The HIFU device delivers focused ultrasound beams to various depths within your skin (namely the skin layer, subcutaneous fat layer, and SMAS muscle layer).
This targeted energy heats the tissue, causing micro-injuries. Your body’s natural response is to repair these injuries, which triggers new collagen production, leading to firmer, tighter skin.
Ultraformer MPT reaches the SMAS layer to lift and firm the skin. It is commonly used on areas such as the cheeks, jawline, nasolabial folds, and neck. By stimulating collagen at multiple depths, it lifts and tightens sagging skin over time. This creates a natural-looking lift with gradual, long-lasting improvement.
Ultraformer MPT targets the deeper fat layers, helping to reduce excess fat in the cheeks. At the same time, it stimulates collagen in the surrounding tissue, creating a more contoured and lifted facial profile. The result is a slimmer, more defined look without appearing hollow.
Ultraformer MPT can precisely target submental fat beneath the chin. This helps break down fat cells while tightening the overlying skin, improving both fullness and laxity. The result is a sharper jawline and more defined chin profile.
By delivering focused ultrasound energy into the dermis, Ultraformer MPT stimulates collagen and elastin production. This helps smooth fine lines and improve overall skin texture over time. Common target areas include the forehead, under-eye area, and around the mouth.
Patients can avoid the risks of surgery, including infection and general anaesthesia.
HIFU has fewer potential complications compared to surgery.
Most people can resume normal activities right away.
While results can vary, HIFU's effects on collagen production can last for up to a year.
HIFU has minimal downtime. You might experience some temporary redness or swelling for less than a day. It is normal to experience itch or aching after the treatment, but this is not visible and should not impede your daily activities.
Results from HIFU start to show from Week 2 onwards, and peak at 2-3 months. Results can last up to 9-12 months. Do remember that everyone is constantly aging, and so results are never permanent.
The recommended interval between HIFU treatments vary, depending on your response and desired results. Generally, the average interval between treatments is 6 months, although a shorter interval can be undertaken for faster results depending on your skin condition.

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) treatments are very tolerable with only some mild discomfort, commonly described as a tingling or prickling sensation. Topical anaesthetic creams can be applied before the procedure to reduce discomfort. Most patients find the discomfort manageable and worth the results. With Ultraformer MPT, many patients find that it is much more comfortable than its predecessor, the Ultraformer III.
Yes, HIFU is compatible with other aesthetic treatments to enhance tightening and lifting results. It is commonly paired with treatments like Dermal Fillers, Skin Boosters, and Morpheus 8. Combining treatments can simultaneously address multiple skin concerns, providing a more comprehensive approach to anti-aging and rejuvenation.
HIFU is generally suitable for most skin types and tones. It targets the deeper layers of the skin without affecting the surface, making it safe for darker skin tones which are more prone to hyperpigmentation from other types of treatments.
However, individuals with very loose or severely sagging skin may see different benefits and be better suited for alternative therapies.
While HIFU provides significant lifting and tightening benefits, it cannot completely replace a surgical facelift. HIFU is a non-invasive procedure that offers a subtle, natural-looking lift and is ideal for those with mild to moderate skin laxity.
A surgical facelift may be necessary for individuals with severe sagging and excess skin to achieve the desired results. HIFU can be a good option for those seeking a less invasive procedure with minimal downtime, and is also an excellent choice for those seeking anti-aging.
There have been numerous upgrades with the latest Ultraformer MPT.
