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.
