What Is Ultraformer III? The Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Treatment You’ve Been Looking For

Want firmer, tighter skin—without surgery or downtime? Ultraformer III is one of the most advanced non-invasive lifting treatments available in Australia. Whether you’re concerned about sagging cheeks, jowls, or skin laxity on the neck, Ultraformer III can help you achieve a more lifted, youthful look—naturally.

At The Derm Lab, we use Ultraformer III to deliver noticeable skin tightening and lifting, all without needles, downtime, or discomfort.


🔍 What Is Ultraformer III?

Ultraformer III is a non-surgical treatment that uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to target the deeper layers of the skin, including the SMAS layer (the same one lifted during surgical facelifts).

It works by delivering ultrasound energy deep beneath the skin, triggering collagen production and contracting tissue to achieve visible lifting and contouring—especially around the jawline, cheeks, eyes, and neck.


⚙️ How Does It Work?

Ultraformer III delivers micro-focused ultrasound energy at multiple depths:

  • 1.5mm – for superficial tightening and fine lines
  • 3.0mm – mid-dermis collagen stimulation
  • 4.5mm – SMAS layer lifting (deeper, structural support)

This creates a thermal effect that stimulates the body’s natural healing process—resulting in firmer, tighter skin over time.


🎯 What Can It Treat?

Ultraformer III is ideal for:

  • Sagging skin (cheeks, jawline, neck)
  • Jowls
  • Eyebrow lift
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Loose skin under the chin or décolletage
  • Full face and body skin tightening

It’s suitable for men and women seeking a natural-looking lift without injectables or surgery.


⏱️ How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Most clients see noticeable results from just one treatment, with full effects developing over 6 to 12 weeks. For optimal results, we may recommend:

  • 1 session every 12 months for maintenance
  • Or a customised plan based on your skin and goals

💡 Is There Downtime?

Ultraformer III has no real downtime—you can return to your usual activities immediately.
After your session, you may experience:

  • Slight redness (fades in 1–2 hours)
  • Mild tenderness or tingling
  • Occasionally, temporary swelling or tightness

⚠️ What About Ultraformer MPT?

You may have heard about Ultraformer MPT, the latest model in the Ultraformer series. It introduces micro-pulsed energy and new treatment modes, with the aim of offering more customisable skin tightening.

At The Derm Lab, we trialed the Ultraformer MPT and carefully assessed its performance. While it offers some technical upgrades, we found:

  • No meaningful improvement in treatment outcomes compared to Ultraformer III
  • Longer treatment times and increased cost to patients

That’s why we’ve chosen to continue using Ultraformer III—a trusted, proven device that delivers excellent results, efficiently and affordably.
