High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound — HIFU
A focused-ultrasound technology that targets selected depths beneath the skin to support tightening and collagen remodelling without resurfacing the skin.

What is Ultraformer?
Ultraformer uses high-intensity focused ultrasound, or HIFU, to deliver energy to precise points beneath the skin without removing the skin surface.
The ultrasound energy is concentrated at a selected depth to create controlled thermal points that support tissue contraction and gradual collagen remodelling.
Uses of Ultraformer
Ultraformer may be considered within plans intended to:
- Improve facial skin firmness
- Support jawline definition
- Improve the appearance of neck and submental laxity
- Support tightening of selected body areas where the approved configuration permits
- Stimulate collagen remodelling
- Improve mild to moderate laxity
Does Ultraformer replace surgery?
Ultraformer is not an equivalent substitute for a surgical facelift in advanced laxity. The physician assesses the degree of laxity, tissue thickness and treatment goal before deciding whether HIFU or another approach is more appropriate.
Results and sessions
Some early change may be noticeable, while part of the outcome develops gradually as the tissue response and collagen remodelling progress. Session number and follow-up timing vary by area, degree of laxity and response.
Treatment sensation
Patients may experience warmth or a prickling sensation at treatment points to varying degrees. The practitioner explains expected discomfort and available comfort measures before treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Is Ultraformer a laser?
No. Ultraformer uses high-intensity focused ultrasound rather than laser energy.
Is Ultraformer suitable for facial tightening?
It may be appropriate for selected mild-to-moderate laxity and jawline-definition goals, depending on examination, tissue thickness and realistic expectations.
When can results be seen?
Some patients may notice an early change, while part of the outcome develops over time with collagen remodelling. Response varies between individuals.
How many Ultraformer sessions are needed?
There is no fixed number for every patient. The plan depends on the area, degree of laxity, response and follow-up needs.
