Eliminating love handles with Ultraformer® III

All phototypes can be treated. There are no specific contraindications, apart from acne.

Ultraformer® III is a non-invasive, virtually painless technique. One treatment consists of two sessions, two months apart.

One session lasts between 30 and 90 minutes depending on the case.

After taking off make-up and disinfecting the skin, the doctor will determine which areas need to be treated, then will apply a conductive gel to guide the handpiece.

The practician directs the energy of the high-intensity focussed ultrasound (HIFU) to the treated area without touching the epidermis directly. Ultraformer® III has many transducers (cartridges) which act between 1.5 and 3 millimetres under the skin, depending on the symptoms being treated.

HIFU technology creates multiple coagulation points with a temperature of around 72 degrees. During a session, 7,500 to 15,000 coagulation points are created per treatment depth.

This always begins with the cartridge that acts at the deepest level. For example, on the face of a patient with excess fat (in the form of jowls or a double chin, for example), the doctor will first use the 4.5 mm cartridge for a lipolysis effect, then they will use the 3.0 mm, 2.0 mm and 1.5 mm cartridges to treat the sagging tissue and smooth out wrinkles.

Micro-thermic effect of ultrasound

Focussed ultrasound reaches a depth of 1.5, 2, 3 and 4.5 millimetres.

The HIFUs penetrate the different layers of the epidermis and dermis at the precise depths down to the fibrous layer, which supports the skin muscles in the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS), where the HIFU causes electrocoagulation just like a facelift.

After a few weeks, the skin is lifted by the production of new collagen (neocollagenesis) and the retraction of skin tissue in contact with the SMAS, resulting in a lifting effect.

Macro-thermic effect of ultrasound

Focussed ultrasound reaches a depth of 6, 9 and 13 millimetres.

The HIFUs damage the adipose membranes, composed of triglycerides that are then transported to the liver through the vascular and lymphatic systems. This process is made possible by the body’s natural metabolism, because the liver does not distinguish between fat from the Ultraformer® and fat from food consumption.

You can resume activities immediately. There may be localised oedema, a slight rash, bruising and a temporary, slightly wavy appearance.

The skin becomes gradually smoother thanks to new collagen synthesis, while fat is slowly eliminated via natural means. The definitive results will be apparent two to three months after the Ultraformer® III session. It is advisable to have one maintenance session a year
