Key Takeaways

What is HIFU?

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, commonly known as HIFU, has rapidly gained popularity as a non-invasive alternative to traditional facelifts. Touted as a revolutionary treatment for skin tightening and rejuvenation, it offers the promise of a youthful appearance without the need for surgery.

HIFU is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to target deep layers of the skin. This energy causes the tissue to heat up rapidly, which triggers a natural healing response. The result is the production of new collagen—a key protein that gives skin its structure and elasticity.

How Does the Ultraformer MPT Work?

The Ultraformer MPT is an advanced HIFU device designed to deliver precise and controlled ultrasound energy to the skin. Unlike earlier HIFU devices (see our comparison with the Ultraformer III), the Ultraformer MPT features Micro-Pulse Technology (MPT), which allows for faster treatment times, more comfort, and enhanced results.

• Precision Targeting: The Ultraformer MPT can target multiple layers of the skin, from the superficial to the deeper SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer, which is typically addressed during surgical facelifts. This multi-layer targeting ensures a more comprehensive tightening effect.
• Collagen Stimulation: By stimulating collagen production, the Ultraformer MPT helps to lift and tighten the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture. The results are natural-looking and improve gradually over time.
• Customisable Treatments: The Ultraformer MPT offers different handpieces that allow for customisable treatments, targeting specific areas like the face, neck, and décolletage. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns.

Comparing HIFU with a Traditional Facelift

While HIFU, particularly with the Ultraformer MPT, offers impressive results, it’s important to understand how it compares to a traditional facelift:

• Non-Invasiveness: The most significant advantage of HIFU is that it’s non-invasive. There are no incisions, stitches, or lengthy recovery times involved. Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment.
• Gradual Results: HIFU results develop gradually over a few months as new collagen forms. This can be ideal for those seeking subtle, natural improvements. However, the results are not as dramatic as those achieved with a surgical facelift.
• Longevity of Results: While HIFU provides long-lasting results, typically lasting up to a year or more, they do not compare to the permanence of a surgical facelift, which can last up to 10 years or more.
• Cost and Risk: HIFU is significantly less expensive than a facelift and carries fewer risks. There’s no need for anaesthesia, and side effects are generally mild and temporary, such as slight redness or swelling.

Evidence-Based Effectiveness of HIFU

Numerous studies have shown the effectiveness of HIFU in skin tightening and lifting. Clinical evidence supports its ability to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. For example, a study published in The Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy found that patients treated with HIFU experienced significant lifting and tightening of the skin, with minimal side effects.

The Verdict – Is HIFU the Ultimate Facelift Alternative?

While HIFU with the Ultraformer MPT is an excellent option for those seeking non-invasive skin tightening and rejuvenation, nothing can compete with a scalpel and it’s not a replacement for a surgical facelift.

The results are more subtle and gradual, making it ideal for individuals who prefer a less invasive approach with minimal downtime.

Is HIFU Ultraformer MPT Facelift Right For Me?

For those with mild to moderate skin laxity or those who are not ready for surgery, HIFU is a compelling alternative. It’s also an excellent maintenance treatment for those who have already had a facelift and wish to prolong their results.

What is Ultraformer MPT?

The Ultraformer MPT, also known as Version 4, represents a significant advancement over the previous Ultraformer III model. Utilising the latest in ultrasound technology, this device effectively tightens and lifts the skin by targeting deeper layers, making it an excellent choice for those looking to reduce skin laxity and wrinkles without surgery.

Why Choose Ultraformer MPT Over Ultraformer III?

While the Ultraformer III has been a reliable tool for over seven years in our clinic, with the release of the Ultraformer MPT we were blown away with distinct advantages that the development of the latest Ultraformer have introduced (and we had to have it) :

• Greater Efficacy: More effective at fat destruction.
• Reduced Treatment Time: Nearly three times faster.
• Improved Comfort: Less pain during the procedure – next to none.
• Superior Skin Quality: Notable improvements in skin texture and quality.

Key Benefits of Ultraformer MPT

• Advanced Technology: The Ultraformer MPT employs micropulse technology, delivering energy 25 times finer than its predecessor. This results in more precise and effective treatment.
• Faster and More Comfortable: The treatment time ranges from just 2 to 25 minutes, depending on the targeted area, and it is 2.5 times faster than Ultherapy or HIFU. Additionally, it is significantly more comfortable than both the Ultraformer III, HIFU and Ultherapy.
• Enhanced Results: The Ultraformer MPT excels in sculpting the jawline, reducing under-chin fat, and tightening the skin. It also improves skin texture and quality by delivering superficial ultrasound energy.
• Non-Invasive: This treatment uses sound waves to tighten all layers of the skin without the risks or recovery time associated with lasers. It effectively treats double chins by selectively destroying fat and tightening the skin beneath the chin.

How does Ultraformer work?

The Ultraformer works by using focused ultrasound energy, or heat energy to coagulate temperatures to the deeper layers of skin. This encourages the growth of new collagen over a period of weeks and months post-procedure. Through the regeneration of collagen, wrinkles are eliminated and the skin becomes firmer and noticeably lifted.

Ultraformer is widely used with over 1 million treatments performed worldwide. It has become the treatment of choice for patients who are not yet ready or willing to undergo surgery. This fills a huge gap in the market and is suitable for people from 30 years of age all the way up to 80.

Ultraformer III is the premium multi-functional ultrasound device, offering both face and neck tightening and body contouring in one system. Find out more about the Ultraformer MPT

What does Ultraformer MPT treat?

The Ultraformer MPT treatment can be performed on the face, neck, chin, jawline, brows and areas of the body that are wrinkling or sagging, such as your armpits, stomach, and thighs. Furthermore, Ultraformer can perform whole-body contouring on regions such as décolletage, arm, abdomen, flank, thigh, axilla, lower leg, ankle and back.

Benefits of the treatment include face lifting, skin tightening, minimised wrinkles and pores, V-line forming, skin tone improvement, and an overall laxity improvement. High-peak power means ultrasound energy is delivered effectively into the target area without heat diffusion to surrounding tissue. This produces the best clinical results, faster treatment times and increased comfort during treatment.

Engineered with endless capabilities offering endless combinations of treatment regimens, the ULTRAFORMER MPT is suitable for patients with the following concerns:

• Loose and sagging skin
• Skin folds
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Signs of ageing
• Decrease in skin elasticity
