involves all three, leading us to…
Layer your skincare
Think of your skincare application like outerwear for your skin: Just like you need to layer your clothing to keep your body warm in the cooler months, your skin needs the same to prevent overdrying. A good rule of thumb is to layer lightest to heaviest (serums first, facial oils second, moisturiser third). Some hot ingredients you should look out for in the cold are ceramides, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, bakuchiol and botanical oils. When used in conjunction, they can soothe inflammation, restore hydration and strengthen the skin barrier. And don’t forget the SPF, which yes, you do need during winter.
Repair sun damage
The absolute best time to address any pigmentation and sun damage is now, nailing those sunspots, freckles and melasma moustache before our supersonic sun has the chance to dial them back up. Cosmelan Depigmenting is a professional depigmentation method which has an intensive corrective effect on skin hyperpigmentation whilst regulating the overproduction of melanin in the melanocytes, inhibiting, and controlling the appearance of new dark spots. As it’s a peel treatment, your skin is extra sensitive to sunlight, which means slathering on the SPF50, and staying out of the sun – much easier to do this time of year than when the pool and pina colada crew are calling.
Get some light
Omnilux light therapy is a two-trick pony. Not only does all that delicious light plump and rehydrates tired, knackered skin, studies show red light can also help you sleep. The lack of natural light (shorter days, longer nights) in the winter means our circadian rhythms become out of whack, and we tend to need more, good quality sleep.
Use a sleep mask
Not that we needed any excuse to apply a face mask, but if you haven’t started yet, winter is the best time to do it. The world of skincare masks is pretty extensive, but don’t sleep—or do—on overnight masks. Designed to be the final step of your nighttime skin regimen, overnight masks help lock in all those serums, creams, and oils that were applied before.
Studies show that sleep is the most important time for cell reparation, and nightly regimens help skin restore, repair and rejuvenate from daily damage. Hydropeptide Hydro-Lock Sleep Mask blankets the contours of skin with a layer of intense, restorative hydration. Luxe ingredients like HydrO18 activated water, licorice root and royal jelly peptides go to work restoring balance and radiance to the skin while you sleep. Perfect for dry, dehydrated, dull skin – basically all of us right now.

We may all be bundled up in coats and boots, but laser hair removal is best considered in the winter months. Being smooth and razor free is the ultimate summer accessory, making pulling on those cut-off shorts or two-piece a no-brainer.
Laser hair removal has suffered a bad reputation in the past: painful, short term, ineffective for blondes… no longer. Introducing the Candela GentleMax Pro.
The Candela GentleMax Pro – the industry gold standard
The GentleMax Pro is a single consolidated system that delivers a range of treatments. The dual wavelength laser platform combines the fastest and most powerful 755 nm Alexandrite laser with the 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser. Impressed? We are. Basically, what it means is a wavelength of high energy light emitted by the laser is converted to heat energy and this damages the specific target area – in this case, hair. It can treat the whole body, from sensitive areas on the face such as upper lip and chin, to shoulders, back, stomach, underarm and of course bikini lines and legs.
What can I expect from laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal needs multiple sessions (3 to 6 sessions or more) for permanent hair removal. The number of sessions depends on the area of the body being treated, skin colour, coarseness of hair, underlying conditions such as polycystic ovaries and sex.
It’s generally recommended waiting from three to eight weeks between laser sessions for hair removal. Depending on the area, the skin will remain completely clean and smooth for around 6 to 8 weeks after treatment; it is time for the next session when fine hairs start to grow again.
Glenrose Beauty is offering 50% off laser hair removal when you buy six or more sessions. Start your hair free journey today.

So many cosmetic procedures, like microneedling, are non-invasive, require no downtime and deliver such impressive results that it’s hard to find a reason not to try them.
Microneedling, or skin needling, is a procedure that uses tiny needles to puncture the skin. Sounds scary, but it’s not. If you’ve ever had acupuncture you’ll know that super fine needles mean hardly any pain at all. And the benefits are so glowy, it’s all worth it.
Why try microneedling?
Well, for two reasons: Firstly, the pinpricks create mini ‘injuries’ on the skin, which cause your body to kickstart the skin’s healing mode. In technical terms, this leads to the generation of growth factors which stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the papillary layer of the dermis. In layman’s terms, this means plumper, more youthful skin. Secondly, those ‘holes’ made by the needles create micro-channels that allow your skin care formulas to absorb into the skin more effectively and penetrate more deeply. Read: your skin care works better, faster.
Skin needling results
Microneedling is no one-trick pony. It produces similar results to dermabrasion, lasers and deep chemical peels, but is much less invasive. Also, because skin needling stimulates the production of collagen, it helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines (pores, too), as well as improves skin sagging.
Then there’s its ability to heal skin, which means it can help fade scars including acne scarring and stretch marks, while improving overall skin texture.
What you can expect on the day
At the start of a microneedling treatment, a numbing cream is applied to the skin. This reduces the pain felt, although you will still experience some mild discomfort. Don’t worry, it’s definitely tolerable.
Next, the practitioner will work a Dermapen over the face to pierce tiny holes in the skin’s surface. The needles used are so fine and only puncture the outermost layers of skin, so bleeding is rare (but completely fine, should it occur). It only takes about 30 minutes to microneedle the whole face.
Post-treatment, you will very likely experience redness, similar to moderate sunburn, but this usually subsides within 24 hours. You will also experience skin tightness and mild sensitivity to touch. This will diminish greatly after a few hours following treatments and within the next 48 hours your skin will be completely healed. You may feel like going makeup-free for a while after your treatment – a) because it will give your skin a chance to breathe and heal, and reduces the risk of irritation if your skin is feeling a little sensitive, and b) once the benefits of microneedling kick in, your skin will look all glowy and bright that you won’t want to hide under a veil of foundation.
How much does it cost?
Not as much as you think, thanks to our awesome Mother’s Day offer – book in three needling sessions ($299 each), and get three free light sessions. Or buy a $150 or more gift voucher for Mum, and receive a free light voucher! Contact us today to find out more.
