What is Ultraformer MPT?
Ultraformer MPT is a non-invasive aesthetic procedure that utilises High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology. It delivers focused ultrasound energy to multiple layers of the skin, including the deeper tissue layers, to stimulate collagen production and support skin tightening.
Compared to earlier HIFU devices, Ultraformer MPT features an enhanced transducer technology that allows for faster and more precise treatment delivery. Treatment can be customised to suit different skin concerns and areas, including the face and body.
What Can Ultraformer MPT Address?
| Ultraformer MPT is commonly used to address the following aesthetic concerns: | |
|---|---|
| Mild to moderate skin laxity | May support skin tightening by stimulating collagen production. |
| Appearance of fine lines and wrinkles | May help improve skin texture and smoothness. |
| Submental fullness (double chin) | Can be used to target fat beneath the chin for better contour. |
| Facial contouring | Can help refine jawline and cheek areas with appropriate treatment settings. |
Note: Results vary between individuals. A medical consultation is required to determine suitability.
How Does Ultraformer MPT Compare to Earlier Technologies?
Ultraformer MPT uses Micro-Pulsed Transducer (MPT) technology to deliver ultrasound energy with greater speed and precision compared to older systems. Treatment settings can be tailored for depth and intensity, depending on the patient’s skin characteristics and goals.
It includes an additional handpiece for more targeted treatment, particularly useful in smaller or delicate areas such as under the chin.
Common Treatment Depths and Intended Effects
| 1.5mm | Surface layer tightening and skin texture improvement |
| 2.0mm | Periorbital (around the eyes) firming |
| 3.0mm | Mid-dermal collagen stimulation |
| 4.5mm | Targeting deeper connective tissues such as the SMAS layer for lifting effects |
| Note: These are indicative settings. Actual treatment depths are selected by the physician based on clinical judgement. | |
