The Ultraformer MPT HIFU Treatment represents the newest generation in the Ultraformer series, following the Ultraformer 3. This advanced High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) device is designed to enhance precision and efficiency in non-invasive skin tightening and lifting procedures.
In Korea, HIFU is commonly referred to as Shurink (슈링크). Apart from Ultraformer, other well-known HIFU brands include Ulthera and Ultherapy Prime.
Ultraformer MPT (Micro Pulse Technology) utilizes focused ultrasound waves to target deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue regeneration. This process results in a natural lifting and tightening effect, reducing signs of aging and improving skin texture with minimal downtime. Compared to previous generations, the Ultraformer MPT offers superior energy delivery and customizable treatment settings, allowing for tailored treatments that meet the specific needs of each patient.
Micro and Macro Focused Ultrasound (MMFU): Ultraformer MPT utilizes MMFU technology, which includes both micro-focused and macro-focused ultrasound waves. This dual approach allows for precise targeting of various skin depths, effectively stimulating collagen production and tissue regeneration.
Collagen Stimulation at Different Skin Layers:
Multiple Cartridges for Tailored Treatments: Ultraformer MPT is equipped with various cartridges that can deliver energy at different depths, ranging from 1.5mm to 13mm. These cartridges allow practitioners to customize treatments based on the specific needs of each patient.
Ultra-Booster Handpiece: The Ultraformer MPT includes advanced handpieces such as the Ultra-Booster. This handpiece enhances the delivery of ultrasound energy and aids in the penetration of topical skincare products such as serums and ampoules. During the facial treatment, the handpiece uses ultrasound energy to temporarily create micro-channels in the skin, allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the dermal layers. This process increases the effectiveness of the skincare products, leading to improved hydration, nourishment, and overall skin health.
Ultraformer MPT HIFU offers a range of benefits that make it a preferred choice for non-invasive skin tightening and rejuvenation. Here are the key advantages:
The Ultraformer MPT HIFU treatment can help in addressing signs of aging around the eyes, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. The treatment utilizes a 2.0mm cartridge, specifically designed for the delicate undereye area. Here's how it works:
Precise Energy Delivery: The 2.0mm cartridge, also known as the MF2 handpiece, delivers focused ultrasound energy at a depth that is ideal for treating the thin skin around the eyes. This precision allows for targeted collagen stimulation without damaging the surrounding tissues. The narrow and slim design of the MF2 handpiece enables it to reach and treat the contours and narrow regions around the eyes effectively.
Collagen Stimulation: The focused ultrasound energy generates thermal coagulation points in the skin, stimulating the production of new collagen. This helps to tighten and lift the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving overall skin firmness. Increased collagen production also helps to thicken the skin, making eyebags and dark circles less noticeable.
The Ultraformer MPT HIFU treatment is also used in reducing the appearance of a double chin. Utilizing High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology, this treatment targets and reduces submental (under chin) fat while tightening the skin, offering a more defined jawline and improved facial contour.
How It Works: Ultraformer MPT HIFU uses micro-focused and macro-focused ultrasound waves to deliver precise energy pulses into the subcutaneous fat layers under the chin. This energy causes thermal coagulation, which not only melts the fat cells but also stimulates collagen production and skin tightening. This dual action helps to contour the jawline and eliminate the double chin appearance without the need for surgery.
Initial Consultation: The treatment experience with Ultraformer MPT HIFU begins with an initial consultation. During this session, our doctors will assess the patient's skin condition, discuss aesthetic goals, and determine the suitability of the treatment. This is also an opportunity for the patient to ask any questions and express any concerns they might have. The doctor will also explain the procedure in detail, set realistic expectations, and provide a personalized treatment plan.
Preparation: Before the treatment, the patient's face is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or impurities. This step is crucial to ensure that the ultrasound energy can penetrate the skin effectively. After cleansing, a numbing cream is applied to the treatment area for approximately 30 minutes. This helps to minimize any discomfort during the procedure, although Ultraformer MPT is generally designed to be comfortable for most patients. The numbing cream ensures that even those with sensitive skin can experience the treatment with minimal discomfort.
The Treatment Experience:
Sensations During Treatment: Patients typically feel a sensation of warmth and tingling as the ultrasound energy is delivered to the skin. Some areas, particularly those closer to the bone, might feel more intense. However, the overall discomfort is minimal, and many patients find the procedure quite tolerable.
Post-Treatment: Immediately after the treatment, some patients may experience mild redness and swelling in the treated areas. These side effects are temporary and usually subside within a few hours to a couple of days. There is no significant downtime, and patients can typically return to their normal activities immediately.
Immediate Effects: Some tightening and lifting effects can be seen immediately after the treatment.
Long-Term Results: The full benefits develop over the next three to six months as new collagen is produced, and the skin continues to improve in texture and firmness. This gradual improvement helps in achieving a natural-looking rejuvenation.
Maintenance: Depending on the individual’s skin condition and desired results, follow-up treatments might be recommended. Most patients benefit from annual maintenance sessions to sustain the effects of the treatment. Regular follow-ups ensure that the skin remains firm and youthful over time.
By following this comprehensive treatment process, Ultraformer MPT HIFU provides a safe, effective, and convenient solution for non-invasive skin tightening and lifting, helping patients achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
