ultraformer treatment
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound
Ultraformer uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver precise thermal energy to targeted tissue depths, stimulating collagen production, tightening lax skin, and disrupting adipocyte cells in areas of localised concern. The energy acts at the exact depth where the clinical problem originates, leaving the surrounding tissue entirely undisturbed.
​
At Reborne, Ultraformer is used for both facial and body applications - structural skin lifting and tightening where laxity is the primary concern, and targeted body contouring where fat reduction and skin firmness are the goal. Every protocol is individually designed following a clinical consultation. No surgery. No needles. No recovery time.
The Technology
How Focused Ultrasound Works
HIFU delivers ultrasound energy that converges at a precise focal point within the tissue, creating a controlled thermal injury at a targeted depth without affecting the surrounding skin or superficial layers. At the point of focus, temperatures reach 60-70°C for a fraction of a second. The tissue responds with a wound healing cascade: collagen denaturation followed by sustained new collagen synthesis over the months that follow.
​
Different transducer cartridges target different depths - from the superficial dermis for skin quality and fine lines, to the SMAS layer for structural lifting, to the subcutaneous fat layer for body contouring. This precision is what separates HIFU from surface-level energy devices: it acts at the exact tissue depth where the clinical problem originates.
Aesthetic Medicine
How the Procedure Works
A coupling gel is applied to the treatment area. The Ultraformer handpiece is passed systematically across the skin, delivering precisely focused ultrasound pulses to the target tissue depth. You will feel a series of brief, warm sensations as each pulse fires - most clients find the face protocol comfortable; body protocols over areas with less subcutaneous tissue can be more intense. No anaesthetic is required for most areas.
​
Treatment duration varies from 30 minutes for a focused area to 90 minutes for a full face and body protocol. There is no downtime - mild redness or swelling resolves within hours. You may return to normal activities immediately.
Treatment Experience
What to Expect
Some clients notice an immediate improvement in skin firmness following treatment as the initial thermal response contracts existing collagen. The primary benefit - new collagen synthesis, structural lifting, and visible tightening - develops progressively over three to six months as the biological remodelling response matures.
​
A single treatment produces measurable results for most clients. A second treatment at six to twelve months is recommended to sustain and build on the initial response. Body contouring results are enhanced by maintaining consistent hydration and supporting the lymphatic clearance of treated tissue - LPG lymphatic drainage at Reborne pairs well with Ultraformer body protocols for this reason.
Treatment Areas
Treatment Areas
Ultraformer is one of the most versatile non-invasive devices available - effective across the face, neck, and body for lifting, tightening, and contouring.
HIFU targets the SMAS layer of the skin, the same structural layer addressed in surgical facelifts, producing a genuine structural lift of the midface, jawline, and neck. Effective for early-to-moderate laxity where Morpheus8 alone may not reach sufficient depth, and for clients seeking a non-surgical lifting option with no downtime.
Targeting the submental and lower face SMAS, Ultraformer tightens the tissue responsible for jowling and jawline softening. For clients with early-to-moderate structural decline in the lower face, the combination of deep SMAS targeting and superficial skin tightening produces a clinically meaningful improvement in definition.
At subcutaneous depth, focused ultrasound destroys adipocyte cell membranes through thermal disruption, triggering a local inflammatory response that clears the treated fat cells over six to twelve weeks. Simultaneously, the overlying skin is tightened, addressing the laxity that can accompany fat reduction. Effective for localised areas that have not responded to diet and exercise alone.
Areas of skin laxity without significant excess fat, where the primary goal is skin tightening rather than volume reduction. HIFU stimulates deep dermal collagen remodelling, producing measurable improvements in skin firmness and texture in areas that respond poorly to topical treatments and surface-level energy devices.
The neck and décolletage respond well to the superficial and mid-dermal cartridges, improving skin quality, reducing horizontal lines, and addressing the early laxity changes that make these areas age visibly ahead of the face.
The same collagen synthesis cascade that HIFU triggers for lifting and contouring has broader cellular implications. Published research demonstrates that focused ultrasound activates heat shock proteins and upregulates cellular repair pathways - the same mechanisms implicated in cellular resilience and stress resistance. Skin collagen density is itself a validated marker of biological skin age. A treatment that measurably increases collagen density is, by definition, a treatment that measurably reduces biological skin age. At Reborne, Ultraformer is used as part of our wider longevity aesthetic programme alongside Red Light Therapy, Exosome Therapy, and Polynucleotides.

Is Ultraformer Right for Me?
Ultraformer is appropriate for adults with early-to-moderate skin laxity, localised areas of body contouring concern, or those seeking structural lifting without surgery or significant downtime. It is effective across all skin types.
​
Every client undergoes a medical aesthetic consultation before treatment. Your clinician will assess your anatomy, discuss your goals, and confirm whether Ultraformer alone or in combination with other treatments is the most appropriate approach for your situation.
