Ultraformer MPT explained

Ultraformer MPT is a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device made by Classys, a Korean company. In Korea it is sold as Shurink Universe, the newer version of Shurink. It is one of the most common lifting treatments in Seoul.

How Ultraformer MPT works

Focused ultrasound heats small points at set depths, such as 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 mm. The deepest cartridge targets the SMAS, the layer surgeons lift in a facelift. The heat tightens tissue and triggers new collagen. MPT adds a pulse mode that spreads heat in a line, which many people find faster and more comfortable.
