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.
Ultraformer III is also used for body contouring. Besides skin tightening, the cartridges applied to the skin disrupt and kill fat cells which are then cleared by the body’s lymphatic system naturally.
