Ultraformer MPT (HIFU)
Ultraformer MPT, the cutting-edge technology in skin tightening — now available at Rio Skin Clinic. No surgery. No downtime. Visible lifting, tightening, and contouring driven by your own biology. At Rio Skin Clinic, Dr. Leticia Spinelli is the first provider in British Columbia to offer the Ultraformer MPT, bringing this technology to the South Surrey and Greater Vancouver community.
Ultraformer MPTis a non-invasive treatment that uses cutting-edge High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology to tighten, lift, and contour the skin with unmatched comfort and speed.
By delivering focused ultrasound energy into deeper structural layers, Ultraformer MPT stimulates collagen and elastin production. This results in gradual lifting, improved firmness, and enhanced skin quality over time.
Ultraformer MPT is ideal for addressing skin laxity, sagging, fine lines, and loss of definition. Treatments are fully customized to address face, neck and jawline tightening, lifting and contouring, brow lifting.
Body areas where the skin tightening and laxity are resistant to diet and exercise can be treated, including abdomen, inner arms, inner thighs, knees.
Most patients find treatment very tolerable; no anesthetic is required for most areas. Patients may feel a warm, deep pulsing sensation as the energy is delivered. Sessions typically take 45–90 minutes depending on the areas treated.
No significant downtime allowing you to return to your routine immediately after. Mild redness, tenderness, or subtle swelling may occur for a few hours to a few days — this is normal.
Most patients notice an initial tightening/lifting effect, with results that continue to develop over 3–6 months as new collagen and elastin are formed. Optimal results are typically seen at the 3–6 month mark. Results can last up to one year.
