A well-prepared Ultraformer MPT session is more comfortable and produces better results. The good news: preparation is simple and doesn't require complex restrictions. This guide takes you through the recommendations week by week, day by day.
2 Weeks Before
- Avoid recent fillers: if you got hyaluronic acid, wait at least 2 weeks before Ultraformer MPT.
- No recent Botox: wait 2 weeks for the toxin to stabilize.
- Avoid aggressive peelings: nothing of medium-deep intensity in the previous 2 weeks.
- Suspend isotretinoin (if applicable): need to be off for at least 6 months.
3-5 Days Before
- Stop retinol: 3-5 days before, to reduce skin sensitivity.
- Stop glycolic acid: same as retinol.
- Stop topical vitamin C in high concentration: 3 days before.
- Avoid aspirin: if you take it for cardiovascular reasons, consult your doctor (don't suspend without medical authorization).
- Hydrate well: drink 2-3 liters of water daily.
The Day Before
- Avoid alcohol (worsens post-session inflammation).
- Sleep 7-8 hours minimum.
- Anti-inflammatory diet: rich in omega-3, antioxidants, vitamin C.

- Confirm appointment time and complete medical history if first session.
Day of the Session
- Arrive without makeup: with clean and moisturized skin.
- Eat normally: no need to fast.
- 1 hour before: if you tolerate them, paracetamol or ibuprofen helps reduce sensitivity.
