Ultraformer III is an advanced ultrasound treatment used for non-surgical skin tightening and lifting.
By delivering focused ultrasound energy beneath the surface of the skin, the treatment stimulates collagen production within key support layers. Over time, this can improve skin firmness, contour, and definition without surgery or significant downtime.
Common treatment concerns include:-
– Jawline softening
– Loss of lower face definition
– Loose skin around the neck and chin
– Mild to moderate skin laxity
– Fine lines and textural changes
Selected body areas, including the abdomen, arms, and back, can also be treated.
Rather than treating the surface of the skin, Ultraformer III targets deeper support structures using Micro & Macro Focused Ultrasound (MMFU) technology.
The controlled ultrasound energy stimulates the body’s natural collagen response, encouraging tissue remodelling and strengthening underlying support over time.
Results develop gradually as new collagen is produced, with many patients noticing ongoing improvement in the months following treatment.
Comparable to utilising sunlight and reflecting it through a magnifying glass to deliver a beam, the ULTRAFORMER III treatment delivers ultrasound energy into the target region of the skin, stimulating and formulating collagen regeneration. The precision in delivery of a high density of power, triggers neo-collagenesis naturally within the body.
Stubborn fat cells are difficult to burn off even through strenuous exercises and extensive weight loss regimens.
The ULTRAFORMER III treatment provides both non-invasive and innovative solutions without including side effects or damage to skin.
Treatment recommendations are personalised based on the condition of the skin, treatment area, and desired outcome.
Many patients begin considering treatment when they notice subtle changes in facial definition or skin firmness that weren’t there a few years ago.
Ultraformer III may be suitable for those experiencing:-
– Early skin laxity
– Reduced definition
– Mild sagging
– Changes in skin firmness over time
It is often chosen by patients looking for a non-surgical option to improve skin support and contour, particularly when they are not ready for more invasive procedures.
A consultation will help determine whether Ultraformer III is appropriate for your concerns and
No surgery or lengthy recovery periods.
Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
Results develop gradually as collagen production increases.
Results can continue improving for months and may last 12 months or longer.
Ultraformer III is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment that uses focused ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production beneath the skin.
It is commonly used to improve skin firmness, definition, and contouring around the face, jawline, neck, and under the chin. It can also be used on selected areas of the body where skin laxity is a concern.
Results develop gradually as collagen production increases over time.
Ultraformer III is commonly used to treat:-
A consultation will help determine whether Ultraformer III is appropriate for your concerns and treatment goals.
Ultraformer III uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver energy into deeper support layers beneath the skin.
This stimulates collagen production and tissue remodelling, helping to lift, tighten, and support the skin over time without surgery or significant downtime.
Unlike treatments that work primarily on the skin surface, Ultraformer III targets deeper structural layers while leaving the outer skin intact.
Ultraformer III and Botox® are designed to treat different concerns.
Ultraformer III is primarily used to improve skin firmness, lift, and contour by stimulating collagen production beneath the skin. It is often chosen by patients concerned about skin laxity around the jawline, neck, and lower face.
Botox® works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles and is commonly used to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines and crow’s feet.
Some patients may be suitable for one treatment, while others may benefit from a combination approach. Your clinician will discuss the options most appropriate for your concerns during your consultation.
Every patient’s skin, concerns, and goals are different.
Your consultation allows us to assess your skin, discuss what you’re hoping to achieve, and determine whether Ultraformer III is likely to provide the outcome you’re looking for.
If another treatment is more appropriate, we’ll discuss that with you as well.
Before treatment, your skin will be cleansed and clinical photographs may be taken. A topical anaesthetic can be applied if appropriate.
During treatment, you may feel brief periods of warmth, tingling, or discomfort as the ultrasound energy is delivered. The experience varies between individuals and treatment areas.
Most patients are able to return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
Treatment time varies depending on the area being treated.
Most appointments take between 30 and 90 minutes, although smaller areas may be completed more quickly.
Many patients achieve good results with a single treatment.
Results typically continue developing over the first 12 weeks and may continue improving for up to six months. Results can last 12 months or longer for many patients.
Patients with more advanced skin laxity may benefit from additional treatments. Your treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation.
Some patients notice an improvement shortly after treatment, however the best results are typically seen around 12 weeks as collagen production increases.
Results often continue improving over the following months and can last for 12 months or longer.
There is very little preparation required.
We recommend men are clean shaven on the day of treatment. Any makeup will be removed prior to treatment.
Your clinician will discuss any additional preparation requirements during your consultation.
Ultraformer III is generally suitable for patients experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity associated with ageing or sun damage.
A consultation is required to assess suitability and determine whether Ultraformer III is the most appropriate treatment for your concerns.
Ultraformer III is generally well tolerated, however temporary side effects can occur.
These may include:-
Most side effects are mild and resolve without intervention.
Your clinician will discuss potential risks and side effects with you before treatment.
Treatment costs vary depending on the area being treated and the treatment plan recommended.
Pricing will be discussed during your consultation and tailored to your individual goals and treatment areas.
