How does HIFU Ultraformer III work?
The HIFU Ultraformer III is a non-invasive ultrasound device that can carry out lifting and tightening of the skin for slimmer contours and a youthful-looking body. The HIFU-powered transducers have precise per shot pulses and are capable of remodelling collagen for improving facial wrinkles and sagging skin.
