ULTRAFORMER III-HIFU
What is HIFU-ULTRAFORMER III?
ULTRAFORMER III-HIFU is short for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound.
HIFU target various layers of your skin, it is a medical procedure that allows the deepest penetration of energy for face lifting and skin tightening. HIFU can provide the same lifting and tightening effect as surgical facelift without having to undergo any surgery! ULTRAFORMER III-HIFU is short for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. It is commonly performed for non-surgical face lifting and skin tightening to achieve a face contouring, slimming and V shape. It has an immediate tightening effect by contracting the collagen fibres that support your skin. Most importantly, Ultraformer III-HIFU treatment stimulates long-term production of new, stronger collagen, helping to lift and tighten sagging skin and fill out wrinkles, without downtime.
Consistent Clinical Results: Patients can notice immediate results with progressive improvement up to 90 days post-treatment for peak results. These results can be maintained from 12-24 months afterwards.

HOW HIFU - ULTRAFORMER WORKS ?
HOW ULTRAFORMER III-HIFU TREATMENT WORKS ?
Below the surface (epidermis), your skin is made up of three important layers: the superficial dermis, the deeper dermis and the SMAS layer, the ‘infrastructure’ layer that connects your skin to the muscular structures below. With age, the building blocks of supple, youthful skin (collagen, elastic fibres and a gel-like substance called the extrafibrillar matrix) lose their strength and elasticity and the SMAS layer loses its ability to support your skin. The result is loose, sagging
and wrinkled skin. Ultraformer treatment tackles sagging skin at all three levels. Ultraformer works with geometric precision. Micro-Focused Ultrasound sends bursts of finely tuned ultrasound energy to precise depths to stimulate regeneration. The target tissues are heated to the specific temperature required to induce ‘thermal injury’, which causes the collagen to contract, and then, over time, to produce new and stronger collagen. Ultraformer’s Exact Focusing Technology ensures that the right depth is always targeted. Treatment benefits build gradually over a period of a few months, as the production of new collagen provides a more youthful support structure for your skin. You can expect to experience a tighter, more toned skin, along with some reversal of sagging in the treated areas.
Benefits of ULTRAFORMER III-HIFU Face lift
One benefit of the HIFU Facelifty treatment is its non-invasive nature with minimal downtime. You can expect various skin benefits from HIFU which includes firmer, tighter skin, smooths out fine line wrinkles and a more defined face shape.

What Areas does HIFU Treat? HIFU - Ultraformer treatment is ideal for areas that are particularly prone to sagging skin, such as the cheeks and jowls, the eyebrow area, the nasolabial lines (from the nose to the corners of your mouth), and the sub-mental zone (the area under your chin). However, it can also be used very effectively for skin tightening on problem areas of different parts of the body.
Is HIFU Treatment Painful? HIFU is a comfortable procedure. Some might feel a mild ache along the jawline and cheek bone. Most patients find it bearable and resume normal activities right after the treatment.
How many shots of HIFU is required? The number of shots required varies for each patient, it depends on the clients skin condition like how severe is the sagging and what is the size of your face etc.
You can expect to experience two phases of Ultraformer results:
• You will feel an immediate tightening of your skin in the treated area, as the heat from the
Micro-Focused Ultrasound contracts the network of collagen fibres. The strands of protein that
make up collagen shrink when exposed to the levels of heat used in Ultraformer treatment.
• Micro-Focused Ultrasound also stimulates other cells, called Fibroblasts, to manufacture new,
stronger collagen. This gradually develops over a period of months. The result is a gradual lifting
of the skin in the treated area, as the support structures fill out.
Are the results long-lasting?
Ultraformer benefits will peak between six and nine months after treatment. The new collagen produced will be stronger, and its structure more ‘youthful’ than previously. This in turn makes your skin stronger and better supported, helping to reverse the effects of ageing on your skin. A regular program of treatment every 6 to 12 months will maintain your results, and is likely also to give you some additional improvement after each subsequent treatment.
• The degree of heat required for optimal results will probably cause some discomfort as the
ultrasound energy is delivered. Your practitioner will advise a plan to optimise your comfort
during the procedure. This may include medication to reduce the discomfort.
• Ultraformer treatment is highly efficient. For example, a treatment for the full face and neck will
last approximately 45 minutes.
• Because Ultraformer is a non-invasive treatment, you can expect to be able to return to your
normal routine right away.
• Your skin may appear red for a few hours after Ultraformer treatment.
• You may experience slight swelling, tingling or tenderness for a few days after treatment. Rarely,
some patients may experience temporary bruising, welts or numbness.
• There is a slight risk of a burn to the skin, which may or may not lead to scarring. Both a burn
and any scarring will respond to medical treatment.
• Temporary nerve inflammation will resolve in a few days or weeks.
• If a motor nerve has become inflamed, you might experience some temporary local muscle
weakness. There could be some temporary numbness if a sensory nerve has become inflamed.
However, due to Ultraformer’s precision engineering, it is highly unlikely that either of these
complications will occur
Because Ultraformer’s Micro-Focused Ultrasound is specifically designed to treat the lower,
foundational, support structures of the skin, it does not treat surface problems such as:
• Sun damaged skin
• Pigmentation
• Rosacea, blue or red facial veins or capillaries
• Acne or acne scarring
Your practitioner will advise you on the best treatment for the above conditions.
