Ultraformer (HIFU)

"The Ultraformer III works with focused Ultrasound, which is in different Skin Levels small precise Injuries sets, around the natural Self-regeneration at stimulateThrough the Treatment can a Skin tightening or a general Skin rejuvenation Achieves become. Suitable Regions for the Treatment are the whole face, the Neck and the Cleavage. With a special Handpiece can man moreover at Chin area with a special applikator Fat melt down and is therefore used to treat the double chin. The Ultraformer III can via the whole Year deployed become and is at Application low pain for the Patients.”

How it works

Ultraformer (HIFU) Mode of action

The Ultraformer III works with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)to unfold its effect. This advanced Ultrasound device-technology enables targeted stimulation of skin layers between 1.5 and 6.0 mm deep. The precise placement of the ultrasound focus points ensures even energy delivery.

During the treatment, the high-intensity focused ultrasound heats the tissue to temperatures of 65-75°C. This controlled heating has the effect of stimulating the body's own collagen and stimulating the skin's natural healing process, resulting in Rejuvenation contributes. Collagen is a structural protein that is responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin. Collagen renewal and collagen remodeling tightens the skin and reduces wrinkles, resulting in an improved overall appearance. Radiance leads.

It is worth noting that the Ultraformer III is often associated with the Ultherapy brand name from Ulthera, although they are different device manufacturers. However, the mode of action of these technologies is comparable, as both use high-intensity focused ultrasound to achieve skin tightening and collagen renewal.

The precise and controlled application of the Ultraformer III enables professionals to adapt the treatment to the individual needs of each patient. This enables a customized solution for Skin rejuvenation and tightening to achieve a natural and youthful appearance.

Treatment options

Ultraformer (HIFU) treatment options

The Ultraformer III HIFU offers various treatment options to treat different skin problems and achieve the desired aesthetic results. Some of the most common applications are listed below:

Skin tightening and wrinkle reduction

  • The Ultraformer III is effective in treating sagging skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Wrinkles on the face and body. The high-intensity focused ultrasound heats the tissue in the deeper layers of the skin, which stimulates collagen production. The resulting collagen remodeling leads to a tightening and firming of the skin, significantly reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Contouring and fat reduction

  • The Ultraformer III can also be used to treat areas of the body for improved body contour and a targeted Fat reduction to achieve. The ultrasound energy of the device can be used to destroy fat cells in specific areas without damaging the surrounding tissue. This enables a targeted reduction of unwanted fat deposits, for example on the stomach, thighs or hips.

Double chin correction

  • A common application of the Ultraformer III is the treatment of the double chin. The targeted use of high-intensity focused ultrasound can reduce fatty tissue in the chin area and tighten the skin. This results in a more defined chin line and an improved profile.
Procedure

Ultraformer (HIFU) Sequence

The Ultraformer III treatment procedure is usually straightforward and does not require an extended recovery period. Here is an overview of the typical procedure:

Preparation

  • Prior to treatment, a personal consultation with a specialized doctor takes place. Here, the individual needs and treatment goals are discussed, and any contraindications or risks are clarified. Depending on the area and need, an anesthetic cream can be applied or a painkiller in drop form can be offered to minimize possible discomfort during treatment.

Implementation

  • During treatment, the Ultraformer III is placed on the areas of the skin to be treated. The high-intensity focused ultrasound is delivered, targeting the desired depths in the skin. The ultrasound energy stimulates collagen production and results in tightening and firming of the skin.

Aftercare

  • After the treatment, the patient can resume usual activities immediately, as the skin is not damaged. There may be slight redness or swelling,
  • We recommend this treatment with Cleresca Rejuvenation or Healite and to counteract sagging with additional Profhilo injections.
Frequently asked questions

Ultraformer (HIFU) Frequently asked questions

How long does it take until I see results?

Results from Ultraformer treatments can vary depending on individual factors such as skin condition, treatment area and number of sessions. Some people notice improvements immediately, while others notice gradual changes over several weeks as the production of types I and III collagen is stimulated. Patience is important as the synthesis of these collagen types takes time.

Are the results permanent or will I need maintenance treatments in the future?

The durability of the results depends on various factors, including individual skin conditions and lifestyle habits. Ultraformer treatments aim for long-lasting results. Regular maintenance treatments once a year are recommended.

Do I need a break from work?

In most cases, an Ultraformer treatment does not require time off work as the outer skin remains unharmed. Many people return to their normal activities immediately or shortly after treatment. However, there may be some temporary redness, swelling or slight discomfort. The individual reaction to the treatment varies.
