As aesthetic medicine keeps advancing, non-invasive cosmetic treatments are becoming more and more popular. Among them, Ultraformer lifting has become the first choice of many beauty-conscious people thanks to its noticeable results and relatively gentle process. This article takes an in-depth look at the cost, results, and longevity of Ultraformer lifting, and compares it with Thermage FLX!
What Is Ultraformer?
Using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology, heat is delivered precisely to different layers of the skin to lift and tighten it. You can imagine it like a slice of meat shrinking when heated: the heat makes tissue contract and stimulates collagen production, so that skin that was loose becomes tighter and lifted.

Ultraformer Cost Range
- Localized treatment (300-500 lines): about NT$18,000 to NT$40,000 for small areas such as around the eyes and the corners of the mouth.
- Full-face treatment (800-1200 lines): a full-face lift costs about NT$50,000 to NT$100,000.
- Multi-session discounts: many clinics offer discounted pricing for multiple sessions. For example, buying three sessions may get you one free, for a total of around NT$200,000.
Actual prices vary with factors such as the device, the doctor's skill, and clinic location. In addition, each person's treatment areas and needs differ, so the number of lines ultimately recommended also differs, which affects the cost.
Factors That Affect Price
- Treatment area: Different treatment areas directly affect price. For example, a full-face treatment costs more than a localized one.
- Number of sessions: The more sessions, the higher the total cost. Your skin condition and needs determine how many sessions you need.
- Clinic and doctor expertise: Well-known clinics and experienced doctors charge more, but that also means greater safety and better assurance of results.
- Sophistication of equipment: Clinics using advanced equipment charge relatively more, because it can deliver more precise and effective results.
