Ultraformer III is a non-surgical system in which is used for skin lifting, tightening as well as contouring. The device transfers ultrasound energy into multiple layers of skin by 3 multi-depth cartridges.

Well known as HIFU, High Intensity Focused Ultrasound is a lunch-time facelifting that is performed non-surgically with merely ultrasound energy. This procedure triggers collagen renewal for a tighter and younger complexion. The high-frequency beams used by HIFU treatment allow the device to focus below the skin's surface, causing no damages to the upper layers. Skin problems such as wrinkles, fine lines, saggy skin, enlarged pores, excess fat, etc. can be handled by this procedure.

HIFU leaves no scarring, incisions, and no recovery or downtime required.

The focused ultrasound devices usually work to emit the same ultrasound of normal echography. The device used at our affiliated clinic, Ultraformer III, is the newest of the focused-ultrasound family (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound – HIFU).

The waves are more focused and concentrated at a single point under your skin's surface. Different cartridges are designed to create focus points at a specifically defined depth.

There are three cartridges: the first cartridge works in the deep layer underneath the skin, focusing on the layer where deep facial muscles and fascias are. The second cartridge focuses on the point immediately under the skin, whereas the third cartridge works with the skin surface.
The procedure can at times give occasionally uncomfortable experience, thus numbing cream may be applied prior to the treatment.

During the procedure, the focused ultrasound waves deliver energy directly within the skin layer to cause a shrinking effect. After inflammation and fibroplasia is caused, new collagen will be stimulated to form in the treated area. Through the collagen regenerating process, wrinkles are gradually eliminated by both firming and tightening of the skin.

Noticeable improvement in fine lines, wrinkles, and facial contouring can be observed immediately after the treatment and the effect would continue to make further improvements within 6 weeks after the treatment.

Moreover, Ultraformer III is an excellent procedure for a post-surgical facelift to maintain the lift and treat scarring and numbness.
