What is Ultraformer MPT?
Ultraformer MPT is the latest advancement in non-invasive skin tightening and lifting treatments. Latest high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology for skin tightening (face/neck/body) and facial contouring (by reducing fats in the submental area). This device is the most recent innovation designed to deliver effective results without surgery. For Ultraformer, the primary purpose is to provide facial contouring, wrinkle reduction, and skin rejuvenation for suitable candidates. It uses advanced ultrasound technology to target specific layers of the skin. The device works by delivering focused ultrasound waves that penetrate the skin to stimulate collagen production. A key target for lifting and tightening is the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS), which helps achieve optimal results.
Benefits of Ultraformer MPT
The Ultraformer MPT is a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment designed to address a variety of skin concerns using high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology. By harnessing the power of ultrasound energy, the Ultraformer MPT is primarily for skin tightening and lifting, and stimulates collagen production deep within the skin. It is particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with skin sagging, double chin, or those interested in body contouring. This is ideal for those looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin laxity, and achieve a more youthful appearance without the need for surgery. Thanks to its innovative micro pulsed technology (MPT), the Ultraformer MPT offers a precise and comfortable experience, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking a non-invasive facelift and overall skin rejuvenation.
The Technology Behind
The Ultraformer MPT HIFU treatment stands out for its use of advanced Micro Pulsed Technology, which delivers high intensity focused ultrasound energy directly to targeted layers of the skin. This allows for precise treatment of areas such as the face, neck, and body, including challenging regions like the cheekbones, forehead, and around the eyes. The device features both micro and macro focused ultrasound modes, as well as a range of multi-depth cartridges, enabling practitioners to customize each session according to the patient’s unique skin concerns. By delivering controlled ultrasound energy to specific depths, the Ultraformer MPT effectively addresses a variety of skin issues, making it a versatile solution for comprehensive skin tightening and rejuvenation.
Suitable candidates for skin tightening:
- Ideal candidates are those with mild to moderate skin laxity and sagging
- Candidates with mild to moderate fat pads over jowls, nasolabials, under chin and jawline area
In summary, the best candidate for Ultraformer MPT is someone seeking non-invasive skin rejuvenation, improved firmness, wrinkle reduction, and facial contouring, without significant underlying skin or health conditions.
Unsuitable candidates:
- Severe skin laxity
- Patients with very low facial volume (sunken face)
These individuals are not suitable candidates for Ultraformer MPT.
Contraindications: (if unsure, always check with doctor)
- Pregnancy
- Active skin infection
- Signs of sun injury
- Wound
- Filler injection in under 4 weeks
The above conditions make someone unsuitable for Ultraformer MPT.
3-4 months
2-3 sessions recommended for optimal results, more sessions might be needed for facial contouring and fat removal
skin tightening visible immediately after the procedure, fat reduction visible after 2-3 weeks, best results after 2-3 months
Maintenance: 1-2x/ year
Downtime: mild skin redness in less than 24hrs, mild aching sensation of 5-7 days
Complications:
- Bruising
- Swelling
- Prolonged redness
- Nerve pain (rare)
Most side effects of Ultraformer MPT treatments are mild and temporary, such as redness, swelling, or tenderness. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice and risk assessment.
Ultraformer MPT vs HIFU
- Both devices use ultrasound energy to lift, tighten and rejuvenate the skin
- Ultherapy has an ultrasound guide for depth reading
- Ultraformer MPT: latest HIFU technology for faster, better results with micro-pulsed technology, linear coagulation zones, and customizable mode options to target specific skin concerns
The Ultraformer MPT builds on the proven effectiveness of the ultraformer iii, offering advancements in treatment speed, comfort, and customisation. The ultraformer iii was widely recognized as an effective, non-invasive skin lifting and tightening device, and its success led to the development of the more advanced Ultraformer MPT.
Pre-procedure:
- Photo documentation
- Obtain written consent
- Apply numbing cream: 30 mins
- Ensure the handpieces have no remnants of gel and are cleaned with alcohol
- Check the number of shots available on the device, as the number of shots is important for treatment planning and cost estimation. Prepare a new cartridge if the number of shots is running low.
- Prepare the ultra booster handpiece if treatment will target smaller or hard-to-reach areas, such as the double chin, or if enhanced serum penetration is desired.
- Apply gel on patient’s face evenly
Treatment Procedure
A typical Ultraformer MPT treatment session lasts about one hour, beginning with the application of a numbing cream to ensure comfort. The actual ultrasound treatment takes approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the individual’s skin concerns. The number of HIFU shots delivered during the session is customized based on the size of the treatment area and the desired results, with a full face treatment generally requiring between 700 and 1000 shots. During the procedure, the Ultraformer MPT device emits micro-pulsed ultrasound energy into the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin tightening and lifting. Most patients experience only mild redness or tenderness, which typically subsides within a few days, allowing for a quick return to normal activities.
Post-procedure:
- Remove gel from the face
- Photo documentation
- Apply moisturizer and sunscreen
- Post-procedure advice:
- Apply SPF50 broad spectrum sunscreen at least twice a day
- DO NOT touch, scratch, or rub the treated area till the skin is completely healed to prevent irritation or infection
- Be gentle when washing your face
- To resume regular skincare products after 48hrs
- Avoid skin care ingredients such as retinol, Vitamin C, exfoliating products (facial scrub/AHA/BHA) for 2 weeks
- Avoid excessive sun exposure for 2 weeks
- Avoid facial procedures and energy-based aesthetic treatments such as laser, radio frequency, HIFU, BBL, IPL for 2 weeks
