Basic Information on UltraCel Q Plus and UltraFormer

What is UltraCel Q Plus?

UltraCel Q Plus is an HIFU machine made by the Korean company JCIS.
It is known for its fast speed, minimal pain, and affordable price.
The cartridges used for facial treatment include 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, and 4.5mm options.

Features of UltraFormer MPT

UltraFormer MPT is an HIFU machine manufactured by the Korean company Infix.
In my personal opinion, it is the most effective Korean-made HIFU machine.
While the pain is not as intense as with Ulthera, it is still noticeable and carries some risk.
The facial treatment cartridges include 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, and 4.5mm, and all of them allow the flexibility to choose between linear mode and dot mode.

Types of Medical HIFU and Their Differences

The technology was established in the 1990s for prostate cancer treatment.
In the early 2000s, the American company Ulthera was the first to develop HIFU for aesthetic medical use.
In the 2010s, many Korean-made HIFU machines were developed, making affordable sagging skin treatments possible.

Differences Between UltraCel Q Plus and UltraFormer MPT

Difference in Depth of Treatment and Effects

4.5mm targets the SMAS fascia and treats sagging skin.
3mm targets the subcutaneous fat layer, offering tightening effects.
2mm and 1mm target the dermis layer to tighten the skin.

Comparison of Treatment Methods

There are two methods of application: linear and dot.

With the linear method, heat is applied broadly, causing more tissue shrinkage.
With the dot method, heat is applied in a localized manner, which helps protect and stabilize tissue while promoting scar formation.

Evaluation of Pain and Downtime

Ulthera is known for being painful.
Pain from Korean-made HIFUs is relatively mild.
In general, there is no downtime, but after a 2mm depth treatment with Ulthera, the treated area may turn red in a linear pattern.

Effects of UltraCel Q Plus

Lift-Up Effects

It provides moderate lifting effects.
It’s beneficial to continue treatments every 3 months.

Approach to Improving Sagging

Treating the 4.5mm layer effectively improves sagging skin.

Considerations for Durability

Since UltraCel Q Plus causes less pain and is more affordable, it can be used more frequently.
It is recommended to undergo treatment every 3 months for best results.

Effects of UltraFormer MPT

Fat Reduction and Lift-Up

The 3mm layer treated in a linear pattern can result in significant fat reduction.
Dot treatment at the 4.5mm layer can help achieve a lifting effect.

Mechanism of Collagen Production

When heat is applied, the tissue is damaged.
During the healing process, collagen is produced.

Cost and Treatment Time

Pricing for UltraCel Q Plus

The treatment costs around 30,000 yen.

Pricing and Treatment Time for UltraFormer MPT

The cost is approximately 50,000 yen, and the treatment takes about 30 minutes.

Points to Consider When Choosing a Clinic

You may want to choose based on convenience and accessibility.
