Ultraformer is a game changer for lifting, contouring, and tightening the face, neck and decolletage.

Have you noticed sagging skin around your jowls, jawline, and under the chin?

Troubled by loose skin around the eyelids or nasolabial folds, commonly known as “smile lines” or “laugh lines”?

If you’re looking to tighten skin, regain facial contours, and address fine lines and wrinkles, then you might be interested in a new cutting-edge ultrasound technology now available at Australian Skin Face Body Geelong and Ballart.

The Ultraformer MPT device offers a non-surgical solution for lifting, contouring, and tightening the face, neck, and décolletage.

So, how does the Ultraformer MPT work?

As we age, the dermis layer synthesises less collagen. The treatment uses a variety of ultrasound waves that cause minor inflammation and fibroplasia (the growth of tissue associated with wound healing), stimulating new collagen formation. Skin layers are targeted with focused energy, heating them to 60-70 degrees – the ideal range for collagen denaturing and micro tissue contraction. This typically creates a skin tightening effect and assists with wrinkle reduction.

Although heat is used, most patients find the treatment comfortable. Best of all, downtime is minimal, allowing most people to resume regular activities immediately.

The number of treatments required depends on the area being treated, with results often visible after just one session. As collagen regeneration continues, improvements can be seen for up to six months post treatment. With proper aftercare, benefits may last around a year. Really, it’s a set-and-forget treatment.

Dermal Clinician, Fiona Priddle says that the jowl area is the most commonly treated.  Fiona’s patients describe the results as providing a “supported, lifted effect” to the treated area.

Ultraformer is Geelong Nurse Injector, (NNMW0001108079) Lara Bain’s favourite treatment.  Lara may recommend the Ultraformer in combination with other treatments and this can be discussed with Lara at your next consultation on reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Australian Skin Face Body are highly trained in all forms of skin tightening, ranging from lasers, RF devices, and medical-grade deep peels, to PDO threads and surgical techniques.

We take into account your lifestyle, and goals to come up with a treatment plan just for you.

Ultraformer is available at our Ballarat and Geelong Skin & Laser Clinics.

Hair Reduction: Why Clarity II Laser Is the Clear Winner This Spring

Laser Hair Removal in Geelong & Ballarat: Why Clarity II Leads the Way

Not all hair removal methods are created equal. While shaving, waxing, or depilatory creams might be quick fixes, they’re often time-consuming and can lead to irritation, ingrown hairs, or thinning results. That’s where medical-grade laser hair removal comes in—and at ASFB we’ve raised the bar with the Lutronic Clarity II.

Why is laser hair removal so popular?

Instead of removing hair from the surface, laser targets the hair follicle itself. Over a series of sessions, this process significantly slows regrowth. Compared to instantaneous but temporary methods like shaving or painful waxing, laser offers far longer-lasting smoothness.

What makes the Clarity II special?

It uses a unique dual-wavelength system (755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG)perfectly tailored for treating all skin types safely and effectively. T

The built-in IntelliTrak™ technology ensures even, efficient coverage, while real-time temperature sensing and advanced cooling reduce any discomfort. And thanks to its larger spot sizes and fast repetition rates, treatment is both quick and efficient. 

IPL vs Laser: A quick breakdown

Unlike lasers, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) delivers a broad spectrum of light and is less precise—making laser hair reduction more targeted and effective. And unlike shaving or waxing, laser reduces hair growth over time and helps prevent common side effects like ingrown hairs.

Great news for you!

This Spring, we’ve made it easier to book laser hair reduction: Dianne Jarvis in Geelong and Stephanie Nunn in Ballarat have expanded appointment availability.

Because our hair removal treatments are so popular, you may see waitlists, so we’re thrilled to offer more access for our valued patients.

Tighten & Tone: The Rise of Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Treatments

The road to firmer, more youthful-looking skin doesn’t necessarily involve a scalpel.

Thanks to major advancements in non-surgical technologies – like ultrasound therapy, radiofrequency (RF), and fractional laser resurfacing – more people are opting for a subtle, refreshed, and more contoured appearance without the downtime or risks of surgery.

As early as our 30s, we begin to lose collagen and elastin – proteins that keep skin firm and elastic. This can lead to sagging around the jawline, eyelids, cheeks, or loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy. Australian Skin Face Body offers tailored, non-invasive solutions for both face and body.

Non-surgical treatments work in a multi-layer approach, with a combination of medical grade skincare for the top layer; lasers or skin-tightening devices for the deeper layers; and subtle treatments to restore structure down to the bone. This approach stems from a growing understanding that the face ages in layers, and that we need to address all of them to have a truly holistic approach.

For the face, the gamechanger Ultraformer MPT, uses ultrasound energy to lift and sculpt. This device provides a customised treatment procedure for the face, neck and decolletage using the very latest ultrasound technology. Popular treatment areas include contouring of the superficial jowl pads, reducing under chin fat and skin laxity.

Potenza combines RF energy with microneedling to boost collagen, tighten skin, and gradually improve laxity – ideal for mild to moderate sagging on the face and neck.

For overall skin rejuvenation, fractional CO2 laser resurfacing, tailored to your needs, can offer powerful improvements in texture, tone and pigmentation.

When it comes to body skin tightening, there are contouring solutions – targeting fat cells while tightening the overlying skin, improving tone and reducing skin laxity in areas like the stomach, thighs and arms.

With minimal recovery time, most of these treatments, will seamlessly fit into a busy lifestyle.

Consultations on reducing the appearance of wrinkles are also available with Plastic Surgeon, Mr Ian Holten (MED0001130662) and Nurse Practitioner, Lara Bain (NMW0001108079)
