Non-Invasive Treatment Without Incisions
Noticeable Firming With Minimal Downtime
Supports Collagen Remodeling for Smoother-Looking Skin
Six Treatment Depths for Face and Body
ULTRAFORMER III is a non-invasive HIFU skin tightening treatment that requires no incisions.
It can be used for full-face lifting and firming as well as selected areas of the body, offering a treatment option for people seeking gradual, natural-looking improvement.
HIFU delivers focused ultrasound energy to precise tissue depths. Thermal points of approximately 60–75°C stimulate contraction in lax tissue and support collagen remodeling for a firmer appearance.
Multiple cartridge depths can target the superficial skin, dermis, SMAS, and subcutaneous layers. Because there are no incisions, downtime is generally limited, and makeup can often be applied soon after treatment, depending on individual skin response.

Using 2.0 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm cartridges, focused ultrasound energy reaches the facial dermis and SMAS. This supports collagen remodeling, firms lax skin, and helps improve skin density, elasticity, and facial definition.
The 6.0 mm and 9.0 mm cartridges convert high-intensity ultrasound into thermal energy within deeper subcutaneous tissue. This can support tissue contraction and collagen remodeling to improve firmness and contour selected treatment areas.
The 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm cartridges provide multi-depth lifting, while the 2.0 mm mini cartridge is designed for delicate facial areas such as around the eyes. Focused ultrasound energy targets the dermis and SMAS to support collagen production, firmness, and elasticity.
The 6.0 mm and 9.0 mm cartridges deliver energy to deeper subcutaneous layers. They may be used to address laxity under the chin and improve firmness in areas such as the abdomen and thighs.

Some people notice initial firming soon after treatment, while collagen remodeling generally develops over the next 1–3 months. Duration varies with skin condition, aging, and lifestyle. Depending on your response and goals, your physician may recommend a maintenance treatment after about six months.
Some HIFU systems offer two or three treatment depths. ULTRAFORMER III provides six cartridge depths, allowing physicians to adapt treatment for delicate areas around the eyes, the cheeks, jawline, under the chin, and selected body areas. The most suitable device and settings depend on an in-person assessment.
HIFU forms focused thermal points at selected depths. ULTRAFORMER III offers 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.5, 6.0, and 9.0 mm cartridges. Radiofrequency devices generally heat a broader volume of tissue through the skin. Treatment depth, temperature, and sensation vary by device and setting, so a physician should recommend the appropriate option after assessing your skin and goals.
The number of lines depends on the treatment area, degree of laxity, tissue depth, and individual anatomy. Treatment quality is not determined by line count alone. Your physician will assess your face or body and plan the distribution, depth, and energy settings accordingly.
Possible factors include insufficient coverage or line count, energy settings that are too low, inappropriate cartridge depth, or unverified equipment and cartridges. Individual response also varies, and collagen remodeling takes time. If you are concerned about your progress, arrange a follow-up assessment with the treating clinic.
People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have certain autoimmune or immune conditions, have implants in the treatment area, or have active allergy, inflammation, or infection require medical evaluation and may not be suitable. Tell your physician about your medical history, medications, and any implanted devices before treatment.
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or itching can occur and often improves within 3–7 days. Keep the treated area moisturized, use sunscreen, and avoid scratching or rubbing it. For about one week, avoid excessive heat, saunas, steam rooms, and swimming, or follow the specific instructions given by your clinic.
All medical treatments involve risk. Temporary bruising, redness, swelling, tenderness, numbness, or nerve-related symptoms may occur. Choose a qualified physician and verified equipment, discuss potential risks before treatment, and follow aftercare instructions. Contact the clinic promptly if symptoms are severe, worsen, or persist.
