About the Ultraformer MPT
Ultraformer MPT is the latest generation of the ULTRAFORMER series by CLASSYS. MPT stands for Micro-Pulsed Technology. The device works with high-intensity focused ultrasound: like a magnifying glass, the handpiece concentrates ultrasound waves at a set point under the skin, and at that point the tissue heats above 60 °C and forms a thermal coagulation point.
The skin’s repair response then stimulates fibroblasts and collagen synthesis, which CLASSYS links to lifting, tightening and body contouring. At MED YU MED the device is used for non-surgical lifting of the face and neck and for tightening on body areas.

How focused ultrasound works
Focused ultrasound places its energy at a chosen depth, and the cartridge sets that depth. CLASSYS states that the device can reach the epidermis, the dermis, the superficial fat layer and the SMAS, the support layer that connects the skin to the muscles underneath. The clinician changes the cartridge by zone instead of running one depth across a whole face.
The two main modes place the energy differently. Normal mode delivers it in a dot pattern. MP mode spreads it through broad heating across the thermal coagulation zone, and CLASSYS states that MP mode delivers energy 2.5 times faster than normal mode. After treatment, CLASSYS describes collagen renewal passing through blood coagulation, wound contraction and the formation of new, tighter collagen.
Focused ultrasound tightens tissue but does not remove it, so very severe laxity needs a surgical assessment instead. Heat at depth carries risk, which is why the clinician maps the treatment lines and works near nerves and the eye area at conservative settings. Risks and who should not have the treatment are listed on the SMAS lifting treatment page.

Frequently asked questions about the device
What is the Ultraformer MPT?
It is a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) platform made by CLASSYS in South Korea and the latest generation of the ULTRAFORMER series. MPT stands for Micro-Pulsed Technology. The device delivers ultrasound energy to set depths under the skin through interchangeable cartridges.
Which depths can the Ultraformer MPT reach?
CLASSYS lists face cartridges at 1.5, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.5 mm, body cartridges at 6.0, 9.0 and 13 mm, and Booster cartridges at 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 mm. The clinician chooses the cartridge for each zone.
What is the difference between normal mode and MP mode?
Normal mode delivers energy in a dot pattern. MP mode delivers it through broad heating across the thermal coagulation zone, and CLASSYS states that it works 2.5 times faster than normal mode.
Is HIFU an alternative to a facelift?
No. Focused ultrasound can reach the SMAS, the layer a surgeon tightens during a facelift, but it does not cut or remove tissue and the degree of change is smaller. Very severe laxity needs a surgical assessment instead.
