Ultraformer III: Non-Surgical Face Lifting for a Slimmer, Firmer Face, Say Goodbye to Sagging as Results Keep Building the More You Do

What Is Ultraformer III?

Ultraformer III is a skin-lifting technology that uses highly concentrated, precisely targeted ultrasound (Micro Focused Ultrasound: MFU) to lift and firm the skin and stimulate collagen.
It helps slim the cheeks, reduce a double chin, soften wrinkles and leave the skin taut and firm. It works by delivering ultrasound waves into the layers beneath the skin
to generate heat, causing the tissue to contract and tightening the upper layers of skin, all without surgery.
Ultraformer III is regarded as the best lifting device second only to Ulthera, able to deliver energy deep into the SMAS layer,
the same layer addressed in a surgical facelift. During treatment the energy stays stable and even and does not affect the upper layers of skin.
It is highly safe, leaves no wound and lets you return to daily life as normal, with no downtime.

‍

How Ultraformer III Works 

1. It delivers ultrasound energy beneath the skin at the appropriate depth, for example 1.5 mm / 3.0 mm / 4.5 mm, so the energy reaches exactly the layer that needs treatment. 
2. At the focus point the energy converts to heat at 65-70 degrees Celsius over a diameter of 0.5 millimetres, causing the SMAS layer to contract so that sagging skin is lifted and tightened,
   with 20% of the result visible immediately.
3. It stimulates long-term production of collagen and elastin. After treatment the skin gradually and continuously builds new collagen, becoming firmer, more elastic and naturally tighter over a period of 2-3 months, without affecting the surrounding skin.

Ultraformer III Transducer Depths

Ultraformer III has three transducers in total, designed to lift the skin and treat every layer, from the superficial skin down to the SMAS layer. Each transducer works as follows:

1. 1.5 mm transducer: used on the superficial layer to soften fine lines and uneven texture; suitable for the eye area, forehead or skin that is not very saggy.
2. 3.0 mm transducer: used on the deeper layer to reduce excess fat, firm the face and reduce sagging; suitable for the cheeks, facial contour and jawline.
3. 4.5 mm transducer: used on the SMAS layer (the muscle layer), the same layer as a surgical facelift, to lift sagging skin such as a double chin and the neck and to define the facial contour more sharply.

‍

What Can Ultraformer III Help With? 

• Defines the facial contour more clearly and lifts sagging jowls and a loose jawline, making the face look slimmer.
• Makes the skin of the face, neck and any treated area of the body look naturally tighter.
• Softens early to moderate wrinkles, such as crow's feet and nasolabial folds.
• Reduces a double chin and under-chin fullness, firming the area under the jaw so the face looks more balanced.
• Addresses drooping brows and sagging eyelids.
• Stimulates collagen and elastin production, leaving the skin firmer, smoother and more elastic
  over the long term.

‍

Which Areas Can Ultraformer III Lift?

Ultraformer III can be used on both the face and the body, focusing on lifting sagging skin and stimulating collagen precisely in each area. The most commonly treated areas are:

• The face, such as the cheeks, facial contour and nasolabial folds.
• Around and under the eyes, to soften wrinkles and sagging eyelids.
• The double chin and neck, to define the contour and reduce a double chin.
• The upper arms, to firm sagging arm skin.
• The thighs, to make the skin tighter and firmer.
• The abdomen, to break down fat and lift the abdominal skin for a smoother look, leaving the skin tighter after treatment. 

The doctor assesses your skin and chooses the transducer depth and the number of lines to suit each area, for the clearest and safest results.

Areas to Avoid With Ultraformer III

• Avoid areas over thin bone and near joints, such as the lower jawbone or the wrist.
• Avoid areas with severe skin conditions, such as severe psoriasis, severe allergic rashes or inflamed skin.
• Avoid areas with fresh wounds or recent surgical sites, such as open wounds, burns or surgical incisions.
• Avoid areas with abscesses, pus or skin infections.

‍

How Many Shots of Ultraformer III Are Needed to See Results?

A shot is the unit used to count how many times the energy is delivered. The number of shots depends on the area being treated and each person's degree of sagging, and should be assessed by a doctor beforehand. As a rough general guide: 

• Cheeks + double chin: about 300-500 shots.
• Full face: about 600 shots.
• Full face + neck: about 1,000 shots. 
• Neck: about 300-500 shots.
• Forehead: about 200-300 shots.
• Eye area: about 100-200 shots.
• Body areas (upper arms, thighs, abdomen): the number of lines depends on the size of the area and the thickness of the fat,
  averaging 500-1,500 shots per area.

‍

The Difference Between Ultraformer III and Ultraformer MPT 

Ultraformer III and Ultraformer MPT are not very different; the small difference is that the MPT adds a new energy-delivery mode. ILLUM Clinic has summarised this in an easy-to-read table below:
‍

‍

In Summary: How Does Ultraformer III Differ From Other Lifting Devices? 

Ultraformer III suits those with mild wrinkles and mild sagging who want to start caring for their skin early.

Ultraformer MPT suits those with superficial wrinkles, sagging skin and a dull complexion.

Ulthera suits those with moderate sagging and little fat who want results close to a facelift, done once a year.

Oligio suits those who want to rejuvenate the skin while reducing subcutaneous fat and softening fine lines.

Thermage suits those who want plump, firm, taut skin and who have a fatty double chin and loose skin.

If you are not sure which device is right for you, ILLUM Clinic recommends consulting a doctor for an individual assessment, because everyone's skin concerns, facial structure and goals are different. This is especially important for those who have had filler before or who have delicate, easily irritated skin and should take extra care.

The Pros and Cons You Should Know Before Ultraformer III

Advantages of Ultraformer III 

• Lifts the skin as deep as the SMAS layer without surgery. 
• Highly safe and does not damage the upper layers of skin. 
• Has transducers at several depths that cover every skin layer, so the doctor can adjust the treatment flexibly.
• 20% of the result is visible immediately, and over the next 3-4 months the skin lifts and firms up to 100%.
• No downtime and no wounds; you can carry on with daily life as normal.
• Suitable for any gender and for many areas of the body.
• Stimulates collagen over the long term, making the skin firmer and more elastic.
• Results last about 6 months and the treatment can be repeated to maintain them.

Drawbacks to Know About Ultraformer III

• The results are not permanent and last about 5-6 months, though the treatment can be repeated to maintain them.
• Not suitable for very severe sagging or very thick fat.
• You may feel some pain or a sting in certain spots during treatment, depending on how sensitive your skin is.
• Results vary from person to person depending on skin condition, age and aftercare.

‍

Does Ultraformer III Hurt?

For readers worried about whether Ultraformer III hurts, ILLUM Clinic can say that as the Ultraformer III delivers energy into the skin you will feel a slight sting and warmth beneath the surface. How strong this feels varies from person to person depending on their sensitivity. However, if you feel nothing at all, the device may be a counterfeit that does not meet standards and so will not deliver results.

‍

What Age Is Ultraformer III Suitable For?

Ultraformer III can be done at many ages, but the key principle is that the earlier you start, the better the results, because
caring for your skin before it begins to sag helps keep it firm and youthful far better than waiting until it has already sagged. The age ranges best suited to Ultraformer III are as follows:

• Around 25-30 years: good for preventing and delaying future sagging.
• Around 31-40 years: good for those whose facial contour is becoming unclear, whose skin is starting to sag slightly, or who have early wrinkles.
• Around 41-50 years and older: good for those with early to moderate sagging, though some may need to combine it with other procedures to enhance the results.

In short, Ultraformer III can be done from the age of 25 onward, and starting before the skin begins to sag gives better results and a more youthful look compared with people of the same age who have never had it.

‍

How to Prepare Before Ultraformer III 

• Stop using products with exfoliating agents, such as fruit acids (AHA) and retinol, as they can make the skin more sensitive to the device's energy and may cause irritation.
• Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, as they slow the skin's recovery.
• Get enough rest and eat a balanced diet from all five food groups; this supports good blood circulation and makes collagen production after treatment more effective.

‍

The Ultraformer III Treatment Steps

1. Consult the doctor to assess your skin and the areas you want to treat, and to determine the number of shots needed
   (this can differ from person to person).
2. Share your health history and any past procedures to reduce the risk of complications.
3. Before starting, staff cleanse the face thoroughly and take photographs to compare with the results afterwards.
4. A topical anaesthetic is applied for about 30-45 minutes before treatment to help reduce discomfort.
5. Once the time is up, staff wipe off the anaesthetic and the doctor begins delivering the energy; the treatment takes 30-50 minutes depending on the number of shots used.
6. After treatment there may be slight swelling, tenderness or redness from the heat, which gradually fades on its own within
   1-2  hours.

‍

Possible Side Effects After Ultraformer III 

Most side effects after Ultraformer III are temporary and resolve on their own, because the ultrasound energy reaches the deeper layers without damaging the upper skin. The effects that can occur are:

• Redness, warmth or slight swelling in the treated area, usually resolving within a few hours to 1-2 days.
• Some pain or a sting in certain spots during or shortly after treatment, depending on individual skin sensitivity.
• A feeling of tightness or soreness beneath the skin from tissue contraction, which may last about 2-7 days.
• Slight bruising, which is uncommon and usually clears on its own within a few days.

In general, Ultraformer III is a very safe procedure when performed by an experienced specialist doctor using a genuine, standard-certified device. That said, if pain, swelling or anything unusual lasts longer than expected, please consult your doctor promptly for further assessment.

‍

Aftercare Following Ultraformer III

After Ultraformer III you can go about your daily life as usual, with no downtime and no wounds. However, to make the lifting results clearer and longer-lasting, ILLUM Clinic recommends the following aftercare:

What You Should Do 

• Apply your usual moisturiser to help soothe the skin after the energy treatment.
• If you have mild tightness or soreness, you may take paracetamol for pain relief
  (if you have no history of drug allergy).
• Apply sunscreen of SPF 50+ or higher every day to protect the skin from UV rays that can interfere with
  collagen production.

What You Should Avoid 

• Avoid massaging or rubbing the treated area firmly, to reduce irritation and keep the delivered energy undisturbed.
• Avoid strong sun exposure, especially in the first 1-2 weeks, so UV light does not interfere with skin recovery.
• Cut down on or avoid smoking and alcohol, as they can affect the production of new collagen and make the results
  last for a shorter time.

5 Ways to Check That an Ultraformer III Device Is Genuine 

1. The screen clearly displays the name “Ultraformer III” when the device is turned on.
2. The “Ultraformer III” logo and the CLASSYS logo are printed on the device and the transducers.
3. You can look up clinics that use genuine devices on the website WWW.Qhtaesthetics.com 
4. There is a QR code next to the screen that you can scan to verify the device is genuine.
5. Official certification stickers from the authorised importer are affixed around the device.

‍

Where Should You Have Ultraformer III Done?

Choosing the right clinic matters a great deal for safe, worthwhile results. Consider the following:

• Choose a clinic that meets standards, is properly licensed, is certified by the Ministry of Public Health and clearly displays its licence number.
• The Ultraformer III device used must be genuine and of good quality; a counterfeit device delivers energy
  unevenly and can burn the skin.
• An experienced doctor who can assess your skin and target the right concerns to match your needs.
• Reviews from real clients on neutral channels that the clinic cannot delete or edit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Many Times a Year Should You Have Ultraformer III, and How Often?

If this is your first time, the doctor recommends coming back for a second session after 3 months to let the fibroblasts
produce collagen fully first. After that, return every 6 months to maintain the results and slow down sagging.

Which Country Is the Ultraformer III Device From?

Ultraformer III is a lifting device developed in South Korea and manufactured by Classys, a developer of aesthetic medical technology that is widely used in many countries and has passed international safety standards.

Ultraformer III: What Is the Difference Between a “Shot” and a “Line”?

A shot and a line are both units for counting how many times the device delivers energy into the skin; they differ in how the energy is applied. A single shot delivers energy one point at a time, while a line shot delivers it continuously along a line made up of several points in a row.

Can Ultraformer III Be Combined With Oligio? 

Yes, they can be combined to improve both skin lifting and overall skin quality, both lifting and contouring, for firmer skin, a lifted face and a defined facial contour.

Can Ultraformer III Be Done Together With Botox or Filler?

Yes, and it helps enhance the results. It can also be combined with other procedures such as Sculptra (a collagen stimulator) and Vitaran (a skin booster that strengthens the skin, adds moisture and brightens the complexion), among others.
ILLUM Clinic recommends consulting a doctor to arrange the right order and timing, for example with Ultraformer III + Botox you should have the Ultraformer III first and then the Botox injection afterwards.
