Turning Back the Clock: I Tried Ultraformer III at Glow Medispa—Here’s Why It’s the Skin Reset Every Parent Needs

Let’s be honest. After two kids, a business to run, and a skincare routine that mostly consists of wiping yoghurt off my face with baby wipes, my skin was… tired. Between the fine lines, the sagging jawline, and that permanently exhausted look around the eyes, I knew it was time to bring in reinforcements.

Not just another serum or miracle moisturiser. I needed something next-level.

Enter Glow Medispa and the Ultraformer III treatment—a non-surgical skin-tightening solution that promises to lift, tone, and boost collagen with zero downtime. It’s basically a workout for your face—and yes, I absolutely had to try it.

What Is Ultraformer III? (And Why Does Everyone Swear By It?)

Ultraformer III is a non-invasive, medical-grade skin tightening treatment that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to stimulate collagen production deep beneath the skin—right down to the SMAS layer, the same one targeted in surgical facelifts.

But unlike surgery, Ultraformer III delivers those results without scalpels, stitches, or time off. It works by sending energy pulses deep into the skin’s structure, triggering your body’s natural healing response and encouraging new collagen growth over time.

Translation? It’s like turning the lights back on in your face. Slowly. Naturally. Beautifully.

The Glow Medispa Difference: Personalised, Professional, and Actually Peaceful

Before the treatment even started, I had a full skin consult with Elisa, owner and highly experienced Advanced Dermal Therapist at Glow Medispa. Her approach is anything but cookie-cutter.

She took time to understand my current routine (or lack thereof), my biggest skin concerns (tired eyes, soft jawline, lack of bounce), and my treatment goals (subtle lift, more glow, still me). From there, she created a tailored plan focusing on the brows, cheeks, jawline, and upper neck.

Her calming presence, clinical expertise, and honest approach made it clear I was in good hands. Glow Medispa isn’t just about trendy treatments—it’s about building confidence through skincare that actually works.

The Treatment: A Workout for Your Face (That You Can Do Between Meetings)

The Ultraformer III session itself took about 45 minutes. No numbing, no needles, just a comforting gel applied to the skin and a handheld device delivering tiny energy pulses into specific facial zones.

Does it hurt? It’s not painful, but you do feel it—especially around bony areas like the jawline and brow. Think of it like little zaps or flicks of heat beneath the surface. Uncomfortable? Occasionally. Unbearable? Not at all. Let’s just say: I’ve stepped on Lego barefoot—it’s worse.

Afterwards, my skin was slightly pink but calm. No bruising, no swelling, no need to hide from the school pickup line. I looked totally normal—just a bit fresher.

The Results: Patience Pays Off

Here’s the thing with Ultraformer III: it’s not an overnight miracle. And that’s what makes it magic.

Elisa explained that results can take anywhere from immediately to 6 weeks to fully show, as your collagen production gradually increases. There’s no puffing, freezing, or filler-look. Just natural skin regeneration—and results that build over time.

But even so, I saw immediate effects. A subtle tightness in my cheeks. A slight lift around my eyes. My brow area already looked more open and awake—as if I’d caught up on sleep (spoiler: I hadn’t).

Weeks 2–4: The Subtle Shift

This is where the quiet transformation begins.

• Jawline looked more defined, especially in side profile (a small miracle).

• Cheekbones re-emerged like old friends.

• Brows lifted enough to open my whole expression.

There was no “Have you had work done?” vibe. Just comments like, “You look well!” and “Have you changed your makeup?” Spoiler: I hadn’t. But my collagen was clocking in for duty.

Why It’s a Win for Parents (Especially the Tired Kind)

Ultraformer III is perfect for anyone who wants real results with minimal effort—AKA most parents.

• No downtime = no schedule disruption

• Non-invasive = no drama, no recovery

• Gradual improvement = no one even knows (unless you tell them)

• Long-lasting effects = some people only need one session per year

Let’s face it—between daycare drop-offs, work meetings, and the sheer exhaustion of parenting, treatments that let you glow without taking over your life are worth their weight in retinol.

A Few FAQs You’re Probably Thinking:

Is it expensive?

Yes and no. A single Ultraformer III treatment can range from $150 to $1500+, depending on the area and clinic. But the results last up to 12 months, and unlike injectables, you’re paying for your skin to improve over time—not mask the symptoms.

Will it work for everyone?

Most people in their 30s–50s with mild to moderate skin laxity are great candidates. It’s also fantastic for those not ready for invasive procedures.

Can you combine it with other treatments?

Absolutely. Elisa tailors plans for clients based on their skin goals. Ultraformer III pairs well with LED, peels, or even injectables if you’re going that route—but honestly, it stands strong on its own.

Final Verdict: Worth the Hype

After trying it myself, I totally get the Ultraformer III obsession. It’s not a gimmick. It’s not a quick fix. It’s a gentle, science-backed way to wake up tired skin and slow the clock—without losing your expression, your personality, or your identity.

I didn’t want to look different—I wanted to look like me on a good day, and Ultraformer III delivered exactly that.

Glow Medispa: The Dream Team

A big part of my experience came down to the expertise and care from Elisa at Glow Medispa. Her passion, knowledge, and no-fluff approach made me feel empowered—not sold to. She doesn’t overpromise. She educates, treats, and celebrates every small win in your skin journey.

If you’re going to try Ultraformer III, do it somewhere that takes your face seriously. Glow Medispa does.
