Ultraformer III is a popular skin-lifting device because it can tighten the face, stimulate collagen production, and reduce sagging caused by aging. It is also a technology that lifts and firms the skin without surgery and requires no downtime.
For those interested in this treatment, you may still have questions such as: Does it hurt? How long does it take to see results? Or who is it suitable for? This article gathers 10 common questions about Ultraformer III for beginners who want to understand clearly before starting. Let’s take a look.
Does Ultraformer III hurt?
Ultraformer III uses Focused Ultrasound energy delivered deep into the SMAS layer to stimulate new collagen production and lift the skin. At MEGA CLINIC, every case is performed by a doctor. During the treatment, you may feel a slight tightness, warmth, or mild pricking sensation in some areas, which is normal as the energy is delivered into the skin.
There is no need for downtime after the procedure. You can resume your daily activities immediately. Some people may experience slight swelling, tenderness, or mild discomfort when touching the skin, depending on individual sensitivity. These symptoms usually improve within 1–2 weeks and are not harmful.
Review of Ultraformer III
How long does it take to see results from Ultraformer III?
After the treatment, you may see immediate results of about 10–20%, and the results will gradually improve over time. Collagen production becomes more active within 1–2 months, and the results typically last around 6–8 months. After that, the skin will gradually relax naturally, but it will not return to its original level of sagging, as collagen has been stimulated to help slow down aging and prolong firmness.
To maintain longer-lasting results, it is recommended to repeat the treatment every 2–6 months, depending on skin condition and the doctor’s advice.
Who is Ultraformer III suitable for?
It is suitable for those with sagging skin concerns in areas such as the face, cheeks, double chin, drooping eyebrows, drooping eyelids, or an unclear jawline, including wrinkles on the forehead, crow’s feet, deep lines, and folds on the neck. The device helps lift and tighten the skin, making it smoother and more youthful.
It also stimulates new collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, resulting in stronger skin and helping to delay future wrinkles. For those who are starting to notice signs of sagging, visible improvements can be seen, such as firmer skin and a more defined jawline, without surgery or downtime.
Can you do Ultraformer III if you have acne?
In general, having acne is not a contraindication for Ultraformer III, as the device uses ultrasound energy that penetrates deep into the skin without affecting the outer layer and does not trigger new acne.
However, if there is severe inflammation or specific skin conditions, it is recommended to treat them first. If unsure, you can consult a doctor to assess your skin and recommend the most suitable approach before treatment.
How many types of cartridges does Ultraformer III have?
All cartridges stimulate collagen production, but they differ in the depth of energy delivery. There are three types:
2.0 mm (Cherry Pink)
- Targets the superficial skin layer
- Suitable for fine lines that are not deep, such as under the eyes, forehead, and between the eyebrows
3.0 mm
- Targets the middle skin layer
- Helps reduce fat under the skin while lifting and tightening the face and reducing sagging at the same time
4.5 mm
- Delivers energy to the SMAS layer, the same layer targeted in surgical facelifts
- Used for lifting the cheeks, double chin, neck, and jawline for more noticeable lifting results
How many shots are needed for Ultraformer III?
Ultraformer III can be performed at different energy levels. The doctor will assess each area of the skin to determine the appropriate number of shots:
- 200 shots – Targeted areas, minor skin improvement
- 400 shots – Lifting cheeks, reducing double chin, refining jawline
- 800 shots – Full-face lifting
- 1,200 shots – Full-face lifting with contouring and wrinkle improvement

Feeling dry skin after Ultraformer III
Dryness or tightness after Ultraformer III can occur temporarily due to the high-intensity energy delivered deep into the skin to stimulate collagen, which may slightly reduce moisture in the early stage. It can be managed easily by:
- Using a gentle moisturizer suitable for your skin
- Drinking enough water daily to maintain skin hydration
What should be avoided after Ultraformer III?
Avoid direct sun exposure and always apply sunscreen before going out to protect the skin and support collagen recovery beneath the skin.
Are there other lifting devices besides Ultraformer III?
At MEGA CLINIC, there are two additional lifting devices available: Thermage and Oligio, which are selected based on individual needs, level of concern, and budget.
Thermage is suitable for those with fat accumulation in areas such as the forehead, cheeks, double chin, and neck. It uses radiofrequency energy to deliver heat deep into the fat layer, helping to reduce fat while stimulating new collagen production. It is suitable for those with wrinkles, deep lines, or subcutaneous fat who want noticeable results without frequent treatments.
Oligio Program is a newer lifting device from Korea, often referred to as “Korean Thermage,” as it also uses radiofrequency energy. It can deliver energy to three layers of the skin: the epidermis, dermis, and fat layer. Its key features include a cooling system, vibration, and real-time temperature sensors, which help reduce discomfort. It is also more affordable, making it a good option for those who want to start lifting treatments.
