The main difference: seeing under the skin
Ultherapy shows the skin's layers on a screen during treatment, so the practitioner can confirm the depth before each line of energy. Ultraformer III delivers energy at fixed depths using interchangeable cartridges, which is faster and more affordable.
Which to choose
- Ultherapy: thinner or more complex areas, the brow and neck, or when you want the most precise single treatment
- Ultraformer III HIFU: face, jawline and body areas, maintenance, or when budget matters
- Either: early jowling, soft jawline, mild neck laxity
Comfort and recovery
Both feel like deep, short bursts of heat. Neither needs recovery time, and both can cause mild redness or tenderness for a few days.
