THE PROGRAMME
What is Programme Ultraformer III HIFU?
Programme Ultraformer III, also written as Programme Ultraformer 3, uses a CLASSYS focused ultrasound, or HIFU, device. It delivers energy to create small thermal treatment points at a target depth beneath the skin, stimulating collagen remodelling to improve skin firmness. Different cartridges provide depths for facial and body applications. [1,2]
Cartridge selection starts with the treatment area and tissue thickness. Energy settings and treatment lines are then planned accordingly. Cartridge depth and shot count are most useful when considered alongside the plan for the area being treated.

Face tightening: cheeks, jawline and under chin
As skin around the cheeks or jaw becomes lax, the outline of the face can change. Programme Ultraformer III is an option for improving skin firmness in these areas. Assessment should first distinguish skin laxity from fat or facial structure, as these concerns call for different approaches. [1]
Both the skin and the tissue beneath the chin need assessment before selecting cartridges and treatment areas.

Body skin tightening: upper arms, stomach and thighs
Studies of the device used in Programme Ultraformer III have assessed skin laxity in the upper arms, stomach area (abdomen) and thighs. Planning begins with the location, area size and tissue thickness, which inform cartridge selection and the treatment pattern. [2,3]
The focus here is skin firmness. Assessment therefore follows changes in the treated area; body weight is not a measure of the programme’s results.
02 / DEPTH, EXPLAINED
7 depths, selected for the area
BEHAP has all seven cartridge depths for Programme Ultraformer III. Each number is the cartridge’s specified target depth. The doctor selects cartridges for the area and tissue; a session does not need to use every cartridge. [1]

ULTRASOUND MAPPING
Map with ultrasound before treatment.
When the doctor considers it appropriate, BEHAP uses diagnostic ultrasound to assess tissue position and thickness in the area to be treated. The images complement the clinical examination and help inform cartridge selection and depth planning for Programme Ultraformer III. [7]
Diagnostic imaging is performed with a separate ultrasound device.
The number of shots is the number of times the device delivers energy. On its own, it does not tell you which areas are covered, which cartridge depths are used or how the energy is distributed. Plan the treatment areas, shot count and cartridges with your doctor.
Example areas by shot count
450shots
Cheeks and jawline or full face in some plans
600shots
Full face may include under the chin
1,200shots
Full face and under the chin for a plan covering several areas
These examples are starting points. Shot distribution depends on your doctor’s plan; ask what each package covers before booking. [11–14]

Ask about area coverage, shot allocation and package terms before arranging an appointment.
For body areas
Specify the area, such as the upper arms, abdomen or thighs, to ask about the plan, shot count and price for the intended coverage.
When can you see results from Programme Ultraformer III?
Changes after Programme Ultraformer III may appear gradually over several weeks or months. [8] Studies using this device assessed changes at 4 and 12 weeks. [2,3] Follow-up should compare the same areas at appropriate intervals, rather than judging the full result from a photograph taken immediately afterwards.
Evidence for the device used in Programme Ultraformer III
32participants
Ko et al. · 2017
In 32 Korean participants, the study assessed cheeks, lower abdomen and thighs. Skin elasticity improved at 12 weeks, with photographs assessed at 4 and 12 weeks. The evidence is bounded by this sample and follow-up period. [2]
6participants
Choi et al. · 2016
A pilot study in six Asian women found improved skin elasticity and clinical assessment results at 4 weeks following facial and body treatment. It offers supporting evidence, limited by its small sample and short follow-up. [3]

Programme Ultraformer III
Left: untreated · Right: immediately after treatment
Identify the areas that concern you and what you hope to achieve. Share your history of procedures in those areas so the doctor can assess the skin and tissue, then plan cartridges, energy settings and shots.

During treatment
You may feel intermittent heat, pain or discomfort or a tightening sensation as energy is delivered. Sensations depend on the area and settings. Tell your practitioner if you are uncomfortable. [1]
03
After treatment
Temporary redness, swelling or tenderness can occur. Obtain aftercare advice for the areas treated and arrange follow-up to compare changes in the same locations. [1–3]

ParagonCare’s clinic directory lists “Behap Wellness Clinic : สุขุมวิท” (Sukhumvit) with the label “ULTRAFORMER III”. Use the link below to check the listing.
Programme Ultraformer III uses focused ultrasound to address skin laxity and help improve firmness. [1–3] The device has cartridges for the face and body. The 6, 9 and 13 mm body cartridges are designed to deliver energy into underlying tissue to help reduce localised fat, such as on the upper arms, abdomen and thighs. [1,8] The doctor selects the cartridge and depth according to the area and tissue being treated.
Is Programme Ultraformer III the same as HIFU?+
HIFU is a category of focused ultrasound technology. Programme Ultraformer III uses a CLASSYS device in this category. The device has seven cartridge depths for the face and body, allowing the doctor to select a depth for the area and tissue being treated. [1]
This page cites five clinical studies that used this model. [2,3,5,7,10] For example, a study of 32 participants reported improved skin elasticity in the cheeks, lower abdomen and thighs at 12 weeks. [2] When comparing packages, consider the model, cartridges, treatment areas and shot count together.
Can Programme Ultraformer III be used on the body?+
The device has body cartridges at 6, 9 and 13 mm. Studies have assessed areas including the upper arms, abdomen and thighs. Area and tissue thickness need assessment before treatment selection. [1–3]
How do the 1.5, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.5 mm cartridges differ?+
The numbers describe the target depths specified by the manufacturer. These are facial cartridges, but not every depth is suitable for every part of the face. The doctor selects cartridges and treatment patterns for the assessed area. [1]
How many Programme Ultraformer III shots do I need?+
Start with the areas and size of the treatment coverage. BEHAP’s facial menu includes all three shot counts, but none is a fixed formula for every face. Ask which areas are included and how shots will be allocated.
When can you see results from Programme Ultraformer III, and how long do they last?+
Changes may appear gradually over several weeks or months after treatment. [8] The manufacturer, CLASSYS, states that results may last from several months to around one year. [9] The studies cited on this page assessed outcomes at 4 and 12 weeks; their follow-up periods do not guarantee how long results will last. Follow-up should be planned according to the skin and the treated area. [2,3]
Is Programme Ultraformer III painful, and what can happen afterwards?+
You may feel pain or discomfort, heat or tightness during treatment, and temporary redness, swelling or tenderness afterwards. Discuss comfort and aftercare before booking, particularly if you have travel or an important event planned. [1–3]
Do Programme Ultraformer III and Programme Ultraformer MPT use the same device model?+
III and MPT identify different device models. This page covers Programme Ultraformer III. When comparing prices or packages, make sure the model names match.
How do I ask for a price or arrange an appointment?+
Tell the BEHAP team you are interested in Programme Ultraformer III for the face or body, and specify the area and your preferred branch. Both Bangna and Asoke can offer the full model with all cartridge depths. The team will coordinate the device schedule, package details and appointment.
