Witness｜UltraFormer III："I realized that my facial contours became smoother"

This Mother's Day, Feifei gave herself a special gift – UltraFormer III treatment. Having never undergone any radiofrequency or ultrasound therapy before, she hoped that the UltraFormer III treatment could achieve a lifting and tightening effect on her facial contours. Let's hear her thoughts!

In reality, I've never been very confident about my facial shape, especially after giving birth to my child. The rapid loss of collagen made my face sag, and in photos, the sagging around the mouth and the blurring of facial contours became more apparent. The asymmetry between the two sides of my face, especially the concern about having a smaller face, bothered me a lot.

For those who have been following my stories, you probably know that this Mother's Day, I gave myself a gift – I summoned the courage to try out UltraFormer III!

About a month after the treatment, there wasn't a significant difference in my facial shape compared to before, but nearing the third month, I realized that my facial contours became smoother! My face also appeared smaller, and I hardly used any photo-editing to enhance my face lately (which is something to be proud of, right?).

Comparing the photos taken before the treatment and the recent ones, the changes are quite evident. Even the asymmetry in the size of my face has become more balanced, and the sagging around the mouth has lifted and tightened! It seems quite exaggerated when I look at the photos, and I can't help but admire the results of UltraFormer III once again!

I had the procedure done at the newly opened MuMake Clinic, and I love the environment and decor. The doctor is gentle, and throughout the procedure, they continuously checked on my comfort level. If it ever became too much to bear, they would adjust the intensity or allow me to take a break, ensuring that I didn't experience prolonged discomfort.

I'm sure many of you are curious about whether it hurts (because that was my biggest curiosity before getting it done). On a pain scale of ten, I would say it was about a seven for me 😂. Also, the doctor reinforced the left side of my face, which I cared more about, so my left side was a bit swollen right after the treatment. It took about four to five days for the swelling to subside, but for the sake of beauty, everything is worth enduring! After seeing the results, I forgot who I was and where I was – I've decided to make UltraFormer III a regular annual treatment!

How does the lifting effect of UltraFormer III work?

It is a non-invasive firming and lifting treatment applicable to various facial areas such as eyebrows, submental area (double chin), improving cheeks, lower abdomen, and thighs' skin firmness. It also helps reduce the waist circumference by an average of about 2 cm (limited to the MF13 probe). The treatment principle involves the action of high-intensity focused ultrasound energy (65-70°C) at different depths of the skin, generating a heat effect, achieving a tightening and lifting effect.

How often should UltraFormer III be done? How many shots should be treated for it to be effective?

The case mentioned in this article, Feifei, underwent the full face and neck UltraFormer III treatment, consisting of a total of 1200 shots. As she mentioned in her experience, there was not a significant difference in her facial shape immediately after the treatment, but noticeable improvements occurred around the third month post-treatment.

We recommend observing the maintenance situation around 10 months to a year after the UltraFormer III treatment to assess whether a follow-up treatment is needed. As everyone's lifestyle and skincare habits differ, and the rate of aging varies, the required treatment areas and lines also differ. For the commonly treated lower and mid-face lifting, the basic number of lines typically ranges from 500-600. However, it is advisable to schedule a consultation with a professional physician for a more accurate assessment.

What is the cost of UltraFormer III? How much does UltraFormer III lifting cost?

Whether it's UltraFormer III or Ultherapy, the price varies depending on the number of shots treated. Generally, for young individuals with mild sagging, the cost is around 20,000 to 30,000 NTD. Those in the light to moderate sagging category may require 30,000 to 50,000 NTD for the UltraFormer III treatment. For individuals with moderate to severe skin laxity, where a larger treatment area and more shots are needed, the cost can be 50,000 NTD or more.

However, due to individual differences, the actual price and number of lines should be determined by the professional advice of a physician.
 

What are the aftereffects of UltraFormer III?

Under normal circumstances, there may be slight redness and swelling after the UltraFormer III treatment, which gradually subsides within a few hours to a few days without the need for ice packs. One week post-treatment, scabbing, peeling, and itching of the skin may occur. It's important to moisturize, apply sunscreen, and avoid scratching the treated areas with hands. Temporary pain caused by nerve damage may occur after the procedure, lasting about 1-2 weeks.
