ultraformer to restore facial tone when you notice your skin sagging

There is something many patients tell us during work breaks or via WhatsApp before arriving at the consultation. It is a simple phrase, but it hurts because it describes exactly how your face feels when you look in the mirror: “give me a year older.” It is not a joke. People have seen old photos and notice that the line between the chin and the jawline is no longer defined. That area, the jaw, begins to lose its shape and looks flatter or even slightly sagging. It is very common in middle-aged people who work long hours in front of screens or in postpartum women who have been caring for their children without stopping. The sun in Medellín does not forgive, of course, but facial fat tends to move downward over time, creating that sense of heaviness that bothers you so much when you go outdoors.

When you arrive at the clinic and we look at you, the first thing we do is gently touch the jaw and chin area to understand what is happening with your skin. We are not looking for a brand or a magic product; what we really see is a natural process of collagen and elastin degradation. Your skin loses its internal structure as if the mortar between the bricks is slowly melting. Laxity is not just that the skin is “loose”; it is that the tissues have lost their ability to hold themselves up. In our clinic, when we talk about ultraformer for facial laxity, we refer to a multipolar radiofrequency treatment that specifically heats the deep layers of the connective tissue without damaging the surface. It is as if we were applying deep heat exactly where the support has weakened.

Sometimes we believe that ultrasound is the same as ultratherapy or that it is a new technique that only works for a year before becoming ineffective. The reality is that ultraformer uses ultrasonic waves to generate heat in deep layers, which stimulates reticular and collagen fibers to reorganize. People believe that laxity can be eliminated with a single treatment and kept forever. The truth is that the result requires maintenance because the body needs constant assistance to maintain that new firm structure. Laxity does not disappear with a single blow, but it can be controlled and its appearance significantly improved with several well-spaced sessions.

Our Approach in Consultation

The process in the consultation is shorter than you think if you are prepared, but post-treatment care is key. What we do is apply a conductive gel over your face and place a probe that emits energy waves. You feel a pleasant warmth, as if there were a stove under your face, but there is no pain or strange itching. The area heats up because the cells are vibrating and producing internal heat to repair themselves. After the session, your skin may feel slightly tight or warm for hours, but there is no visible inflammation or red marks like in other treatments. At Verassere, we use this method because we know you need real results without compromising your time or your sensitive skin. If you have doubts about whether it is suitable for you, we can explain how each layer of your skin works during the session.

You must know that facial laxity has specific causes that are not always visible to the naked eye. One of them is volume loss in the deep plane, which occurs when subcutaneous fat cells decrease. Note, this does not refer to having little weight in general, but to the specific reduction of the tissue that provides support to the face. Another important cause is accelerated cutaneous senescence, where elastic fibers become brittle and lose their natural elasticity. If this happens to you, the tissue cannot return to its original shape even if you try to stretch it. People believe that facial massage or anti-wrinkle creams prevent this on their own. The reality is that these superficial methods do not reach the root of the structural problem, which is why it is so difficult to reverse advanced laxity without deep technology.

To treat this correctly, we must evaluate each case individually because not all types of laxity respond equally. Ultraformer is ideal for areas where there is volume loss in the jaw or lower chin. If you have many deep expression lines in addition to laxity, we could combine it with microneedling to accelerate collagen production. The goal is not to lift your eyelids or change your nose, but to recover that defined line that makes you look younger and more rested. The result usually looks good from the next day regarding tone, although the maximum change appears between four and six weeks when your skin finishes remodeling.

Signs You Should Consult

If you notice that your neck starts to look longer or that the jawline is no longer clearly defined on the right or left side, it is time to consider an evaluation. Do not wait until the skin has completely sagged, because it becomes more difficult and expensive to recover the previous shape at that point. Also seek help if you feel that fashion accessories like necklaces or caps weigh more than usual when you wear them. These signs are early indicators that your connective tissue is no longer providing sufficient support. In our online store you will find complementary products, but in-person treatment is what truly transforms the appearance of your face from the inside out.

Many people wonder if they can do this while pregnant or if it is safe after giving birth. Although ultraformer does not use aggressive chemicals, we always recommend waiting until after the complete postpartum period and having a prior medical check-up. During pregnancy, the body is very active in producing hormones that affect the skin, so it is better not to intervene while these drastic changes are occurring. Once that period has passed, you can return to consult to see how your skin is and if it needs that deep energy to feel comfortable with your own image. People believe that all beauty treatments are the same or that they can be done at any time. The reality is that the optimal timing depends on your personal history and how much your skin has changed over the last few years.

The most frequent questions we receive on the schedule are usually very specific and practical. How many sessions do I need to see real changes in my laxity? The answer varies, but generally between four and six well-spaced treatments give the best result. Pain? There is no real pain, only a pleasant sensation of warmth that lasts a few minutes per area. What if I do not have time for post-treatment care? The important thing is to avoid direct sun exposure and not consume very hot beverages for at least twelve hours, but nothing more.
