Ultraformer MPT by Classys: HIFU Skin Tightening & Lifting Treatment in NYC
Korea’s Most Advanced HIFU Device
The Ultraformer MPT (Multi-Point Technology) is a next-generation High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) device by Classys, widely regarded as one of the most advanced non-surgical lifting and tightening systems available. Developed and refined in South Korea, where it became a gold standard in aesthetic clinics, the Ultraformer MPT delivers precise, multi-depth ultrasound energy to lift, tighten, and contour the face and body without surgery or downtime.
Unlike earlier HIFU systems that deliver energy in a single continuous line, the Ultraformer MPT uses patented Multi-Point Technology to place individual thermal coagulation points with greater speed, precision, and control. This results in more uniform collagen stimulation, reduced discomfort, and improved outcomes across a wide range of skin types and treatment areas.
How the Ultraformer MPT Works
The Ultraformer MPT delivers focused ultrasound energy to precise depths beneath the skin surface, creating controlled thermal injury points, known as micro-coagulation zones, that trigger the body’s natural collagen and elastin production. The skin surface remains unaffected while the deeper structural layers are gradually tightened and lifted.
Rather than firing energy in a continuous line, the MPT system delivers discrete, evenly spaced focal points that allow for more precise targeting and reduced thermal spread. Specialized cartridges reach depths of 1.5mm (superficial dermis), 3.0mm (deep dermis), 4.5mm (SMAS layer), and 6.0mm and 9.0mm for body and submental applications. Each cartridge fires at high speed, reducing total treatment time while maintaining consistent, controlled energy output throughout the session.
What Can the Ultraformer MPT Treat?
The Ultraformer MPT is highly versatile and can address laxity, contouring, and rejuvenation concerns across the face and body.
On the face and neck, it is commonly used for brow lifting and forehead tightening, midface lifting and cheek contouring, jawline definition and jowl reduction, neck tightening, and improvement of the submental area commonly known as a double chin.
For the body, the Ultraformer MPT can treat abdominal laxity, inner arm and inner thigh skin looseness, post-weight-loss or post-pregnancy skin changes, and décolletage rejuvenation, areas where dedicated high-energy body cartridges deliver results that facial HIFU systems cannot.
Benefits of Ultraformer MPT
- Non-surgical lifting with no incisions, needles, or anesthesia
- No downtime, patients can return to normal activities immediately
- Treats multiple tissue depths in a single session for comprehensive results
- Effective for both face and body with specialized cartridges for each area
- Minimal discomfort compared to first-generation HIFU devices, thanks to MPT delivery
- Proven technology with extensive clinical use in South Korea, Japan, and Europe
- Long-lasting results that continue to improve over 3 to 6 months
Ultraformer MPT vs. Other HIFU and RF Devices
The Ultraformer MPT represents a meaningful advancement over earlier HIFU platforms. Where first-generation devices deliver energy in a slow, continuous line, which many patients find uncomfortable, the Ultraformer MPT fires in rapid, discrete focal points that cover the same area with less pain and more even distribution of energy. Treatment sessions are faster, and the precision of MPT technology allows for more targeted collagen stimulation with less variability in results.
Compared to monopolar radiofrequency treatments, HIFU penetrates more deeply into the SMAS layer, the same structural tissue targeted in a surgical facelift. This makes the Ultraformer MPT particularly effective for true structural lifting, while RF devices excel at surface-level dermal tightening and texture improvement. Many patients benefit from combining both technologies for a layered, comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation.
Ideal Candidates for Ultraformer MPT
The Ultraformer MPT is well-suited for patients experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, or body who want a non-surgical alternative or complement to a facelift. It works well for patients noticing early jowling, brow descent, or a softened jawline, as well as those interested in prejuvenation and long-term collagen maintenance. Patients who prefer no downtime, no needles, and no anesthesia are often ideal candidates.
Most patients are in their late 30s through 60s with reasonable skin thickness and tissue quality. Patients with very thin, severely sun-damaged, or significantly lax skin may benefit more from combining HIFU with other modalities. A consultation with a board-certified dermatologist is the best way to determine whether Ultraformer MPT alone or in combination with other treatments is the right approach for your specific goals.
What to Expect During Treatment
No special preparation is typically required before an Ultraformer MPT session. Patients taking blood thinners or NSAIDs regularly should discuss this with their provider ahead of time.
During treatment, a coupling gel is applied to the skin and the handpiece is moved systematically across the treatment area as ultrasound energy is delivered. Most patients experience brief sensations of warmth or tingling as the energy reaches the deeper tissue layers. Treatment time ranges from 20 to 60 minutes depending on the areas being addressed.
After treatment, mild redness or slight swelling may occur and typically resolves within a few hours. There is no required downtime, and most patients return to their normal routine the same day.
Results and Recovery
Results develop in two phases. Some patients notice immediate skin tightening due to initial collagen contraction. Optimal results then develop gradually over 3 to 6 months as new collagen and elastin form in the treated layers. Results typically last 12 to 18 months, and annual maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain and build on those results over time.
Combining Ultraformer MPT with Other Treatments
Ultraformer MPT pairs well with other aesthetic treatments for a more complete rejuvenation approach. Monopolar RF treatments address surface-level dermal tightening while Ultraformer MPT lifts the deeper structural tissue, the two technologies work at complementary depths and are frequently combined. Skinboosters such as Profhilo, Juvelook, and Rejuran PDRN can restore hydration and skin quality alongside the structural lifting that HIFU provides. Neurotoxins like Botox or Letybo soften dynamic lines while HIFU addresses laxity, and filler can restore volume in areas where lifting alone is not sufficient.
FAQs About Ultraformer MPT
Q: Is Ultraformer MPT painful?
A: Most patients experience brief, tolerable sensations of heat or pressure during energy delivery. The Multi-Point Technology is specifically designed to reduce discomfort compared to older HIFU devices. Numbing cream is available for sensitive patients upon request.
Q: How many treatments are needed?
A: Most patients achieve their initial goals with one to two sessions. Maintenance treatments are typically recommended every 12 to 18 months to sustain collagen levels over time.
Q: How is this different from Ultherapy?
A: Both use HIFU technology to stimulate collagen at depth. The Ultraformer MPT delivers energy in discrete multi-points rather than a continuous line, which improves both comfort and precision. It also offers more transducer depth options and dedicated body cartridges that extend its versatility beyond what earlier HIFU platforms provide.
Q: Is there any downtime?
A: No. Mild redness or puffiness may occur immediately after treatment but typically resolves within a few hours. Most patients return to work or social activities the same day.
Q: Who makes the Ultraformer MPT?
A: It is manufactured by Classys, a South Korean medical device company also known for the EVERESSE monopolar RF platform. Classys devices are widely used in aesthetic practices across Asia, Europe, and the United States.
