Ultraformer MPT is not just a face treatment. Thanks to its different cartridges and penetration depths, it is one of the most versatile devices for treating sagging and firming in multiple body zones. In this article we detail each area, what to expect and how it's worked at our clinic.
Facial Areas: Ultraformer MPT from Forehead to Neck
The facial area is where Ultraformer MPT delivers the most spectacular results:
- Forehead and brows: lifts dropping eyebrows, smooths horizontal lines, opens up the gaze.
- Eye contour: with the 1.5mm cartridge, treats periocular skin without risk. Reduces crow's feet and upper eyelid sagging.
- Cheeks and cheekbones: restores projected volume, lifts descended tissues, improves nasolabial folds.
- Facial contour and jawline: defines and firms the mandibular contour, fights loss of chin definition.
- Double chin: one of the best results. Reduces submental fat and tightens neck skin.
- Neck: treats platysmal bands, neck sagging ("turkey neck"), with 3 and 4.5mm cartridges.
Body Areas: Beyond the Face
Ultraformer MPT is also highly effective on the body:
- Abdomen: firms saggy skin after weight loss or postpartum (it's not a fat-reduction treatment, but for tightening skin).
- Arms: treats inner arm sagging ("bat wings") with excellent results.
- Inner thighs: common sagging zone that responds very well to HIFU.
- Glutes: non-invasive lifting effect, especially at the gluteal-thigh junction.
- Décolleté: treats sagging and fine wrinkles in décolleté with superficial cartridges.
- Knees: peri-patellar sagging is an increasingly common indication.
How Many Cartridges Are Needed Per Area?
The number of shots varies by area:
- Full face: 600–800 shots per protocol.
- Neck: 200–300 shots.
- Isolated double chin: 100–150 shots.
- Abdomen: 600–1200 shots depending on area size.
- Arms (pair): 400–600 shots.
At Dra. Juventud we evaluate each patient in free consultation to design the exact protocol before quoting.
Combined Protocol: Maximum Results
For patients seeking global results, we combine areas in a single session. The most requested protocol at our clinic is:
- Full face (forehead, cheeks, jawline, double chin).
- Anterior and lateral neck.
- Décolleté.
This complete protocol takes between 60 and 90 minutes and is performed in a single visit. Results are transformative and last between 12 and 18 months.

The neck is one of Ultraformer MPT's star zones because non-surgical cervical lifting is historically difficult. MPT technology with its 3.0mm cartridge works directly on neck dermis, reducing "cervical rings" appearance and characteristic 40+ sagging.
The décolleté also responds very well. With the 1.5mm cartridge we treat décolleté skin quality (vertical lines from sleeping on side, spots, lack of luminosity).
Arms: Bye to "Bat Wings"
Inner arm (triceps area) is one of the most requested places. Mild to moderate brachial sagging responds excellently to Ultraformer MPT with 4.5mm cartridge to treat deep fascia and 3.0mm for dermis. If sagging is severe with significant skin excess, surgery (brachioplasty) remains more effective.
Abdomen and Flanks
Abdomen is perfect for Ultraformer MPT in patients who lost weight, after pregnancies or with age-related sagging. Treats supraumbilical sagging, infraumbilical, flanks (lateral zone), stretch marks (moderate improvement on white stretch marks). Not a fat-reduction treatment; it's skin tightening.
Glutes and Inner Thighs
"Non-surgical glute lifting" finds in Ultraformer MPT one of its most reliable options. Works the lower glute pole sagging and improves overall firmness. Inner thigh, a difficult area to tone with exercise, also responds very well.
Knees: The Forgotten Zone
The skin above the knee often ages before the rest of the thigh, generating that characteristic "sack" many patients seek to correct. Ultraformer MPT with 3.0mm cartridge is very effective here, with results visible at 2-3 months.
Frequently asked questions
Can the entire body be treated in a single session?
It depends on the areas and goals. It's possible to treat several zones in the same visit, though for large body areas it's sometimes split into two sessions weeks apart.
Does Ultraformer MPT work for localized fat?
Ultraformer MPT mainly acts on sagging and skin. For localized fat reduction other treatments exist (like cryolipolysis). However, in areas like the double chin there is some submental fat reduction component.
What's the best age to treat each area?
For the face, many patients start at 30–35 years as prevention. For the body, more frequent after 35–40 years or after weight changes.
What zones does it treat?
Whole face, neck, décolleté, arms, abdomen, flanks, upper back, glutes, inner thighs and knees.
Multiple zones in one session?
Yes. Combine 2-3 areas. Total 60-120 minutes.
Cost for multiple zones?
1 zone $2.5M, 2 zones $3.8M COP. Body combinations quoted in consultation.
