HIFU ULTRAFORMER
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) Ultraformer addresses several common concerns including sagging skin on the face, neck, and décolletage, fine lines and wrinkles, and stubborn pockets of fat on the body. Its popularity is due to its innovative ability to lift and tighten the skin, offering a ‘non-surgical facelift’ option that appeals to those who seek natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
The treatment involves using a handheld device that delivers focused ultrasound energy to specific depths beneath the skin. This energy generates heat, which stimulates collagen production and contracts muscle layers. The increase in collagen production leads to firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time. Additionally, for body contouring, the thermal effect can reduce fat cells, resulting in a slimmer appearance.
The procedure typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated. It is generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort during the session. There is no need for anaesthesia, and patients can resume their normal activities immediately afterward.
To achieve the best results, Ambra’s trained practitioners may recommend a series of treatment sessions, typically spaced about three months apart. This allows the body time to produce new collagen and elastin fibres, enhancing the lifting and tightening effects. Results can be seen as early as one month after treatment, with the most significant improvements appearing around three to six months post-treatment.
For optimal outcomes, it is essential to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by the practitioner, which may include avoiding direct sunlight, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and using recommended skincare products. Regular follow-up sessions may be advised to maintain the achieved results.
