Versatility is, without a doubt, one of the most impressive features of Ultraformer. When we think of rejuvenation technologies, we often imagine devices that treat only a specific complaint, such as blemishes or superficial wrinkles.
However, this micro and macro-focused focused ultrasound platform acts as a comprehensive tissue restructuring system. If you're wondering " what does Ultraformer actually treat ?", the answer covers a wide range of clinical conditions, from deep facial muscle laxity to localized fat and cellulite in complex body areas.
In this comprehensive article, we will explore in detail each of the approved therapeutic indications for this elite technology, mapping the areas of application and the results you can expect.
Understanding the scope of this treatment allows patients at the Face Mi Institute in Braga and Porto to align their expectations and discover that, often, a single medical platform can resolve multiple aesthetic concerns in a single session.
Facial Indications: What does Ultraformer treat on the face?
Facial aging occurs in multiple layers: the dermis loses collagen, fat compartments stretch downwards, and muscle loses tone. This technology is one of the few in the world that can address all these structural aspects.
1. Sagging of the Lower Third of the Face ("Bulldog Cheeks")
With the loss of support, the skin of the cheeks tends to sag and accumulate at the jawline, breaking the youthful contour of the face. The treatment focuses on contracting the SMAS (superficial muscle) and the deep dermis, pulling the tissues back upwards and significantly smoothing sagging cheeks.
2. Double Chin (Jowls)
The treatment of "double chin" is one of the platform's greatest successes. The device treats this area through a dual approach: macro-focused transducers destroy localized fat cells, while micro-focused transducers treat the skin laxity that remains after the loss of this fat, tightening the tissue to the neck.
3. Periocular Wrinkles and Crow's Feet
The skin around the eyes is extremely thin and delicate, being the first to show signs of aging. Through special ultra-thin tips, the equipment treats sagging eyelids, opening up the eyes, reduces puffiness under the eyes and softens dynamic wrinkles known as crow's feet.
4. Neck Sagging and Décolleté Lines
The neck and chest often reveal age more clearly than the face.
Treatment in this area intensively stimulates collagen production, smoothing the horizontal lines of the neck (Venus lines) and treating the cracked and sagging skin of the décolleté.
Body Indications: What does Ultraformer treat on the body?
In the body, the clinical challenge often involves a combination of localized fat that resists dieting and skin that has lost elasticity. Thanks to macro-focused transducers, the device can penetrate up to 13mm deep to sculpt the silhouette.
1. Abdominal Flabbiness (The "Sad Belly Button" Effect)
Very common after pregnancy or weight loss and fluctuations, the skin of the abdomen loses firmness, creating a wrinkled appearance around the navel. The platform treats the deep dermis of this area, restoring tension to the abdominal wall and tightening sagging skin.
2. The Fat of the "Bra" and Flanks
Those small accumulations of fat that bulge out of underwear on the back or sides of the waist are ideal for this treatment. The energy destroys the localized fat and, simultaneously, prevents sagging in the treated area.
3. The Inner Thighs and Knee Fat
The inner thighs are an area of thin skin prone to sagging and cellulite. The device works by improving skin firmness in the area and reducing accumulated fat on the inner thighs, resulting in more shapely legs.
4. Sagging Arms
The sagging of the triceps skin, visible when waving, is a complaint that is difficult to resolve with exercise alone. The treatment tightens the deep connective tissue, tightening the skin of the arm and restoring firmness to the dermis.
FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions about Ultraformer
1. What does Ultraformer primarily treat in the face and neck area?
In the facial and cervical region, Ultraformer primarily treats muscle and skin laxity, loss of jawline definition, double chin, drooping eyelids, crow's feet, and fine lines on the neck and décolleté, promoting overall restructuring and a lifting effect .
2. Does Ultraformer treat localized fat permanently like liposuction?
Ultraformer treats localized fat permanently in the selected area, inducing apoptosis (programmed cell death) of fat cells. While Ultraformer is excellent for small to moderate fat deposits without the recovery time of liposuction, it does not replace surgery in cases of large volumes of fat.
3. In the case of acne scars or open pores, what does Ultraformer treat in this regard?
In addition to addressing structural sagging, Ultraformer treats the texture of the superficial dermis when programmed with shallower transducers. The collagen stimulation generated by Ultraformer helps to reorganize scar tissue, reducing the appearance of acne scars and closing enlarged pores.
4. Does Ultraformer treat cellulite and sagging skin on the buttocks and thighs?
Yes, Ultraformer treats cellulite associated with tissue laxity in the buttocks and thighs. By increasing collagen density in the dermis and fibrous septa, Ultraformer improves the "orange peel" appearance and lifts sagging tissues in the subgluteal area.
