Ultraformer III is a HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) device that delivers focused energy to tighten skin and stimulate collagen. It works on the same ultrasound principle as Ulthera but at a more accessible price point. It is one of the most popular entry-level device treatments for patients new to non-surgical lifting.
Both use HIFU technology, but Ulthera has FDA clearance and uses micro-focused ultrasound with real-time visualization of tissue layers. Ultraformer uses macro-focused ultrasound without imaging. Ulthera delivers more precise energy at deeper levels. Ultraformer is approximately 50-70% less expensive and works well for mild to moderate concerns.
Standard Ultraformer protocols use 200 shots (targeted area), 400 shots (standard face), or 600 shots (comprehensive face and neck). At VERZO CLINIC, the most popular protocol is 400 shots for full-face treatment, averaging approximately 19,500 THB.
Ultraformer III at VERZO CLINIC averages approximately 19,500 THB, making it the most accessible lifting device treatment. With 222 transactions and 4.3M THB total revenue, it is our most popular first-visit device treatment — 83 new patients chose Ultraformer as their entry point to device-based lifting.
Choose Ultraformer if: you are trying device-based lifting for the first time, your budget is limited, you have mild skin laxity, or you want to test the HIFU experience before committing to premium Ulthera. Choose Ulthera if: you have moderate to significant sagging, want the deepest lifting possible, or prioritize maximum longevity.
Ultraformer results typically last 6-12 months. Collagen stimulation continues for 2-3 months after treatment. Results are more modest than Ulthera but meaningful for the price point. Maintenance every 6-9 months keeps results ongoing.
Ultraformer discomfort is moderate — most patients rate it 3-5 out of 10. It is generally less painful than Ulthera because the energy delivery is less focused. Numbing cream is applied before treatment. The procedure takes 30-45 minutes.
Consider upgrading when: you have experienced Ultraformer and want stronger results, your skin laxity has progressed beyond what Ultraformer can address, or you want longer-lasting results (12-18 months vs 6-12 months). Dr. Waleerat can assess whether upgrading is worthwhile during your follow-up visit.
