Visual proof

What the first session is
actually trying to improve.

Before people book a first appointment, they usually want three things to feel real: that the clinic has published real treatment context, that the lifting goal is subtle rather than overdone, and that there is at least one legible client-result story. These are Beauty Affairs-hosted assets, not generic stock filler.

Client story
A clearer before-and-after style signal

This is the strongest proof asset in the set because people can immediately understand what changed around the eye area. Results vary and consultation still matters.

Lift-focused lower-face visual

This keeps the first-session offer grounded in the actual beauty outcome people are buying: firmer lower face, cheek support, and a more awake look over time.

This supports the A$99 entry offer without pretending to be a results panel. It tells the user the clinic standard is premium while the left card carries the clearest proof.

Appointment walkthrough

What happens —
from arrival to aftercare.

Your first Ultraformer MPT appointment at Beauty Affairs MediSpa includes consultation and treatment in a single visit. Here is what happens at each stage.

1
Arrival — 0 min
Check in and intake form

Complete a brief health intake form covering your medical history, current skincare, and any contraindications. Arrive with clean skin — no makeup, SPF, or skincare on the treatment areas.

2
Consultation — 15–20 min
Skin assessment and treatment plan

The practitioner assesses your skin, discusses your goals, confirms the treatment areas and shot count, and sets realistic outcome expectations. This is the right time to ask any questions about the treatment before it begins.

3
Preparation — 10 min
Cleanse and topical anaesthetic

Skin is thoroughly cleansed. Topical anaesthetic cream may be applied to reduce discomfort — particularly for jaw and bony areas. This takes 10–15 minutes to take effect before treatment begins.

4
Treatment — 30–50 min
Ultraformer MPT session

The Classys Ultraformer MPT handpiece delivers focused ultrasound energy in precise shots across the agreed treatment areas. You will feel heat and a sharp prickling sensation at each shot — this is normal and confirms energy delivery at the correct depth. Discomfort ends immediately as the handpiece moves.

5
Post-treatment — 5–10 min
Aftercare and results briefing

The practitioner applies soothing product and provides written aftercare instructions. You receive a clear results timeline — when to expect early changes, what the 3-month and 6-month results will look like, and when to consider the next session.

How to prepare

Before your first session —
what to do and what to avoid.

✓ Do before your session
Arrive with clean skin — no makeup, SPF, or skincare products on treatment areas
Stay well hydrated — drink plenty of water the day before and day of treatment
Eat before your appointment — don't attend on an empty stomach, particularly if you are sensitive to discomfort
List your current medications — bring a list or be ready to discuss any prescription medications with the practitioner
Arrive 5–10 minutes early — to complete intake paperwork without rushing
Ask all your questions during consultation — before treatment begins, not during
✗ Avoid before your session
Alcohol — avoid for 24 hours before treatment; increases skin sensitivity
Sun exposure — avoid 48 hours before; sunburned or tan skin should not be treated
Blood-thinning medications — aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil (unless medically required) — increases bruising risk
Retinoids or AHAs — stop 3–5 days before; these sensitise the skin and increase post-treatment reaction
Active skin infections or cold sores — reschedule if any active skin issues are present in treatment areas
Botox or fillers within 2 weeks — allow injectable treatments to fully settle before Ultraformer MPT
How it feels

Sensation by treatment area —
what to expect.

Ultraformer MPT delivers focused ultrasound energy in pulses. The sensation varies by treatment area — bony and thinner-skin areas are more intense than fleshier zones. All discomfort ends immediately when the handpiece moves to the next shot position.

Forehead
Mild — manageable
Mid-face / cheeks
Mild to moderate
Lower cheek / jowl
Moderate to intense
Jaw / mandible
Most intense area
Neck
Moderate
Décolletage
Mild to moderate

Topical anaesthetic cream reduces sensation across all areas. Most clients describe the treatment as intense but entirely manageable. The discomfort is not sustained — it lasts only the fraction of a second each shot takes to deliver.

First 48 hours aftercare

What to do after
your first session.

The 48 hours following your Ultraformer MPT session are when your skin is most reactive. Following these guidelines protects the treatment outcome and reduces unnecessary discomfort.

First 24 hours — most reactive phase
Protect and rest
Expect mild redness, swelling, and tenderness — especially around the jaw and cheekbones. This is a normal response to ultrasound energy.
Do not apply makeup, active skincare, or SPF with chemical filters in the first 24 hours
Apply only gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser if needed — hyaluronic acid serum is ideal
Avoid heat exposure — saunas, hot showers, steam rooms, hot yoga
Avoid strenuous exercise — elevated heart rate increases inflammation response
Stay out of direct sun — UV exposure immediately after treatment can cause hyperpigmentation
Days 2–7 — settling phase
Gentle return to routine
Redness and swelling typically resolve within 2–3 days. Some clients experience mild tenderness to touch for up to 7 days — this is normal.
Resume regular skincare gradually — reintroduce actives (retinoids, AHAs) only from day 5–7 and watch for sensitivity
Apply mineral SPF 30+ daily — sun protection is essential throughout the recovery and results phase
Light exercise can resume from day 2. Avoid contact sports if jaw area is still tender.
Makeup can be applied from day 2 — use gentle, non-comedogenic products
Weeks 1–6 — collagen building phase
Results begin
The Ultraformer MPT energy triggers a collagen remodelling process that builds gradually over weeks and months — not days.
First visible changes appear at 4–6 weeks — early tightening and improved skin texture
Maintain daily SPF use — UV exposure degrades collagen and directly counteracts the treatment result
Stay hydrated and maintain a consistent skincare routine — results are supported by skin health
Full results appear at 3–6 months — resist comparing at 2–3 weeks when changes are still building
When results appear

Results timeline —
what to expect and when.

Ultraformer MPT works by stimulating collagen production, which builds gradually. This is not an instant-result treatment. Understanding the timeline avoids the common mistake of judging results too early.

4–6 weeks
Early
First changes visible
Subtle tightening and improved skin texture. Most noticeable in photos rather than mirrors. The collagen remodelling process is underway.
3 months
Peak
Most significant change
The 3-month mark is when most clients see the clearest improvement — jawline definition, cheek lift, and skin firmness are all more visible.
6–18 months
Sustained
Results hold and gradually settle
Results from a well-delivered Ultraformer MPT session can last 12–18 months. Most clients plan a maintenance session at 12 months.
Common questions

First session —
what people ask.

Can I go back to work the same day?+
Yes for most clients. Mild redness typically fades within 2–4 hours for most skin types. If you have an important event or meeting immediately after, allow a buffer of at least 4 hours. Some clients with more reactive skin may experience redness for up to 24 hours.
What if I don't see results after my first session?+
First-session results depend on your starting skin condition, age, and the treatment areas covered. Some clients see clear changes at 6 weeks; others see the most significant change at 3–4 months. If you reach 6 months without any visible change, discuss this with your practitioner — a second session or adjusted treatment plan may be appropriate.
How is the GlowRef first session different from a regular session?+
The GlowRef referred first session at A$99 is an introductory experience designed to let you experience the consultation process, the treatment, and the results timeline before committing to a full-price course. The same Classys Ultraformer MPT device and practitioners are used. The referred rate applies to the first session only; subsequent sessions are at the clinic's standard rates.
Should I book CBD or Brookvale for my first session?+
Both clinics use the same device and standards. Choose based on which is more practical from your suburb. Tell GlowRef your suburb and we will confirm the better fit — CBD is generally more accessible for Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, and North Shore clients; Brookvale for Northern Beaches and Forest District clients.

GlowRef is an independent matching and referral service. Clinical information is general in nature. Treatments are provided by partner clinics. Individual results vary. Consult your practitioner for personalised advice.
