In an era where beauty technology is continuously evolving, non-surgical facial lifting has become popular among those seeking to look naturally youthful. One of the favored methods is HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound), along with the latest technology, Ultraformer MPT, which is gaining traction among skincare enthusiasts looking for deeper results. In this article, we will compare both technologies.

💡 Ultraformer MPT – More advanced, faster procedure, longer results

Ultraformer MPT is a new technology developed from standard HIFU, utilizing Micro-Pulsed Technology (MPT) which delivers tiny pulse energy with high precision. This helps to reduce the sensation of pain and offers a choice of 10 applicator heads with 20 modes, suitable for all skin types and areas that require lifting and tightening, whether it's the face, chin, neck, or abdomen.

Advantages of Ultraformer MPT:

Works 2.5 times faster than previous Ultraformer models
Less pain due to MPT technology that releases micro-energy
Results are visible from the first session and last for up to 8–12 months
Covers lifting, fat reduction, and skin boosting in one treatment

📚 Research from the Aesthetic Surgery Journal (2024) indicates that Ultraformer MPT can lift the skin on the cheeks by an average of 3.38 mm and the neck by 3.55 mm, which is significantly higher than standard HIFU treatments.

💡 HIFU Ultramax – A budget-friendly option with clear results

Ultramax is the trade name for a new HIFU device developed to be easier to use and more effective at a reasonable price. It is suitable for those who want natural skin tightening without recovery time and is often chosen by women in their 30s to 40s. It has quickly gained popularity in beauty clinics across Asia, including Thailand. The main features include:

Stable and Consistent Energy: Provides clearly focused sound waves, reducing the chances of hot spots or unnecessary energy dispersion.
Multi-Level Depth Treatment Heads: Covers 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 mm for superficial, medium, and deep skin layers, suitable for all areas of the face.
Suitable for All Skin Types: Especially for those starting to experience slight to moderate skin sagging.
Natural-Looking Results: Tightens the skin without altering the original facial structure, with clear results seen gradually within 1–3 months.
Affordable Compared to Ultherapy or Ultraformer

Advantages of HIFU Ultramax:

Provides clear results from the first session.
No recovery time needed.
Suitable for treating early signs of wrinkles.
More affordable than Ultraformer MPT.

📚 From the Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology Journal (2023), it was found that standard HIFU can effectively tighten facial skin, especially in the jawline, cheeks, and around the mouth.
