What Volformer is

Volformer brings together Ultraformer MPT and Volnewmer in one visit. Ultraformer MPT reaches the deeper support layer of the skin to lift and contour; Volnewmer works through the dermis to improve firmness, texture and skin quality. Used together, they address more of what changes as skin ages than either technology alone.

Volnewmer dermal firming Ultraformer MPT structural lift (SMAS) Epidermis Dermis Hypodermis SMAS/muscle

Simplified cross-section of the skin. Volformer treats two depths in one appointment: Volnewmer heats the dermis for firmness, while Ultraformer MPT reaches the SMAS, the deeper muscle layer, for structural lift.

Two Classys devices, used together in one appointment: Volnewmer's handpieces for dermal firming, and the Ultraformer MPT console for structural lift.

Why choose Volformer over surgery

When concerns span more than one layer, here's an honest comparison against a surgical facelift.

Volformer

  • No incisions or scarring
  • No anaesthesia
  • Back to normal activity the same day
  • Two depths addressed in one visit
  • Lower cost per session

Surgical facelift

  • Incisions and scarring
  • General anaesthesia and surgical risk
  • Weeks of downtime and recovery
  • Immediate, more dramatic change
  • Higher upfront cost

Volformer suits mild-to-moderate laxity across multiple layers. It isn't a substitute for surgery where there's significant excess skin — we'll tell you honestly at consultation if that's your situation.

What it can help with

  • Loss of jawline definition and early jowling
  • Lower face heaviness and reduced facial definition
  • Skin laxity, fine lines and crepey texture on the face or neck
  • Reduced firmness and elasticity from skincare alone not being enough
  • Wanting one personalised plan rather than choosing between treatments

What to expect

01
Consultation

We assess your skin and plan how the two technologies are sequenced for you.

02
Treatment

Ultraformer MPT first for structural lift, then Volnewmer for dermal firming.

03
Duration

Around 45 minutes to 1 hour in total, depending on the areas treated.

04
Aftercare

No required downtime. Skin may be pink or feel warm for a short while.

When you'll see results

Some firming can be noticeable straight away. The fuller effect of both technologies builds gradually over the following weeks and months, as collagen remodels. Results vary between individuals, and your practitioner will discuss a maintenance plan suited to your skin.

Case studies

Clinical case data from Classys, the manufacturer of both devices. This particular case tracks one patient across separate HIFU and RF treatments over several months — not a single same-visit Volformer session — but it illustrates the cumulative value of combining both technologies, which is the idea behind Volformer.

Frequently asked questions

Is Volformer suitable for everyone?
Not everyone is a candidate. It isn't suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for anyone with a pacemaker or implanted electronic device, an active skin infection, or significant skin laxity better addressed surgically. We take a full medical history at consultation to confirm it's right for you, including whether Volformer or a single technology is the better fit.
Is Volformer better than having one treatment alone?
It depends on your goals. Ultraformer MPT alone is excellent for lift and contour. Volnewmer alone is excellent for firmness and texture. Volformer combines both when a client's concerns span more than one layer — your practitioner will advise honestly on what's right for you.
Does it hurt?
Most people find both stages manageable — brief warmth or pulses of heat, adjusted to your comfort throughout.
Can Volformer replace a facelift?
No. Volformer supports firmer, more lifted-looking skin non-surgically, but it isn't a substitute for surgery where there's significant excess skin. We'll tell you honestly if that's your situation.
How is pricing worked out?
Volformer is priced individually based on the areas and protocol agreed at consultation. Current pricing is available on our Fresha booking page.
