Ultraformer III Before and After – A Non-Surgical Neck and Face Lift Explained

You can take good care of your skin – invest in the right products, stay consistent, wear your sunscreen – and still feel let down by your neck.

It’s one of the most common concerns we see in clinic.

The skin through the neck and jawline is finer and more delicate than the face. It also tends to be treated differently – often overlooked in daily skincare, and more exposed to movement, posture, and environmental stress over time. Gradually, this can show up as softening, creasing, and a loss of definition along the jawline.

Even when your skin still looks fresh and well cared for, the neck can feel like it’s not matching the rest of the skin on your face.

Why the Neck Is Often the First Area to Show Ageing

The neck behaves differently to the face, both structurally and functionally.

• The skin is thinner and more prone to creasing
• There are fewer oil glands, which means it can become dry more easily
• It’s exposed to constant movement and postural strain
• It’s often missed when applying sunscreen and active skincare

Over time, these factors contribute to a gradual loss of firmness and definition – particularly through the lower face and jawline.

As these changes become more noticeable, the question naturally becomes – what can be done to support the skin and restore a sense of structure and definition?

What Is Ultraformer III?

Ultraformer III is a non-surgical treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy (HIFU) to target deeper layers of the skin.

Unlike topical skincare, which works on the surface, this technology delivers energy beneath the skin to areas involved in structural support. This process helps stimulate the skin’s natural regenerative response, including collagen production.

The result is a gradual lifting and firming effect – without disrupting the surface of the skin.

What Can Ultraformer Improve?

Ultraformer III is commonly used to support:

• Jawline definition
• Skin laxity through the lower face and neck
• Softening around the mouth and chin
• A heavy or downward facial expression
• Mild drooping through the brow or eyelid area

It can be tailored to treat specific areas, or performed as a full face and neck treatment for a more comprehensive result.

Ultraformer III Before and After – What Changes Can You Expect?

When we talk about Ultraformer before and after results, what you’ll notice is not a dramatic overnight change, but a gradual improvement in firmness and definition over time.

One of the key benefits of Ultraformer III is that results develop gradually and naturally.

You may notice some initial tightening, but the more visible changes occur over time as the skin responds.

• Early changes can be seen within a few weeks

• Results continue to improve over 3 to 4 months

• Skin appears firmer, more supported, and more defined

Common changes we see in clinic include:

• A more defined jawline

• Smoother transitions between the face and neck

• Softening of folds around the mouth

• Improved contour through the lower face

These changes are progressive rather than immediate, which is what gives Ultraformer III its natural-looking result.

The images below reflect the kind of changes we commonly see in clinic – particularly through the jawline and lower face, where definition and contour begin to soften over time.

Our Client: Post-Treatment – Jawline Definition & Lower Face Tightening

Timeline: Before treatment vs. 4 weeks post-treatment

The photo on the left shows our client before Ultraformer III. The photo on the right was taken just four weeks after a single Ultraformer III treatment.

In that time, she experienced:

• Improved definition along her jawline and profile
• A reduction in folds and softening of lines around the mouth
• A more refined and supported appearance through the lower face
• Tighter, smoother-looking skin across the chin and jaw

Results continue to build, with optimal outcomes typically seen at the three to four month mark.

Our Client: 1 Month Post-Treatment – Front & Side Profile

Timeline: Before treatment → immediately post-treatment → 1 month post-treatment

These images show the same client from the front and side angles at each stage of her journey. The left images show her before treatment, the middle immediately after, and the right at one month.

By the one-month mark, she had experienced:

• Softening of lines around the mouth
• Improved definition through the chin and jawline
• Reduction in fine lines across the lower face
• A smoother, more refined chin profile

These are the kinds of changes that people notice, without necessarily knowing why.

Can You Treat Just One Area?

Yes – Ultraformer can be used to target specific concerns, such as the eye area, jawline, or neck.

However, if your goal is overall lifting and balance, a full face and neck treatment often delivers a more cohesive result. Treating the face and neck together allows us to support the way these areas naturally connect.

What Makes Ultraformer III Different?

Ultraformer III is designed to deliver energy with precision and consistency.

Compared to earlier technologies, it offers:

• Faster treatment times
• Greater comfort during the procedure
• Targeted delivery across multiple skin depths
• Minimal disruption to the surface of the skin

This allows us to treat effectively while keeping the experience manageable and the recovery simple.

How Long Does It Take – and Is There Downtime?

A full face and neck treatment typically takes between 45 and 60 minutes.

There is little to no downtime. You can return to your normal activities straight after treatment.

Some clients experience mild tenderness or sensitivity in the treated areas, which usually settles quickly.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Most clients begin with one full treatment, followed by a review at around three months.

At that stage, we assess your results and determine whether a targeted follow-up treatment would be beneficial.

From there, maintenance treatments can be scheduled as needed, depending on your skin and your goals.

Is Ultraformer III a Replacement for Surgery?

No – and it’s important to be clear about that.

Surgical procedures and non-surgical treatments serve different purposes.

Ultraformer is best suited for those who are starting to notice changes in firmness and definition and want to support their skin without taking a surgical approach.

It’s about working with the skin – not dramatically altering it.

Is Ultraformer Right for You?

Every face is different, and so is every treatment plan.

At Select Skin, we take a personalised approach – looking at your skin, your concerns, and how your skin is behaving over time before recommending any treatment.

Ultraformer may be part of that plan, or it may be combined with other treatments to support your results more effectively.
