HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a cutting-edge, non-invasive technology that delivers focused ultrasound energy beneath the skin to stimulate natural collagen and elastin production. At Millk, we use the Ultraformer III, one of the world’s leading and most advanced medical-grade HIFU devices.

The 2mm cartridge on the Ultraformer III targets the mid-dermis, making it ideal for treating fine lines, mild skin laxity, and texture irregularities in more delicate facial zones. This shallow-depth treatment creates a firmer, smoother appearance while keeping the skin surface completely intact—no needles, no downtime.

The Ultraformer 2mm HIFU facial offers a treatment experience that’s similar in time and cost to a traditional facial, but with significantly greater long-term benefits. In just 30 to 45 minutes, this non-invasive procedure targets the mid-dermis to stimulate collagen production, improve skin firmness, and reduce fine lines—results that go far beyond surface-level hydration or exfoliation. It’s an ideal option for clients looking for visible skin tightening and rejuvenation without downtime, making it a powerful alternative to standard facials for those seeking more measurable results.

Unlike deeper HIFU cartridges (such as 3.0mm and 4.5mm, which treat the SMAS layer for lifting), the 2mm cartridge is designed to treat the superficial to mid-dermal layers, where collagen degradation first appears. This makes it ideal for:

• Fine lines and early signs of ageing
• Jawline refinement and mild skin sagging
• Delicate areas such as under the eyes, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines
• Clients seeking a gentle collagen boost without intense lifting

Ultraformer III is the gold standard in HIFU technology, known for its precision, comfort, and consistent results. Unlike other HIFU machines, Ultraformer uses multi-depth cartridges to target exact skin layers, delivering micro-focused energy without damaging surrounding tissues.

Its precision engineering ensures reliable results in sensitive zones, making the 2mm cartridge especially effective for facial contouring and smoothing.

• Stimulates collagen and elastin in the mid-dermis
• Softens fine lines and smooths crepey skin
• Improves skin firmness and elasticity
• Targets hard-to-treat zones like the under-eye and around lips
• No needles, no downtime, no skin damage
• Safe for most skin types and tones
• Ideal for maintenance between deeper HIFU or RF treatments

Your Ultraformer 2mm HIFU facial at Millk will begin with a skin consultation to determine suitability and treatment goals. After cleansing, your therapist will apply a cooling ultrasound gel and use the Ultraformer handpiece to deliver focused energy to precise treatment areas.

Most clients describe the sensation as a mild tingling or warmth. There is no anaesthetic required, and you can return to normal activities immediately after.
