This blog answers common questions about Ultraformer MPT — how the treatment works, what it involves, what to expect during recovery, and what factors may influence whether it is appropriate for you.

Question 1 — How long does Ultraformer last?

Results from Ultraformer MPT vary between individuals. For some patients, results may be noticeable for between six and twelve months, though individual duration depends on factors including age, skin condition, lifestyle, and the area treated.

Some patients choose to have follow-up sessions over time. Your clinician will discuss what may be appropriate for your circumstances during consultation.

Question 2 — What is Ultraformer? How does it work?

Ultraformer MPT is a non-surgical treatment that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology to deliver targeted heat energy to deeper layers of the skin. This process is designed to help stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, which may contribute to changes in skin firmness and texture over time.

Collagen is a structural protein that contributes to skin firmness. Natural collagen production declines gradually with age, which can contribute to changes in skin texture and laxity over time.

Ultraformer MPT is an updated version of the earlier Ultraformer III model. The treatment targets deeper skin layers while leaving the outer skin surface intact, which means there is generally no visible wound to the skin surface following treatment. Individual recovery varies.

Question 3  — What areas can be treated with Ultraformer?

Ultraformer can treat several areas. The most popular include the face, neck, jawline, and décolletage.

Whether treatment in a specific area is appropriate for your individual circumstances will be assessed during consultation.

Question 4  — How long does an Ultraformer treatment take?

An Ultraformer treatment typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area and the number of areas being treated.

The duration varies based on individual factors and what the patient requires, which is discussed prior to treatment during a consultation.

Question 5 — How soon will I see results from Ultraformer?

Changes develop gradually over time rather than immediately. Individual results and timelines vary, so it’s best to discuss your expectations with our practitioners at Ascension Cosmetic Medicine during your consultation.

Question 6 — What kind of results can I expect from Ultraformer?

Individual results depend on skin condition, age, lifestyle factors, and other individual circumstances, and cannot be guaranteed.

Because Ultraformer MPT targets deeper skin layers without affecting the outer skin surface, there are generally no incisions, scarring, or stitches associated with treatment.

Question 7 — How do I know if Ultraformer MPT is right for me?

It’s important to keep in mind that Ultraformer isn’t a suitable treatment for everyone. 

Here are some of the eligibility criteria you’ll need to meet:

• Mild to moderate loose skin
• Moderate thickness in the skin and fat layer beneath the skin
• Mild to moderate laxity around the jawline and lower face
• Little to no sun damage

To know for sure, it’s best to schedule a consultation with a clinician. They can evaluate your skin and tell you if Ultraformer MPT is the right treatment for your concerns. 

Question 8 — Does Ultraformer hurt?

Individual experiences of discomfort during Ultraformer MPT vary. Some patients describe a warming or tingling sensation during treatment. Discomfort tolerance varies between individuals, and your clinician can discuss pain management options at your appointment.

Question 9 — How much does Ultraformer MPT cost?

Ultraformer MPT prices vary depending on your location and the clinic you visit. 

It’s always a good idea to ask your health practitioner for a detailed cost breakdown during your consultation. This way, you’ll know exactly what to expect for your specific treatment.

At Ascension, our Ultraformer MPT treatments start at $1800 and go up to $2500. Prices vary depending on the areas you’re treating and how many sessions are required. To learn more, have a look at our full price list here.

Question 10 — Is Ultraformer MPT right for me??

At the end of the day, only you can decide if Ultraformer MPT is for you, in consultation with a professional.

Whether Ultraformer MPT is appropriate for you depends on individual factors including your skin condition, health history, and circumstances.

A consultation with a qualified practitioner, such as the team at Ascension Cosmetic Medicine, can help you make the final decision on what treatment is best for you.
