Ultraformer/Skin Tightening
Skin tightening with Ultraformer 3 is a great way to lift and tighten the face, neck, and other areas without having invasive surgery. Ultraformer 3 is an amazing treatment that yields great results. It is a very comfortable procedure with no downtime as well as very few side effects after the treatment.
The Ultraformer 3 instantly contracts collagen fibres and promotes long-term fresh collagen growth. Doing this tightens skin laxity and reduces wrinkles. The effects are instantly noticeable but will continue to improve over the following six to twelve weeks. Dr Shauna Watts provides individual treatment plans in order to help each patient achieve their aesthetic goals.
How Does Ultraformer 3 Work?
The Ultraformer 3 can treat skin laxity, fat and wrinkles virtually anywhere on the face, neck, and even body. The treatment can dramatically improve skin texture, firmness, as well as tone. It can be a great option for patients seeking to reduce signs of ageing and other skin issues such as:
- Forehead wrinkles
- Eyebrow laxity
- Lines and wrinkles
- Sagging cheeks and jowls
- Double chin and neck laxity
And that’s just the face and neck. We can also treat other areas of the body, such as the tummy, backs of arms, love handles, and even leg skin laxity such as around the knee or ankle areas. It is a comfortable and effective treatment, with no injections necessary!

The Procedure
Prior to your HIFU treatment, Dr Watts will discuss your procedure with you to determine your specific areas of concern. You will then discuss a treatment plan that suits your needs and helps you achieve your skin tightening goals.
On treatment day, you may feel some warmth as the heat from the device enters your body. The heat contracts the existing collagen fibres and stimulates new collagen to grow, resulting in an overall smoother, tighter skin texture. Since collagen takes time to regenerate, your results will be gradual.
Recovery and Results
After your treatment, your skin may feel slightly hot, as if sunburned. No downtime is needed, but you may feel some initial discomfort. In some cases, patients may have mild swelling and bruising. However, these Ultraformer 3 side effects should subside on their own, as long as you take care of your healing treatment area.
Your custom treatment plan designed by Dr Watts will help you get the best results possible. Patients can see an immediate improvement in their skin tone, texture, and overall quality, along with continued improvement for three to six months. Generally, we suggest one treatment a year for the best and longest lasting results.
