Ultraformer III
Ultraformer III is a non-surgical treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to target specific layers beneath the skin. It is commonly used for facial contouring, skin tightening, and improvement of mild to moderate skin laxity.
At The Moon Clinic, Ultraformer treatments are planned individually according to facial anatomy, skin quality, tissue laxity, treatment area, and patient goals.
The objective is to support a firmer and more defined appearance without surgery, while maintaining natural facial proportions.
How Does Ultraformer Work?
Ultraformer uses focused ultrasound energy delivered at selected depths beneath the skin.
The energy creates controlled thermal points within targeted tissue layers, which may stimulate the body’s natural collagen-remodeling response over time.
Different cartridges are designed to reach different tissue depths, allowing treatment to be customized depending on the area and intended effect.
Because the skin surface is not surgically opened, Ultraformer is considered a non-invasive treatment.
What Can Ultraformer Help With?
Depending on individual assessment, Ultraformer may be used to address concerns such as:
Mild facial skin laxity
Reduced jawline definition
Lower-face heaviness
Mild double-chin appearance
Cheek laxity
Brow area laxity
Neck laxity
Overall facial contour
Loss of firmness associated with aging
Treatment suitability varies between individuals.
Which Areas Can Be Treated?
Ultraformer may be used on selected areas including:
Forehead
Brow area
Cheeks
Lower face
Jawline
Under the chin
Neck
Selected body areas
The number of treatment shots and treatment depth are selected according to the anatomy and treatment plan.
What Are Ultraformer “Shots”?
A “shot” refers to one delivery of focused ultrasound energy.
The total number of shots depends on factors such as:
Size of the treatment area
Facial anatomy
Degree of skin laxity
Number of areas treated
Desired treatment coverage
Physician assessment
A higher number of shots does not automatically mean a better result. Appropriate placement and individualized treatment planning are important.
How Long Does an Ultraformer Treatment Take?
Treatment time depends on the number of areas and total number of shots.
A smaller facial treatment may take less time, while a full-face and neck treatment generally requires a longer session.
Your treatment plan will be determined after consultation.
Does Ultraformer Hurt?
Sensation varies between individuals.
During treatment, patients may feel:
Warmth
Tingling
Brief sharp sensations
Deep pressure
Sensitivity around bony areas
Some areas may feel more sensitive than others.
Comfort measures may be used when appropriate.
When Will I See Results?
Some patients may notice an early feeling of firmness after treatment.
However, Ultraformer results generally develop gradually because collagen remodeling takes time.
Changes may continue to become more noticeable over the following weeks and months.
The response varies according to:
Age
Skin condition
Degree of laxity
Treatment area
Number and placement of shots
Individual collagen response
How Long Do Ultraformer Results Last?
The duration of results varies between individuals.
Factors that may influence longevity include:
Age
Skin quality
Lifestyle
Degree of skin laxity
Natural aging process
Treatment intensity
Individual collagen response
Maintenance treatment may be considered after reassessment.
There is no single treatment interval that is appropriate for every patient.
Is Ultraformer the Same as a Facelift?
No.
Ultraformer is a non-surgical focused ultrasound treatment, while a facelift is a surgical procedure that repositions and supports deeper facial tissues and removes or adjusts excess skin when appropriate.
Ultraformer may be suitable for patients with mild to moderate laxity who are not ready for surgery.
Patients with significant skin laxity may require a different treatment approach.
Ultraformer vs Botox
Ultraformer and Botox work in different ways.
Ultraformer
Uses focused ultrasound energy
Targets deeper tissue layers
Commonly used for tightening and contour support
Works gradually through tissue remodeling
Botox
Temporarily reduces selected muscle activity
Commonly used for dynamic expression lines
May also be used for selected facial contour concerns
In some patients, both treatments may be combined as part of a broader facial treatment plan.
Ultraformer vs Dermal Fillers
Ultraformer and fillers also have different purposes.
Ultraformer
Focuses on tissue tightening and contour support
Does not primarily work by adding volume
Dermal Fillers
Add volume and structural support
Can improve projection and facial proportions
Treatment choice depends on whether the primary concern is laxity, volume loss, muscle activity, or a combination of factors.
Ultraformer vs Thread Lift
Both treatments may be used for facial contour concerns, but they work differently.
Ultraformer uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate tissue remodeling.
Thread lifting involves placement of absorbable threads beneath the skin to provide mechanical support and stimulate tissue response.
The most appropriate option depends on anatomy, degree of laxity, desired effect, medical history, and treatment goals.
Who May Be Suitable for Ultraformer?
Ultraformer may be considered for patients who:
Have mild to moderate skin laxity
Want non-surgical facial contouring
Are concerned about jawline definition
Want to support facial firmness
Prefer limited downtime
Have realistic expectations
Suitability should be determined after medical assessment.
Who May Not Be Suitable?
Ultraformer may not be appropriate for every patient.
Additional assessment may be required in patients with:
Active skin infection
Open wounds in the treatment area
Certain implanted devices
Significant medical conditions
Severe skin laxity
Very low facial fat volume in selected areas
Previous procedures that alter tissue anatomy
The physician will determine suitability during consultation.
What Happens During Treatment?
Before treatment, the physician evaluates the face and identifies the areas requiring treatment.
The skin is cleansed and ultrasound gel is applied.
The Ultraformer handpiece is then placed against the skin, and focused ultrasound energy is delivered at selected points.
Different cartridge depths may be used in different areas.
Treatment parameters are adjusted according to anatomy and the intended treatment plan.
Is There Downtime?
Downtime is generally limited.
Some patients may experience temporary:
Redness
Mild swelling
Tenderness
Tingling
Sensitivity
Temporary numbness
These effects usually improve gradually.
The duration varies between individuals.
Can I Return to Work After Ultraformer?
Many patients can return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment.
However, mild redness, swelling, or tenderness may occasionally be present.
How Often Can Ultraformer Be Done?
The appropriate interval depends on the treatment area, intensity, skin condition, and individual response.
Ultraformer should not automatically be repeated at fixed intervals without reassessment.
The physician may recommend maintenance treatment based on how the tissue responds over time.
Can Ultraformer Reduce a Double Chin?
Ultraformer may help improve the appearance of the under-chin area in selected patients by supporting tissue tightening and contour definition.
However, if the main concern is a significant amount of localized fat, another treatment such as liposuction may be more appropriate.
A consultation is important to determine whether the concern is primarily caused by fat, skin laxity, anatomy, or a combination of factors.
Can Ultraformer Make the Face Look Slimmer?
In selected patients, improving jawline definition and tissue firmness may create a more refined facial contour.
However, Ultraformer is not a weight-loss treatment and does not replace liposuction when significant localized fat is present.
Can Ultraformer Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Yes, in selected patients Ultraformer may be combined with treatments such as:
Botox
Dermal fillers
Skin boosters
Vitaran PN
Selected mesotherapy treatments
Other facial rejuvenation procedures
The sequence and timing should be determined by the physician.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Ultraformer work?
Ultraformer delivers focused ultrasound energy at selected depths beneath the skin, creating controlled thermal points that may stimulate collagen remodeling and tissue tightening over time.
How long does Ultraformer last?

Our Approach
At The Moon Clinic, Ultraformer treatment is not based solely on the number of shots.
The treatment plan considers facial anatomy, skin laxity, tissue thickness, facial fat distribution, and the desired contour.
Our aim is to use appropriate treatment depth and placement to support a firmer, more balanced, and naturally defined appearance.
