In earlier days, the only option for skin lifting was possible only with a surgical process, which on the one hand came with a high price. However, evolution has brought in a process of non-surgical skin lifting, which you can take as a preventive action or a gradual care against skin laxity caused by aging and environmental factors. Compared to several options available, Ultraformer^TM has recently become a leading option as it is a quick and easy process while providing a compelling but also natural progression.

This article will focus on the magic of Ultraformer^TM, especially on how Ultraformer skin lifting treatment works, and all other things you need to know that help you experience the magic of Ultraformer^TM by yourself.

What is an Ultraformer^TM?

Ultraformer^TM is a procedure for skin lifting and tightening based on High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology. The nature of ultrasound, which can penetrate deep into human tissue and interact with it via thermal and mechanical mechanisms, makes it a suitable choice for stimulating the process of collagen production in your skin. HIFU technology makes them practical as it helps focus an ultrasound beam and its energy onto millimeter-sized targets, which is suitable for use in aesthetic treatments.

The Ultraformer^TM used that concept as a basis for its treatment, as it is based on Micro and Macro Ultrasound Technology, or MMFU. Here, HIFU-powered transducers are a means of transferring stabilized temperatures of 65-75°C to heat the dermal and superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) layers. That heat will cause a shrinking effect on your skin, followed by inflammation and fibroplasia within the area. Meanwhile, that heat also targets fat and cellulite within your skin and destroys them. In addition, it will stimulate the natural process of regenerating new collagen. Throughout the process, skin is being firmed and tightened while wrinkles are also eliminated.

Another development of Ultraformer^TM is the Ultraformer^TM MPT or Micro-Pulsed Technology. While Ultraformer^TM III transfers heat to your skin as a dot pattern, Ultraformer^TM MPT is equipped with a specialized “Ultra Booster” that transfers heat to your skin as a line. As it provides 2.5 times of energy compared to Ultraformer^TM III, Ultraformer^TM MPT helps significantly speed up treatment, providing more effective results with much more comfort. Thus, Ultraformer^TM III remains highly effective in skin tightening and body contouring compared to other procedures.

Why Ultraformer^TM?

The Ultraformer^TM became the first in mind for a process in skin lifting and tightening, as it has multiple key strengths compared to other types of processes

• Non-invasive: The MMFU process of Ultraformer^TM requires no injection or even a single incision, which then leads to minimal preparatory requirements and also minimal side effects possible.
• Versatile: Ultraformer^TM is effective not only for multiple parts of the face and body, but its MMFU process also makes it effective against multiple layers of skin and body tissues.
• Natural & Gradual Results: As Ultraformer^TM works by stimulating the natural process of regenerating new collagen, the results of Ultraformer^TM are subtle but noticeable over time.
• Relatively Comfortable: Not only is it non-invasive, but the targeted process of Ultraformer^TM that is active against only a specific layer of the skin helps you feel more comfortable during the process.
• Minimal Operation Time and Downtime: With no preparation required, the procedures of Ultraformer^TM could take only 15-25 minutes. Also, the less damage and side effects make it less downtime and no post-treatment follow-ups required.

Here, Ultraformer^TM became a proper choice for quick and easy, but remained highly effective for skin lifting and tightening. Also, its strength made it a good candidate as a preventive measure to maintain the natural tightness of your skin.

Ultraformer^TM or Surgical Lifting?

Then, the question may arise for people with deep wrinkles or considerable sagging and skin laxity that “What is a better option between non-invasive Ultraformer^TM and traditional surgical lifting?” Here, we have created a comparison table for you

	UltraformerTM	Surgical Lifting
Process	Delivers focused ultrasound energy to heat deep tissue layers and stimulate collagen production.	Incisions to remove excess skin and tighten underlying tissue
Results	Moderate lifting & tightening. Natural-looking with gradual Improvement over 2-3 months	Immediate and Dramatic lift, Long-lasting over 10 years
Downtime	Minimal to none	Significant, weeks to months with pain management necessary
Risks	Low risk, with temporary redness, swelling, and tingling.	Higher risk, including all common risks of the operation, asymmetry, and hair loss at the incision
Costs	Moderate, but requires multiple sessions over time	High, but it is a single payment
Suitable for	Mild to moderate skin laxity, early jowling, preventive action	Moderate to severe skin laxity, significant sagging, deep wrinkles, and excess neck skin

Our recommendation for you is that if you are younger patients that have mild to moderate skin laxity that seeking for “natural” lift or maintenance of your tightening, Ultraformer^TM is the best choice for you. Thus, if you become older with a considerable level of skin laxity. Facelift surgery could be a better alternative, under the condition that the risk and downtime is acceptable for you.

However, if you remain unclear about what should be done based on your current conditions, consider contacting us for additional consultation for the best option tailored for you.

Are you a suitable candidate?

At this point, if you consider Ultraformer^TM as your preferred option. Here are some things you should know before making a consultation with a certified dermatologist.

For the “fit” candidate of Ultraformer^TM, it could help you deal with loose & sagging skin, skin folds, fine lines and wrinkles, signs of aging, a decrease in skin elasticity, and V-line contouring. In addition, Ultraformer^TM can also be used in combination with other procedures, including Botox and fillers, for the treatment of deep wrinkles or other “severe” cases. 

Most patients could apply for Ultraformer^TM as it does not have a limitation of unpreferred skin types or skin conditions. Even though a basic condition of not currently with active acne, excessive or sagging skin, or skin infection needs to be considered.

The preparation for Ultraformer^TM begins with a “pinch test” at the application area to assess the thickness of your skin. Then, the application area will be cleaned, outlined, and applied with ultrasound gel. The treatment itself is being done in terms of “shots”, ranging from 200 shots for forehead and brow lift to 2000 shots for thighs and abdomen. 

Those processes consumed no more than an hour, with a chance that redness and skin tightness may occur, but being subdued within a few hours. The post-operative case requires only hydration and moisturizing of the area. Then, the effectiveness of Ultraformer^TM would be seen after a few weeks, while it would last for 4-6 months, and a re-do of the process may be needed, but could be done easily
