Technology
How Does Ultraformer Work?
Ultraformer uses focused ultrasound energy delivered at specific depths beneath the skin.
The controlled energy stimulates the natural collagen renewal process while targeting different tissue layers according to the treatment area. Over time, this can help improve firmness, elasticity and definition.
Unlike surgery, Ultraformer does not require incisions.
The objective is gradual tightening and contour refinement while maintaining your natural facial expression.
Face
Ultraformer for the Face
Facial ageing does not happen only at the surface of the skin.
Changes in collagen, tissue support and facial contours can gradually create heaviness or loss of definition.
Ultraformer may help improve:
Lower face laxity
Softer jawline definition
Mild jowling
Cheek laxity
Fine lines
Skin firmness
Overall facial contour
Dr. Nivine adjusts treatment according to the areas that actually require support rather than treating every face with the same pattern.
Lower face
Ultraformer for the Jawline and Double Chin
Loss of jawline definition can result from a combination of skin laxity, tissue position and localised fullness beneath the chin.
Ultraformer can be strategically used around the lower face and submental area to create a more defined transition between the face and neck.
For suitable patients, treatment may help:
Define the jawline
Tighten loose skin
Improve the appearance of mild jowls
Refine the area beneath the chin
Create a sharper lower facial contour
The best approach depends on whether the main concern is skin laxity, excess volume or a combination of both.
Neck
Ultraformer for Neck Tightening
The neck is often one of the first areas to show changes in skin firmness.
Ultraformer may help improve mild to moderate laxity by stimulating collagen within targeted tissue layers.
Treatment may focus on:
Loose neck skin
Reduced firmness
Fine lines
Jawline-to-neck definition
Early signs of ageing
For more advanced skin laxity, Dr. Nivine may recommend a different or combined treatment approach.
Body
Ultraformer for the Body
Ultraformer technology can also be used with deeper treatment depths for selected body areas.
Depending on the treatment objective, it may help improve skin firmness and body contour in areas such as:
Abdomen
Thighs
Flanks
Selected areas of localised fullness
Ultraformer systems use different cartridge depths for facial and body treatments, allowing the treatment to be adapted to different tissue layers.
Treatment philosophy
More Than Skin Tightening
Ultraformer treatment is not about pulling the face into a different shape.
The aim is to improve the structures that contribute to:
Firmness
Definition
Elasticity
Facial contour
Skin quality
Collagen renewal develops gradually, creating progressive rather than artificial-looking changes.
Dr. Nivine's approach
Treat the Anatomy, Not Just the Area
Before treatment, Dr. Nivine evaluates:
Facial proportions
Degree of skin laxity
Tissue thickness
Jawline structure
Submental fullness
Facial asymmetry
Skin quality
Desired degree of improvement
Ultraformer offers multiple treatment depths, allowing the treatment plan to be adapted according to individual anatomy.
The number of treatment shots and areas treated are therefore personalised.

Results
When Will I See Results?
Some patients may notice an early feeling of firmness after treatment.
However, Ultraformer's main changes develop progressively as collagen renewal occurs.
Over the following weeks and months, you may notice:
Firmer skin
Better jawline definition
Improved facial contour
Reduced appearance of mild laxity
Improved elasticity
The degree of improvement varies according to age, anatomy, skin quality and the severity of laxity.
Recovery

Temporary effects may include:
Mild redness
Tenderness
Temporary sensitivity
Slight swelling
Tingling sensations
These effects are generally temporary.

Ultraformer vs Fillers
A patient experiencing facial laxity may benefit more from tightening, while another patient may have volume loss that requires a different approach.
In some cases, treatments may be combined as part of a personalised facial rejuvenation plan.
