Operating principle
SMAS lifting is carried out using a modern high-tech Ultraformer III device. Its work is based on innovative Micro Macro Focused Ultrasound, or MMFU, technology.
A noticeable lifting effect without surgery is achieved due to the influence of ultrasound on the muscular aponeurotic system. The Ultraformer device generates high-intensity ultrasonic waves, the vibration frequency of which is 4 and 7 MHz. Under their influence, zones of local heating of tissues are formed at different depths - 1.5, 4.5 and 3.0 mm. As a result of thermocoagulation, the tissue contracts, which leads to increased production of its own collagen.
The focused wave acts precisely on certain areas of the face and neck. Thanks to this, only the problem area is treated. The results of the Ultraformer procedure are noticeable immediately and increase over the course of several months after the session.
Technology
HIFU technology is a hardware tightening at the SMAS level: an effect on special muscles woven into the skin, which actually create the skin frame. The impact occurs using ultrasonic pulses. The ultraformer, unlike its analogues, is the most painless option. After the procedure, you will not be bothered by swelling, crusts, burning, or peeling of the skin. The Renew clinic employs doctors with extensive experience. We will select an individual program and make your dreams come true. The Ultraformer provides absolutely comfortable procedures thanks to a unique sensor developed by Classys/ Many patients say that the procedure on the Ultraformer, compared to other hardware SMAS lifting techniques, is almost painless
Advantages
Ultrasonic SMAS facelift using Ultraformer is aimed at preserving youth and increasing skin tone. After the procedure, it becomes smoother and more elastic, and takes on a healthy appearance. The main advantages of ultrasonic lifting using the Ultraformer device are:
- high level of safety - only certain areas of the skin are exposed;
- only 1 procedure once a year;
- no rehabilitation period - no recovery required, no need to change your usual lifestyle;
- the possibility of performing at any time of the year and combining with other cosmetological techniques;
- long-term result - due to stimulation of collagen synthesis, the effect will increase over 3-5 months;
- affordable cost - lifting with the Ultraformer device is cheaper than plastic surgery..
Breakthrough in the field of rejuvenation: SMAS lifting Ultraformer
SMAS lifting using the Ultraformer III device is a highly effective method of focused ultrasound that achieves non-surgical tissue tightening in the face and body by activating the skin’s own resources, collagen, elastin, and fibroblasts. Without rehabilitation, without anesthesia, the procedure can be performed all year round!
Advantages of Ultraformer III SMAS lifting
- Just one Ultraformer procedure provides excellent tissue tightening results. The rejuvenation effect increases within 3 months and remains noticeable for 2 years.
- Ultraformer is the pinnacle in the field of SMAS lifting. The new ultrasound technology is ahead of all similar devices of the previous generation.
- Replaces plastic surgery. Ultraformer allows the doctor to work effectively at the level of target structures—SMAS of the lower layers of the dermis. Until recently, they could only be affected by plastic surgery.
- All possible risks associated with surgery are excluded: there is no recovery period, the possibility of infection and infection is completely excluded, the result is completely predictable.
- A wide selection of attachments allows you to work at different tissue depths, which allows for an individual approach to each patient.
Due to its effectiveness and safety, ultrasonic SMAS lifting technology using the ULTRAFORMER III device has been approved by the regulatory body of the European Union (CE), the USA (FDA) and Rospotrebnadzor of the Russian Federation (No. RZN 2016/4883)
At what age and to whom is SMAS lifting using the Ultraformer III device indicated?
If you are already 35 years old, and other methods do not bring the desired result of rejuvenation; deep nasolabial folds have appeared, gravitational ptosis in the lower third of the face, the skin in the upper eyelid area droops and hernias in the lower eyelid area are noticeable, you are worried about a double chin, the larynx bags in the cheekbone area have become pronounced, the oval of the face is not clear and the loss of tissue tone is all These are indications for the Ultraformer SMAS lifting procedure at the Epimed clinic.
But, in addition to face lifting, Ultraformer works great for modeling. If you have long dreamed of a sculpted, beautiful face with correct proportions, then the doctors at the Epimed clinic will make your dream come true. Thanks to the special technique of working with the device and our experienced doctors, everything is possible at the Epimed clinic.
How does Ultraformer III work?
Ultrasonic tightening with focused ultrasound replaces a trip to the surgeon and literally re-threads the tissue at the level of the muscle layer.
Focused ultrasound forms coagulation zones, triggers neocollagenesis, stimulates cell regeneration and microcirculation, thereby providing a scaffolding and supporting function. Result after SMAS lifting with Ultraformer III: - Lifting of the forehead, eyebrows, upper and lower eyelids - Tightening of the skin in the cheek area, smoothing of nasolabial folds - Clarity of the cheekbones - Formation of the facial contour
After reading this article, you probably have questions? We will answer the most exciting ones now, and you will learn about everything else during a consultation with a doctor at the Epimed clinic.
So, this is definitely the first question most people have - does it hurt? Answer: The patient may experience minor discomfort, but overall the procedure is painless. This is one of the key advantages compared to its predecessors.
Rehabilitation period? There is none; after the procedure there may be slight redness, which will go away in a maximum of 1-2 hours after applying a soothing mask. Some patients may experience slight swelling in the affected area, which resolves within 48 hours. After the procedure at the Epimed clinic, you can return to your normal lifestyle. How does Ultraformer ultrasonic SMAS lifting differ from the Ulthera System device (Altera)?
The Ulthera device is considered the first device of its kind that was used for SMAS lifting, while synthesizing new collagen. Almost 10 years have passed since Alter appeared, but technology does not stand still and is constantly evolving. Ultraformer III combines all the new technologies. With Alter, the impact point is 1 mm, while with Ultraformer it is only 0.3 mm, which ensures a comfortable procedure and eliminates pain. In addition, the device has a targeted effect on the vessels, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the vessel walls. Unlike Alter, work on the Ultraformer takes place in a continuous mode, and the ultrasonic wave feed rate is higher - this affects the speed of the procedure. Altera works only on the face, while Ultraformer has limitless possibilities for working with the body, namely, to correct areas: arms, hips, buttocks, inner thighs, abdomen and sides.
Can Ultraformer be combined with other procedures? Of course, Ultraformer goes well with complex programs for rejuvenation and correction of aesthetic imperfections. Epimed clinic doctors will create a comprehensive rejuvenation program for you, taking into account your wishes.
The cost of the procedure depends on the number of treatment zones with the Ultraformer device and your wishes!

Opinion of leading doctors of the world
Dr. Klaus Fritz MD (Germany)
“When using Ultraformer with three different cartridges, an immediate skin tightening effect is visible, acting at the SMAS level, which is located approximately 4.5 mm deep within the dermis. Plastic surgery is considered one of the options for skin tightening, but now, using Ultraformer laser technologies, you can achieve almost the same effect without surgery. My patients and I myself are very satisfied with the clinical results of the treatment.”
Dr. Franko Lauro (Italy)
“The skin firming effect of using Ultraformer is unique. I worked with medical devices before I knew about HIFU machines. Laser has limitations in terms of clinical results and side effects. Ultraformer perfectly strengthens and tightens the skin using HIFU technology, which makes it possible to create a maximum targeted flow of ultrasound energy to specific areas, especially the SMAS level.”
Dr. Jean-Louis Sebagh (London)
“I have been using the Ultraformer for a year now and am very pleased with the clinical results. I believe that Ultraformer will cause a sea change in skin lifting. Before HIFU technology was introduced, injections and plastic surgery were used to tighten the skin. Now you can achieve much better results without surgery. I am proud to be one of Ultraformer2's largest customers."
How is a facelift performed on an Ultraformer?
Immediately before the procedure begins, the doctor adjusts the device, setting the optimal penetration depth of ultrasonic waves. At the next stage, the skin is cleansed of care/decorative cosmetics, dust/dirt particles and sebaceous secretions. Next, the doctor applies markings to the correction zones indicating the “lines” along which the device’s attachment will move. Then a conductor composition is applied to the skin, which improves the penetration of ultrasonic waves and the sliding of the device nozzle over the surface of the skin. Directed ultrasound, penetrating to a given depth, is converted into thermal energy and triggers the production of natural collagen and elastin. At the end of the procedure, a soothing cream/gel is applied to the re-cleansed facial skin.

Reviews
I have a gravitational type of aging. I signed up for the Ultraformer procedure to remove jowls and an emerging double chin. After the session there was only slight redness. Now, two months later, I notice how the oval shape of my face is returning to me, like in my youth. The only drawback of sessions is the price.

Client, Moscow
I am 36 years old, and my problem is drooping eyelids. I am afraid of blepharoplasty, like any surgical operation. I decided to undergo the Ultraformer procedure because I trust the Koreans - they have good machines. The course was expensive because they did 300 lines on my eyes in the first session and 200 in the second. But I noticed the result as soon as the swelling went down after the procedure. It really opened my eyes.

Client, Moscow
I decided to undergo SMAS lifting to remove the effects of smoking and beer abuse. At first, the effect after the procedures impressed me: my face tightened and became fresher. For three months the results only increased, and I was happy. And after six months it faded away. My opinion now is that Ultraformer is a waste of money. Plastic surgery, Botox and manual massage provide a longer lasting effect.
Alexei
Client, Sochi
I went for the procedures with a friend using her coupon. I wasn’t really expecting any results, because I had done an anti-cellulite massage before, and it didn’t help me. I made 1000 lines on my stomach to remove fat and improve skin tone. After 2 months my fat was gone! For 49 thousand rubles and an hour and a half, I got many months of happiness with a good figure!
Alice
Client, Krasnodar
I believe that the Korean Ultraformer is better than the American Ulther in all respects. And the procedure is cheaper and works on the body, unlike the American one. I recommend this procedure to everyone under 50 years old. Later, it seems to me, there will be no result. If in doubt, try on small areas first. I personally started with eyelids.
