About each option
- Ulthera
- the original from the USA. It delivers focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen in the muscle layer, the skin and fine lines. A live scan of the skin layers on screen helps the doctor aim the energy more precisely. Backed by a large body of research.
- Ultraformer III
- from Korea. Lifts, softens wrinkles, contours the face and stimulates collagen. Adjustable depths and cartridges; less painful than older HIFU.
- Ultracel Q+
- from Korea. Targets the SMAS with rows of small heat points so it contracts and builds collagen. Its linear mode is more comfortable and can be used both for fat and for plumper skin.
- Volnewmer
- a new monopolar RF device from Korea at 6.78 MHz. It heats the dermis for firmer, plumper skin without affecting deep fat.
- Oligio X
- monopolar RF from Korea with two energy modes (shallow and deep). Less pain, faster treatment, new collagen, firmer skin, smaller-looking pores, and care for cheek and chin fat.

Frequently asked questions
How is Ulthera different from other HIFU devices?
Ulthera shows a live scan of the skin layers, which helps the doctor deliver energy to the right depth. Other devices have different strengths, such as comfort or flexible modes. The doctor recommends the right one for your skin.
Does lifting treatment hurt?
You may feel heat or tightness in some spots. We apply numbing cream first, and some devices have more comfortable modes.
Is there downtime?
Usually you can return to your normal day. Some people have mild redness or swelling. The doctor gives aftercare advice.
