Ultraformer MPT
Focused ultrasound for skin tightening, facial definition and body contouring, without needles or surgery.
For the face and body
What is Ultraformer MPT?
Ultraformer MPT is the next generation in the Ultraformer series, building on the technology of Ultraformer III. It introduces Micro Pulsed Technology, offering greater flexibility in energy delivery and treatment customisation.
The device uses focused ultrasound, designed to stimulate collagen renewal and improve skin firmness and the appearance of laxity, without needles or surgery. It can also target selected localised fat deposits in suitable areas, as part of an individually tailored treatment plan.
What sets Ultraformer MPT apart from Ultraformer III?
Both systems use focused ultrasound and offer treatment at multiple depths. Ultraformer MPT builds on this with additional energy delivery and treatment options:
- Micro Pulsed Technology: a mode that delivers energy through fine pulses, alongside the conventional individual dot pattern.
- Linear and circular delivery patterns: different ways to deliver energy, including circular patterns through the Ultra Booster handpiece.
- Faster energy delivery: according to the manufacturer, MP mode delivers energy faster than normal mode. Overall appointment length still depends on the treatment area and plan.
- A wider choice of handpieces and cartridges: three handpieces and ten cartridges to adapt treatment to different areas and focal depths.
These developments give greater flexibility in treatment customisation, while careful assessment and appropriate settings remain essential to the outcome.
How is it performed?
- We look at the areas you want to treat and plan the depths and handpieces for each one, to suit your skin.
- We move the Ultraformer MPT handpiece across the area in passes, delivering focused ultrasound to set depths under the skin.
- We clean your skin and explain your aftercare.
How does it work within the skin?
Focused ultrasound waves pass through the skin's surface and concentrate at small focal points at selected depths. As the tissue absorbs this energy, it is converted into controlled, localised heat, creating tiny zones of thermal coagulation within the targeted tissue.
This thermal effect helps contract existing collagen fibres and stimulates the skin's natural repair response, including the activity of fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing new collagen.
Collagen formation and remodelling continue over the following weeks and months, and may gradually help to improve skin firmness, elasticity and the appearance of sagging. The thermal effect is concentrated at the selected depth, rather than relying on surface heating to transfer heat into deeper layers.
How may it help reduce localised fat?
When fat reduction is appropriate, selected cartridges and settings are used to target the fatty tissue beneath the skin. Focused ultrasound concentrates energy within specific areas of this layer, producing a thermal effect that can damage some of the targeted fat cells.
The body then gradually processes the damaged cells. Immune cells, including macrophages, help clear cellular debris, while the released fats are processed through normal metabolic pathways.
This may reduce the volume of a localised fat deposit and improve the contour of the treated area over time. This is the established mechanism of focused ultrasound fat reduction; the extent of any improvement depends on the treatment area, the settings and your individual response.
The treatment is intended for localised contouring, not weight loss. Fat reduction is not a treatment goal in every facial area, particularly where keeping natural fullness is important.
Who may benefit?
Ultraformer MPT may help with a range of concerns across the face, neck and body, including:
- Skin laxity and mild to moderate sagging.
- Loss of firmness and elasticity.
- The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Reduced definition along the jawline and beneath the chin.
- Selected localised fat deposits, where appropriate.
- Contour concerns in areas such as the abdomen, upper arms and thighs.
Treatment is tailored to the area and tissue thickness, with careful consideration given to preserving natural facial volume. It is not a replacement for surgery.
Who it may not suit
It may not be suitable during pregnancy, over open wounds or active skin conditions, or with certain implants in the area.
We confirm suitability at your consultation.
Results
Your treatment at Avalera begins with a consultation to assess your skin and underlying tissues and discuss your goals. We then develop a treatment plan covering suitable areas, expected outcomes, and care before and after your session.
Results develop gradually and vary between individuals. The number of sessions and the intervals between them are determined by your assessment and your response to treatment.
Results vary from person to person and are not guaranteed. We explain what may be realistic for your skin at your consultation.
Aftercare
- We tell you what to avoid afterwards, and for how long.
- Use gentle skincare and a sunscreen with a high SPF.
- Follow the aftercare advice we give you, and contact us if anything worries you.

Common questions
Still have a question? Email us.
Do I need a consultation first?
Yes. We assess your skin, medical history and goals before any treatment, and explain your options and costs. You decide afterwards whether to go ahead.
Does it hurt?
Many people feel warmth and short pulses of heat. We can adjust the settings for comfort during the session.
When might I notice a change?
Any change tends to appear over the following weeks. We explain what to expect at your consultation.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your skin and your goals. We agree a plan with you at your consultation.
How much does it cost?
A single session is £750 for the face and £800 for the body. That is the price for one session, not a package, and includes VAT. Your consultation is free: we confirm your price there, and explain any package price if a course of sessions may suit you.
