HIFU

Ultraformer 3 is a treatment that can be used on both the face and body, to lift and tighten the look of loose, or sagging skin. The development of loosened skin can also be accompanied by other ageing-related concerns, such as facial creases, wrinkles and an increase in skin laxity. It is found to be the loss of collagen and elastin from the innermost layers of the dermis that causes many of these concerns and contributes to ageing’s characteristically ‘tired’ look.

Does it hurt?

You can feel assured that Ultraformer 3 is a treatment that is considered very comfortable by most patients. It is likely that you may feel the skin getting warm, but your practitioner will take the necessary steps to ensure it does not get hot.

Side effects?
At first, you may find the treated area looks red and slightly swollen. But this should dissipate within a matter of hours. It would not be unusual for you to also experience a tingling sensation, but this too should only be temporary.

After care?

Following your treatment, aftercare advice will help to enhance the results and reduce the risk of complications. With Ultraformer 3 you may be advised to: avoid prolonged exposure to the sun (and ensure you wear a high SPF – 50+), avoid alcohol for up to 48 hours, not to take hot showers and baths, be careful not to scratch your skin and to drink plenty of water.
