Ultraformer MPT aftercare is simple but important to maximize results. There's no real recovery time, but a few key habits during the first weeks make the difference between a good and an excellent result.
First 24-48 Hours: Critical Period
What to do:
- Apply gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer.
- Use sunscreen SPF 50+ if going outdoors.
- Drink plenty of water (collagen needs hydration).
- Sleep with extra pillow if there's mild facial inflammation.
What to avoid:
- Intense exercise that increases body temperature.
- Sauna, steam room, hot tub.
- Direct sun exposure without protection.
- Alcohol (worsens inflammation).
- Aggressive cosmetic products (retinol, glycolic acid, vitamin C).
First Week: Collagen Activation
The first 7 days are when your body activates the inflammatory cascade that produces new collagen. Continue with:
- Daily SPF 50+ sunscreen.
- Gentle pH-neutral cleanser.
- Adequate hydration.
- Anti-inflammatory diet (omega-3, antioxidants).
You can resume normal exercise from day 3-4. Avoid facial massages and aggressive treatments until day 7.
First Month: Progressive Results
During the first month, integrate these habits to maximize neocollagenesis:
- Topical retinol: from week 2-3, apply 2-3 nights per week.
- Topical vitamin C: in the morning, helps protect new collagen.
- Niacinamide: calms post-treatment skin and improves texture.
- Hyaluronic acid: deep hydration that supports the regeneration process.
Months 3-6: Optimal Result
This is the period when you'll see the maximum result. Maintain:
- Daily sun protection (always).
- Active skincare routine with retinol + vitamin C.
- Anti-inflammatory diet rich in vitamin C and protein.
- Quality sleep (7-9 hours).
- Manage stress (cortisol degrades collagen).
At 6 months, schedule the follow-up consultation to evaluate results and plan annual maintenance.
