Focused-ultrasound devices

Device explainer

Ultraformer

Micro- and macro-focused ultrasound

A focused-ultrasound platform with cartridges designed for different treatment depths and face or body applications.

What distinguishes it

Ultraformer includes multiple model generations. Ask for the exact model, cartridge depth and intended treatment area.

How this technology works

Focused acoustic waves converge at planned points, producing small zones of thermal effect below the surface. Cartridge depth, line placement, energy and anatomy affect treatment delivery.

Risks, limits and uncertainty

  • Pain, swelling, bruising, altered sensation and temporary weakness have been reported.
  • Incorrect depth or placement can affect nerves or other structures.
  • A detailed history and anatomical assessment are important.
  • Focused ultrasound does not reproduce a surgical lift.
  • HIFU body contouring and microfocused ultrasound for skin laxity are not identical procedures.
  • Results and recovery vary, and anatomy matters.

Questions to take to a consultation

  • What exact device and handpiece will be used, and what is it intended to do?
  • Who will perform the treatment, and what training and experience do they have with this device?
  • What results are realistic for me, how many sessions may be discussed, and when would change be assessed?

Analytics and hosting information

Help us understand what people research and whether the directory works. If you allow anonymous product analytics, Aesthetics Australia records general actions and selected broad search categories, including state, concern, treatment and device. We do not record your words, suburb, postcode, clinic choices or a personal identifier. You can change this choice at any time.

Our additional first-party product events are off unless you choose to allow them. They do not use an analytics identifier or record clinic names, search words, suburb or postcode. A selected state, concern, treatment or device may be counted separately and is shown in clinic reporting only when at least 20 selections occur in a month.

Lovable hosts this website and its Visitor Analytics feature is enabled. Lovable may process technical and usage information such as IP address, approximate location, browser or device details, traffic source, pages or APIs visited, and timestamps under its terms and privacy documentation. This platform processing is separate from the preference above and may include which directory pages are visited.

We may also use clearly disclosed analytics, conversion-measurement and advertising providers in the future. These services may use cookies, pixels or similar technology to measure campaigns, conversions, audiences and repeat visits. Optional advertising or remarketing technology will require an appropriate preference control before activation. We do not intentionally send form contents, private account information, uploaded documents or direct contact details through analytics pixels.
