HIFU Skin Lifting (Ultraformer III)

Ultraformer III uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver energy into the deeper support layers of the skin, prompting collagen tightening for a non-surgical lifting effect on the face and neck. At Wegner Clinic it targets sagging along the jawline, sub-chin and neck without breaking the skin's surface, so there is minimal downtime. Each facial zone is clearly priced, with a full-face option for an all-over lift.

Ultraformer III is a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device that focuses ultrasound energy at precise depths beneath the skin, including the deeper foundational layer that surgeons tighten in a facelift. Heating these layers in tiny focal points is associated with contraction of existing collagen and stimulation of new collagen over the following months, producing a gradual firming and lifting effect — without cutting or removing skin, so the surface stays intact and downtime is minimal. At Wegner Clinic a session takes around forty-five to sixty minutes depending on the area. A gel is applied and the handpiece delivers the focused pulses; many people feel brief heat or a prickling sensation deeper in the tissue during treatment. Afterwards the skin may look slightly flushed and feel a little tender, but most people return to normal activities straight away. Because the lifting builds as collagen remodels, results develop over roughly two to three months and are commonly associated with around a year of effect before a maintenance session is considered. The clinic prices the face by zone — an upper-face area, a lower-face area focused on the jawline and chin, the sub-chin, neck and décolletage — with a full-face option for an all-over treatment. HIFU is best suited to mild-to-moderate skin laxity rather than significant sagging, which may be better addressed surgically; the clinician assesses suitability and which zones to treat at consultation, and it is avoided in pregnancy.
