I’ll admit that I’m slightly cowardice when it comes to trying to certain treatments given I have never experienced laser, injectables or facial peels to date. Whether it be due to the required downtime or the pain that can be associated with some procedures. When the opportunity to test the Ultraformer III – a non-invasive, quick and painless skin tightening treatment – arrived at my inbox during Afterpay Australian Fashion Week (a stressful period indeed), I jumped at the opportunity to try it.
Using advanced South Korean ultrasound technology, the process takes between 25 and 45 minutes and can assist in lifting and tightening loose skin, contouring the jawline, decreasing lines and wrinkles, creating an eye lift and even contouring the body. It took about two weeks before I noticed a change which began to manifest in a lift around my under eyer where I asked the treatment to be targeted.
By week four I’ve noticed that my skin is looking plumper which is ideal for me as I don’t wear much makeup and rely more on cleansing and moisturising day and night. Media personality Kate Waterhouse describes the treatment as her “set and forget beauty treatment” which is fitting with an improvement rate in the skin occurring for up to 12 weeks.
As I notice my skin continue to improve, here Waterhouse talks us through the treatment further.
What is the main difference with the Ultraformer treatment as opposed to others you’ve tried?
“I first tried Ultraformer III because I was looking for something that would help with collagen production for that bouncy, youthful skin look. I have tried other treatments that focus on that that have been far more painful.”
How exactly does the Ultraformer rejuvenate your skin?
“The Ultraformer uses deep dermal micro-heating and contraction for a multi-layered lifting, tightening and rejuvenation effect. It promotes maximum collagen production meaning plumper, tighter more youthful skin.”
What kind of results did you notice with your skin?
“I notice plumper, tighter skin and more definition around my cheekbones and jawline.”
What areas of your face does the treatment target?
“I targeted my jawline and under the chin to tighten that area. And then I concentrated under my eyes to enhance collagen and minimise fine lines.”
The research suggests results can be instant, but often it can take up to 4 weeks when you really see a lift and tighten appearance. How quickly did you notice a change and did it improve over time?
“I definitely noticed a difference straight away, but I continued to see results for the next month.”
How regularly do you have the treatment?
“I have had the treatment twice. I will try and maintain it once a year.”
Any side effects?
“No, no real side effects. There is no downtime – I was able to resume my normal day and activities straight away.”
Can anyone try Ultraformer lll and is widely available to the public yet?
“Yes, many beauty clinics offer the treatment.”
Would you recommend Ultraformer lll to your friends and colleagues?
“Yes, for sure. Especially to people who are looking for collagen production and that tightening and lifting effect.”
Outside of the Ultraformer III, how do you look after your skin?
“I am all about looking after my skin. I use moisturisers and serums day and night, and I try to book into a facial every six weeks. With my work I’m always in front of the camera with a full face of makeup. I find if my skin is in good condition I need less makeup, and the makeup on goes easier and sits better on my skin.”
What is the best piece of beauty advice your mum gave you?
To look after my skin! I have had a skin routine of cleansing and moisturising day and night since I was 16. She always taught me the importance of sunscreen too and staying out of the sun.
