The surprising Ultraformer MPT benefit: beyond lifting, HIFU notably improves skin texture, reduces dilated pore appearance and gives a characteristic luminosity that many patients didn't expect. It's a lifting treatment that also improves overall skin quality.
Why Does Ultraformer MPT Improve Pores and Texture?
Pores dilate mainly for two reasons: excess sebum production and loss of dermal support around the hair follicle. With age and collagen loss, the dermal walls surrounding each pore lose firmness and the pore "opens" or appears larger.
Ultraformer MPT with the 1.5mm cartridge acts precisely on the papillary and superficial reticular dermis, stimulating new collagen production in follicular walls. With more structural support around each pore, the pore contracts and appears visibly smaller.
The 1.5mm Cartridge: The Great Responsible
Of the three cartridges used in the Ultraformer MPT facial protocol, the 1.5mm is the one most impacting visual skin quality:
- 1.5mm: superficial dermis, high impact on pores, texture, luminosity.
- 3.0mm: deep dermis, moderate impact on texture.
- 4.5mm: SMAS, indirect impact on texture.
Documented Skin Quality Improvements
- Apparent pore size reduction: especially in T-zone (nose and forehead). Effect is gradual and maximizes at 2-3 months.
- Irregular texture improvement: smoother to touch and visually more uniform skin.
- Greater luminosity: new collagen and better fiber organization make skin reflect light better.
- Superficial acne scars: very superficial "icepick" type scars may improve moderately.
- Opacity reduction: less dull skin with better overall tone.
Is It Effective on Oily Skin with Large Pores?
Oily skin with dilated pores is paradoxically one that benefits most from Ultraformer MPT for texture improvement:
- Oily skin has more residual collagen (it's thicker), meaning greater HIFU response potential.
- Pore dilation associated with loss of dermal support corrects directly with the 1.5mm cartridge.
- Firmness and texture results in oily skin are usually more marked than in dry skin.
Combination with Specific Skin Treatments
To maximize skin quality improvement with lifting, Ultraformer MPT combines very well with:
- Mesotherapy with vitamins: direct dermal nutrition + HIFU stimulation.
- Gentle peeling (enzymatic or AHA): superficial renewal that enhances luminosity.
- Topical retinol: continuous fibroblast stimulation between sessions.
- Topical niacinamide: sebum regulation and barrier reinforcement.

Does it reduce dilated pores?
Yes. 1.5mm cartridge acts on superficial dermis around the follicle. Effect maximizes at 2-3 months.
Does it improve skin texture?
Yes. Smoother, more luminous and uniform skin from new collagen.
Does it work for acne scars?
Improves superficial scars moderately. For deep scars, fractional laser is more specific.
