Ultraformer III
Ultraformer III is a new-generation HIFU device that works with greater precision and consistency, delivering a stronger effect. It provides excellent results for both the face and body.
- Lifts and tightens the skin
- Improves facial and body contours
- Helps reduce subcutaneous fat
Why choose Ultraformer III?
Precise and effective
Advanced HIFU technology allows for greater precision, resulting in more consistent and noticeable outcomes.
Rejuvenates and firms
Ultrasound energy works across superficial and deeper layers, smoothing wrinkles while tightening and firming the skin.
Reduces fat and shapes
By targeting fat cells, Ultraformer III helps create more defined and balanced contours for the face and body.
How does Ultraformer III work?
Ultraformer III is a non-invasive HIFU device that tightens the skin and improves both facial and body contours.
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) uses ultrasound energy to target different skin layers, including the subcutaneous fat layer.
- Ultrasound energy targets cells within specific skin layers through controlled heat
- This stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin
- Collagen and elastin improve skin elasticity, forming the basis of a more youthful appearance
You’ll notice changes immediately, while the full effect develops over time. In most cases, one treatment is sufficient.
More about the technology
The advantage of Ultraformer III lies in its precision. The device uses a range of cartridges that target different depths within the skin. This allows specific concerns to be addressed and both facial and body areas to be treated in the most suitable way.
- 1.5 mm cartridge (7 MHz) – for the superficial skin layer, suitable for tightening the skin around the eyes and mouth
- 3.0 mm cartridge (7 MHz) – for deeper skin layers, suitable for achieving a lifting effect on the cheeks, jawline and neck
- 4.5 mm cartridge (4 MHz) – for the SMAS layer, suitable for tightening more significantly lax skin on the chin, neck and face
- 6.0–9.0 mm cartridges (2 MHz) – for subcutaneous fat, suitable for targeting fat cells and tightening the skin on the abdomen, thighs and arms
- 13.0 mm cartridge (2 MHz) – for deeper fat tissue, suitable for targeting fat cells in areas with thicker fat deposits, such as the abdomen and hips

Ultraformer III for the face
A surgical facelift allows wrinkles to be smoothed while tightening skin that has started to lose firmness with age. Ultraformer III targets the same deep layer (SMAS) that is addressed during a surgical facelift – but without surgery or a lengthy recovery.
- Smooths wrinkles around the eyes
- Smooths forehead lines
- Reduces deeper folds around the mouth
- Helps lift and define the facial contour
- Tightens loose skin on the cheeks and around the mouth
- Helps reduce subcutaneous fat in the facial area
In most cases, one treatment is sufficient, with results continuing to improve over time. The first changes are visible immediately.
Ultraformer III for the body
On the body, Ultraformer III works in two ways. It helps break down fat cells, reducing subcutaneous fat, while also tightening the skin in the treated area. This dual effect delivers a more balanced and visible result.
Ultraformer III can help to:
- slim and firm the abdomen
- reduce “love handles”
- shape the buttocks
- tighten loose skin on the arms and underarms
- slim and smooth the thighs
The effect develops over time. In most cases, one treatment is sufficient. Depending on the thickness of the fat layer and the degree of skin laxity, a repeat treatment may be recommended.
Results: Before and After
Ultraformer III vs. standard HIFU
Ultraformer III and standard HIFU devices work on the same principle. As a newer technology, Ultraformer III offers several advantages.
- More precise targeting – Ultraformer III uses multiple applicators that allow ultrasound energy to be delivered very accurately to the desired depth. While older HIFU devices also use different applicators, their treatment zones are not defined with the same level of precision.
- More noticeable results – increased precision leads to more effective and visible outcomes
- More comfortable procedure – while HIFU is not considered painful, many clients find Ultraformer III more comfortable
The procedure
The Ultraformer III treatment is quick and generally well tolerated.
- A special gel is first applied to the skin
- The specialist treats the area using the appropriate cartridge
- The treatment takes approximately 40–90 minutes, depending on the area
- You may feel light pricking, mild vibration and gentle tingling
- Mild redness may occur but usually subsides quickly
You’ll notice initial changes immediately, while full results develop within 2–3 months.
Results typically last between 6 and 12 months.
After the procedure
Follow these simple guidelines after the Ultraformer III treatment to help ensure the best possible results.
- Avoid sun exposure on the treated area for 1–2 weeks
- Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when outdoors
- Keep the skin well hydrated with products containing hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and/or antioxidants
- Avoid products containing fruit acids or retinol immediately after treatment
- Drink enough water to support the skin’s recovery
- Avoid intense physical activity, saunas and hot baths for one week
- Do not use strong chemical or exfoliating products until the skin has fully healed
Contraindications
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Cancer or ongoing oncological conditions
- Severe chronic illnesses (e.g. heart failure)
- Blood clotting disorders
- Epilepsy
- Pacemaker or metal implants
- Open wounds or skin damage
- Active acne or herpes
- Cystic acne in the treatment area
- Autoimmune diseases
- Use of anticoagulants or steroids
Conditions that require prior consultation:
- Diabetes
- Keloid scarring
NB! If you have recently had filler injections or thread lifts, wait 2–4 weeks before undergoing an Ultraformer III facial treatment.
Frequently asked questions
HIFU refers to the technology, while Ultraformer III is a specific device that uses it. All Ultraformer III devices are based on HIFU, but not all HIFU devices are Ultraformer III. A simple comparison: all iPhones are smartphones, but not all smartphones are iPhones.
Ultraformer III is an advanced development of HIFU, allowing more precise targeting of ultrasound energy. This leads to more predictable and visible results.
Not really. You may feel light pricking or tingling, but on a scale of 1 to 10, discomfort is typically around 2.

If you’re unsure whether Ultraformer III is the right option, start with a free consultation.
The number of treatments depends on your skin condition and desired result. In most cases, one treatment is sufficient. Results develop over time and reach their full effect within 2–3 months.
If the skin is more significantly lax or the fat layer is thicker, a repeat treatment may be recommended.
Results typically last 6–12 months, after which maintenance treatments are advised.
This depends on the device. High-quality HIFU devices can also deliver good results, and Decus uses advanced HIFU technology as well. However, Ultraformer III generally provides better outcomes due to its higher precision.
Its range of cartridges makes it especially effective for body contouring. In addition to tightening the skin, it can also reduce subcutaneous fat and help shape the body.
Standard HIFU devices can also affect fat tissue, but less precisely, as they cannot target ultrasound energy as accurately or as deeply.
Ultraformer III is valued for delivering noticeable results without an invasive approach.
- No need for surgical procedures or long recovery times
- You can return to your daily activities immediately after the procedure
- Compared to earlier HIFU technologies, the treatment is more comfortable and less painful
- In most cases, only one treatment is needed, with results lasting 6–12 months
- Compared to surgical alternatives, it is significantly more affordable
As a non-invasive treatment, Ultraformer III is not designed for weight loss or major body transformation. However, it is an excellent option when weight loss is already in progress and additional contouring is needed.
It also helps target stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise.
A double chin is not always related to excess weight, and Ultraformer III can help improve its appearance.
Ultraformer III can be combined with most aesthetic treatments and is often used alongside Botox, dermal fillers or thread lifts.
It is important to allow a 2–4 week interval between filler or thread procedures and Ultraformer III. A consultation will help determine the best timing and treatment plan.
After treatment, temporary redness, mild swelling, sensitivity or a sensation similar to light muscle soreness may occur. These are normal and typically resolve quickly.
Less commonly, minor bruising, numbness or tingling may occur. These effects can last up to a couple of weeks but usually resolve on their own.
More serious side effects, such as nerve irritation, burns or uneven results, are rare and usually related to incorrect settings or lack of experience. At Decus, all specialists are fully trained to perform this treatment safely. You’re in safe and experienced hands.
