Ultraformer MPT (HIFU)

Non-Surgical Skin Tightening and Collagen Renewal

At Shellharbour Skin, we offer the Ultraformer MPT, an advanced High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) system designed to support natural skin tightening and firming – without surgery or significant downtime.

This next-generation device delivers focused ultrasound energy deep beneath the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process to regenerate collagen and elastin.

Over time, this can lead to improved skin firmness, smoother texture, and a subtle lifting effect for the face, neck, and body.

Treatment time: 30–90 minutes (depending on area)

Downtime: Minimal – mild redness or tenderness may occur for up to 48 hours

The Science Behind Ultraformer MPT

Ultraformer MPT works by delivering micro-focused ultrasound energy at multiple, precise depths – typically 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm beneath the skin.

At 1.5mm: Energy targets the superficial dermis, refining skin texture and supporting elasticity.

At 3.0mm: It penetrates the mid-dermis to stimulate collagen production for improved density.

At 4.5mm: The ultrasound energy reaches the SMAS layer (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) – the same layer tightened during surgical facelifts – to support firming and lifting from within.

The controlled thermal energy (between 60–70°C) triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response, leading to new collagen synthesis and tissue remodeling over the following 8–12 weeks.

Because collagen renewal is gradual, multiple sessions and ongoing maintenance may be recommended to achieve and sustain optimal results.

What to Expect

Consultation & Preparation – Your clinician will assess your skin, review your medical history, and explain the treatment process. Then your initial treatment will be scheduled later. The area is cleansed, and a cooling gel is applied.

Targeted Ultrasound Delivery – The Ultraformer MPT handpiece delivers precise energy pulses to varying skin depths. You may feel brief warmth or tingling as the energy penetrates targeted tissue.

Finishing Products – After treatment, your clinician will apply calming and hydrating finishing products, including broad-spectrum SPF for protection.

Benefits

While individual results vary, Ultraformer MPT is designed to:

• Stimulate collagen and elastin production
• Improve jawline, cheek, and neck definition
• Soften fine lines and textural changes
• Tighten mild to moderate skin laxity
• Deliver progressive with low downtime

Cost:

The effects of Ultraformer MPT develop gradually as the skin’s natural collagen response is stimulated by focused ultrasound energy. This process takes time, and outcomes vary between individuals depending on factors such as skin quality, age, and lifestyle.

Visible improvements typically emerge over the following weeks as collagen remodelling continues.
To support ongoing skin health and ensure realistic, long-term outcomes, your clinician will recommend a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

Your clinician will provide you with a personalised treatment plan and pricing at your initial consultation, once your skin has been assessed and suitability confirmed.

Suitability & Informed Consent

A consultation is required prior to treatment to ensure suitability and provide informed consent.

During this consultation, your clinician will explain expected benefits, limitations, and potential risks before proceeding.

Ultraformer MPT may not be suitable for:

• Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Those with active infections, open wounds, or cystic acne in the treatment area
• Clients with metal implants, pacemakers, or dermal fillers near the targeted region
• Individuals with certain connective-tissue, autoimmune, or neurological disorders

Potential Risks & Considerations

Ultraformer MPT is considered low-risk when performed by trained clinicians.

Possible short-term effects include mild redness, swelling, tingling, or temporary tenderness.
Rarely, minor bruising or transient numbness may occur.

Your clinician will discuss all potential side effects and ensure appropriate post-care guidance is provided.

Important Information

Results are progressive and depend on your skin’s collagen response. Your clinician will advise a treatment schedule and expected outcomes during consultation.
