LM SKINCENTRE Hong Kong introduces Ultraformer MPT treatment which is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology to lift and tighten sagging skin.
The treatment targets the deep tissue layers, such as the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) and the deep dermis, without causing damage to the skin’s surface. Ultraformer MPT (the 4th generation) is the latest generation of Ultraformer series. This new technology is designed to provide a safer and more efficient solution for skin rejuvenation. The MPT series is equipped with Micro & Macro focused Ultrasound (MMFU) technology, which divides the Thermal Coagulation Point (TCP) generating method into micro-units, leading to precise TCP quality.
Indications:
Ultraformer MPT is ideal for treating a range of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, droopy eyelids, skin laxity, sagging skin, and dull and uneven skin tone. If you’re concerned about any of these issues, you may be a good candidate for the treatment.
