Ultraformer III HIFU led by Lilian Botros at Derma Cosmetika​ in Melbourne

It is ideal for men and women noticing mild to moderate skin laxity, jowls, sagging around the neck, or a loss of facial firmness. It is a perfect non-surgical alternative for those wanting natural lifting results with zero downtime.

The device uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver precise thermal waves into varying layers of the skin, including the deep SMAS muscle layer. This energy heats the tissue to 65–75°C, triggering immediate tissue contraction and kickstarting natural, long-term collagen production.

Most clients feel a warm tingling or a mild aching sensation along the jawline or bony areas. To maximize your comfort, we advise taking two paracetamol tablets 30 minutes before your appointment, and our team can apply a topical numbing cream to ensure the treatment is highly tolerable.

You will notice an immediate slight lifting and firming effect right after your session. Because your body goes through a natural collagen regeneration process, your full, definitive results will continuously improve and peak over the following 3 to 6 months.

Ultraformer can be used to lift areas including:

Eyebrows, hooded eyelids, cheeks, under chin (double chin), neck, décolletage, as well as the hips, thighs, lower legs, arms and abdomen.

30–60 minutes depending on treated areas.

At Derma Cosmetika, we use the latest Ultraformer III HIFU technology to effectively target and eliminate stubborn fat under the chin, sculpting a more defined jawline without surgery or downtime.

How It Works

✔ Precision Fat Reduction: The 6mm cartridge delivers focused ultrasound energy deep into the fat layer beneath the chin, bypassing the skin’s surface for targeted results.
✔ Breakdown & Elimination : The ultrasound energy heats fat cells to 60–70°C, triggering a natural breakdown process. Over the next 6–12 weeks, your body’s lymphatic system gradually eliminates these damaged fat cells.
✔ Skin Tightening & Firming: Along with fat reduction, Ultraformer III stimulates collagen production, helping to tighten and firm the skin, ensuring a smooth and youthful contour.

With no downtime, this advanced treatment offers a non-invasive solution to stubborn under-chin fat, leaving you with a beautifully sculpted and youthful appearance.

Before you have your treatment, we’ll firstly invite you in for a consultation to discuss the areas you would like to treat, and your suitability for treatment, taking your medical history into account. We’ll then clean and sterilise and mark out the treatment area. We then use a series of Ultraformer device attachments, dependent on the skin depth being treated. Ultrasound will be delivered to the skin, causing the muscles to contract. Collagen production is also initiated, resulting in the lifting and tightening of the skin.

The whole treatment takes between 30 minutes – 1 hour, and is especially great for those with very busy schedules who need a fast treatment. No downtime is required either, and you can resume your normal activities straight away.

Ultraformer 3 is the medical device brand that uses HIFU technology. HIFU stands for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. 

Both systems utilise medical-grade HIFU technology. However, Ultraformer III delivers ultrasound energy much faster, making your treatment time 1.5 to 2 times quicker and significantly more comfortable than traditional Ultherapy, while offering matching structural lifting results at a more accessible cost.
