Ultraformer MPT Before and After: Real Results and How the Skin Evolves

By Dr. Olga González · Aesthetic Medicine Specialist · Updated April 2026 · 8 min read

When a patient searches "Ultraformer MPT before and after" what she really wants to know is: will it show? When will it show? Will it look like the photos I saw on Instagram? These are legitimate questions and the honest answer requires understanding that Ultraformer MPT is a biological treatment, not a mechanical filler. It does not push the skin upward: it stimulates the body to produce new collagen. And that takes time.

1. Why Are Ultraformer MPT Results Progressive?

The HIFU of Ultraformer MPT generates controlled thermal microlesions at three different depths (1.5mm, 3.0mm and 4.5mm). These microlesions trigger a controlled inflammatory cascade that activates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for making collagen and elastin. This process, called neocollagenesis, is not instant: it takes weeks to produce mature fibers and months to remodel the complete tissue.

That's why comparing a photo from session day with the next day's photo doesn't make much sense. The truly useful comparison is between the day 0 "before" and the 3 or 6 month "after."

2. Before and After: Day 1 (Immediate Post-Session)

What happens in the first 24 hours after Ultraformer MPT:

• Slight immediate tightening: due to thermal contraction of existing collagen, there is a subtle "flash lifting" effect. It's not the final result, but it's already noticeable.
• Redness: the skin may look pink for 2 to 6 hours. It resolves on its own.
• Sensitivity: sensation of "having done facial exercise" for 24-72 hours, especially when chewing.
• Mild occasional inflammation: in some cases there is slight swelling in jaw or cheekbones. Resolves on its own.

In visual terms, a photo of day 1 vs day 0 shows a subtle but real change. The skin looks "more awake," the contour a little more defined, but it's not the dramatic result seen in 3-month photos.

3. Weeks 1 to 4: The Silent Phase

This is the phase that many patients find frustrating because "nothing visible is happening." Actually a lot is happening, just internally:

Photos of week 2 and week 4 vs the before show moderate changes: more uniform skin, slight additional tightening, better texture quality. The change in facial contour is still modest.

4. Month 3: The Visible Result Peak

At 90 days the new collagen is matured and organized. This is the moment when the lifting is best appreciated:

• Visibly more defined jaw
• Notable reduction of double chin (in patients with moderate sagging)
• Higher and more supported cheekbones
• Slightly raised eyebrows
• Smoother and firmer neck
• Smaller pores and more luminous skin

This is the most representative "after" photograph to show the public. In most adult patients with mild to moderate sagging, the change between day 0 and month 3 is noticeable to the eye.

5. Month 6: Consolidated Result

Between month 3 and month 6 the result continues to improve slightly because tissue remodeling continues. At 6 months the result is consolidated and remains relatively stable until 12-18 months, when the maintenance session is recommended.

6-month photos are usually slightly better than 3-month ones in terms of skin quality and lifting subtlety.

6. How Before and After Photos Are Documented in Consultation

For before and after photos to be useful and honest, they must be taken with standardized criteria:

• Same light, same distance, same angle, same camera
• Without makeup, without prior treatments in the last 24 hours
• Same neutral facial expression
• Taken at day 0, month 3 and month 6
• With written informed consent from the patient

In consultation you can see real documented cases of patients with biotype similar to yours, which gives much more realistic expectation than the viral photos on social media.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do Ultraformer MPT results appear?

There is a slight immediate change. The true result is noticed between week 4 and 6, reaches the peak at 3 months and consolidates at 6 months.

How long do results last?

Between 12 and 18 months on average, depending on age, habits and skin care.

Are viral photos on social media real?

Some are, but many use different lighting or angles. The reliable photos are those taken with standardized criteria, ideally comparing day 0 with month 3 or 6.

How much does Ultraformer MPT cost in Medellín?

At Dr. Juventud the facial treatment of 1 zone is $2,500,000 COP and 2 zones $3,800,000 COP, including photographic follow-up.
