Ultraformer III Skin Rejuvenation
Ultraformer III Skin Rejuvenation
Skin tightening & contouring
The Ultraformer III (HIFU) is an advanced non-surgical Micro-Focused Ultrasound Energy device designed tighten and contour areas of the face, neck, and body. By delivering precise amounts of ultrasound energy at specific tissue depths, it generates heat that triggers a healing response and tissue remodeling in the body. Over time, this process results in a natural lift, tightening, and rejuvenation of the skin.
One of its key functions is stimulating the body to produce new fibroblasts, the cells responsible for creating collagen. This increase in collagen levels leads to smoother skin, plumping up fine lines and wrinkles, and firming mild laxity and textural irregularities.
Targeting areas like the jowls, jawline, double chin, and neck, which have traditionally been challenging to address without surgery, the Ultraformer 3 has the ability to induce tightening, lifting, and rejuvenation. It achieves non-surgical lifting, often referred to as the “Non-Surgical Facelift.”
Ideal candidates include those with mild to moderate skin laxity, individuals aiming to proactively combat aging, and anyone seeking a natural approach to maintaining youthful and radiant skin.
At our Perth clinic, Academy Face and Body brings extensive expertise in facial aesthetic treatments, providing surgical, non-surgical, laser and dermal options tailored to diverse skin types and concerns. Commitment to skincare is crucial for maintaining skin health and addressing specific issues. Our dedicated team conducts thorough assessments to craft personalised treatment plans, ensuring your skin achieves its intended radiance.

WHAT IS Ultraformer III Skin Rejuvenation?
Ultraformer III Skin Rejuvenation is a non-invasive procedure designed to tighten and lift the skin, leading to a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. It uses advanced ultrasound technology to target specific layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue regeneration.
The Ultraformer III device delivers precise ultrasound energy to the treatment area. This energy penetrates deep into the skin without causing any damage to the surface, triggering a natural healing response that tightens and firms the skin over time.
Results are gradual and continue to improve over several weeks as collagen production increases, with many individuals noticing firmer, smoother skin and a more youthful appearance.
The treatment is customisable, allowing practitioners to adjust the intensity and depth of the ultrasound energy based on each patient’s unique skin concerns and goals. This versatility makes Ultraformer III suitable for a wide range of individuals seeking non-surgical skin tightening and rejuvenation solutions.
The procedure is versatile and can be used to address various concerns, including:
- Skin Tightening
Ultraformer III can tighten loose or sagging skin on the face, neck, and body, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. - Lifting
It can lift drooping facial features, such as the eyebrows, cheeks, and jowls, for a more defined and lifted contour. - Jawline Definition
By targeting the jawline and chin area, Ultraformer III can improve facial symmetry and create a more sculpted profile. - Body Contouring
Ultraformer III can be used to contour and tighten skin on areas like the abdomen, arms, and thighs.
