How Ultraformer MPT works

Ultraformer MPT (Micro Pulsed Technology) focuses ultrasound energy to precise depths beneath the skin, delivered in shorter, faster pulses than older devices. Interchangeable cartridges reach different layers — the superficial skin, the deeper dermis, and the muscular support layer, the same layer addressed in a surgical facelift — while the surface stays untouched.

1.5mm 2.0mm 3.0mm 4.5mm Epidermis Dermis Hypodermis SMAS/muscle

Simplified cross-section of the skin. Each cartridge focuses ultrasound energy at a single depth (small crosses) — from the dermis down to the SMAS, the muscle layer targeted surgically in a facelift.

The technology

Ultraformer MPT is Classys's Micro and Macro Focused Ultrasound system. Interchangeable cartridges — from 1.5mm up to deeper settings — let your practitioner choose exactly which depth to target, so the same device treats fine surface texture and deeper structural support in one appointment.

Why choose Ultraformer MPT over surgery

For lift and contour without going under the knife, here's an honest comparison.

Ultraformer MPT

  • No incisions or scarring
  • No anaesthesia
  • Back to normal activity the same day
  • Gradual, natural-looking lift
  • Lower cost per session

Surgical facelift

  • Incisions and scarring
  • General anaesthesia and surgical risk
  • Weeks of downtime and recovery
  • Immediate, more dramatic change
  • Higher upfront cost

Ultraformer MPT suits mild-to-moderate laxity with reasonable skin elasticity. It isn't a substitute for surgery where there's significant excess skin — we'll tell you honestly at consultation if that's your situation.

What it can help with

  • A less defined jawline and early jowling
  • Fullness or laxity under the chin
  • Loss of lift in the cheeks and mid-face
  • Lines and looseness on the neck and décolletage
  • Heaviness in the brow and upper eyelid area

Areas we treat

Face and neck: forehead · under-eyes · cheeks · jawline and jowls · double chin · full face · neck · décolletage

Body protocols will be introduced once the team has built sufficient experience with the device. Your exact plan is confirmed at consultation; pricing is shown on our Fresha booking page.

What to expect

01
Consultation

We assess suitability and plan the areas and depths for you.

02
Treatment

Brief warmth or prickling with each pulse, strongest over bony areas.

03
Duration

Around 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the areas treated.

04
Aftercare

Skin may feel tender, a little like mild sunburn, for a day or so.

When you'll see results

There is often a subtle tightening within the first few days. The lifting effect builds gradually as new collagen forms over the following months. Results vary between individuals, and your practitioner will advise on maintenance once your protocol is complete.

Frequently asked questions

Is Ultraformer MPT suitable for everyone?
Not everyone is a candidate. It isn't suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for anyone with a pacemaker or implanted electronic device, active skin infection or severe acne in the area, a bleeding disorder, or a history of keloid scarring. We take a full medical history at consultation to confirm it's right for you.
Is this the same as HIFU?
Ultraformer MPT is a focused ultrasound device, so yes — but a newer generation. The micro-pulsed delivery is what makes it more comfortable than older ultrasound lifting treatments.
Does it hurt?
You'll feel brief heat with each pulse. It's momentary, and your practitioner can adjust the settings.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people have one treatment and reassess at consultation. Some areas, particularly on the body, may benefit from a second session.
Can I have it with Volnewmer?
Yes. The two treatments address different layers, which is why we offer them together as Volformer.
