ULTRAFORMER 3 HIFU Face Lift

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a safe, non-invasive face lifting technique that not only corrects skin sagging but also removes unwanted facial fats including double chin. The HIFU treatment uses ultrasound energy to penetrate the deepest layers of the skin and induce collagen production for a natural face lift effect. HIFU is currently the most commonly performed anti-aging alternative for surgical facelifts.

FAQ

The Ultraformer 3 is engineered to target skin and tissue aging and other common skin concerns. The following are the main benefits of the Ultraformer 3:

  • Tightens loose and sagging skin
  • Eliminates fat cells
  • Contours the face for a V-shaped outline
  • Removes fine lines and wrinkles
  • Evens out skin folds
  • Improves skin elasticity
  • Targets other signs of aging
  • No downtime
  • Safe, non-invasive

The technology of Ultraformer 3 is powered by Micro and Macro Focused Ultrasound (MMFU), which delivers accurate pulses of ultrasound energy into specific skin areas. These beams do not affect healthy layers of tissues during treatment and are only focused on treating areas of concern. The ultrasound energy penetrates the layers of the skin to stimulate natural healing processes, increase collagen production, and remove stubborn fat cells from the different parts of the body. The result is a smooth, tight, and young-looking skin.

The Ultraformer 3 can be used to resolve skin and tissue concerns in the different regions of the face and body. The following are the targets of Ultraformer 3:

  • Sagging cheeks
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Double chin
  • Forehead wrinkles
  • Frown lines
  • Fine lines around the eyes
  • Crow’s feet
  • Laugh lines (marionette lines)
  • Lip lines
  • Neck folds
  • Axilla folds
  • Fat folds in the abdomen, flanks, and thighs

Ultraformer 3 is uniquely engineered with cartridges that deliver ultrasound beams to the layers of the skin. Upon your consultation, your doctor will examine your skin and determine the specific cartridge settings that are suitable for your skin concern. Your doctor thus creates a customized treatment plan that will efficiently rejuvenate and transform your skin.

HIFU treatment with Ultraformer 3 is safe, non-invasive, and has no downtime. This procedure is almost painless and does not require anesthesia. During the treatment proper, the exact thickness and boundaries of the treatment area will be marked. A sufficient amount of ultrasound gel will then be applied onto your skin. The specific cartridge will then be placed in contact with your skin. You may experience slight discomfort or minimal ache as the warm pulses are delivered by the cartridges. We apply our premium numbing cream onto the patient’s skin to ease any discomfort from the procedure.

Full face usually requires 800 -1000 shots. It varies from patient to patient depending on the size of the face and degree of severity of jowls and sagging.

Some patients experience minimal redness and swelling on the treatment areas, but these side effects resolve in a few hours to a few days. Temporary bruising and numbness on the treatment areas were also noted in some patients, but these side effects resolve spontaneously within 2-4 weeks and do not require any further treatment.

The Ultraformer 3 HIFU treatment requires no incisions, injections, nor surgeries. This procedure has no downtime, and you can resume to your normal activities after the treatment. The tightening and contouring effects are already noticeable even after just a single treatment.
