I’ve always been that person who swears I’ll balance out my love for desserts with extra ab workouts, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realised my metabolism didn’t get the memo. No matter how disciplined I was with my fitness routine, the soft, persistent “food baby” around my midsection refused to budge. So when I heard about Ultraformer MPT, a non-invasive treatment that targets stubborn fat while tightening the skin, I decided it was time to try something new.

I booked my session with Dr Jane Pang at EHA Clinic, who patiently explained how the treatment works before marking out the areas around my lower abdomen that needed some help. The device, she said, uses Micro and Macro Focused Ultrasound (MMFU) technology to deliver controlled energy deep beneath the skin’s surface. This energy heats the tissue layers, stimulating collagen production and, at higher depths, gently breaking down fat cells, all without damaging the surrounding skin. The body then naturally processes and eliminates these fat cells over time, leaving the area looking firmer and more contoured.

When the treatment began, I felt a gentle warmth spreading beneath my skin. There was no pain, just a deep sense of heat that grew more noticeable in some areas than others — particularly where I had a bit more fat. Dr Pang adjusted the settings to keep me comfortable throughout. The entire session took less than an hour, and when it was over, there was no redness, swelling, or downtime. I could easily go about the rest of my day, which was a huge plus for me.

It’s now been about a month since my treatment, and while Ultraformer MPT isn’t a “see-it-tomorrow” kind of procedure, I’ve started to notice subtle changes. My lower abdomen feels a little firmer, and my jeans fit just a bit more comfortably. Dr Pang explained that results typically peak around the three-month mark, as collagen continues to rebuild and the body gradually metabolises the treated fat cells. The effects can last for up to a year, depending on one’s lifestyle and maintenance routine.

What I appreciate most about this treatment is how natural the results look and feel. There’s no dramatic “before and after” shock, just a steady, realistic improvement that fits my body’s rhythm. I didn’t have to sacrifice my dessert habit or endure any recovery time, which, for me, makes Ultraformer MPT a win.

Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Especially for those who, like me, have tried to out-crunch their midsection to no avail. Ultraformer MPT offers a science-backed, non-invasive way to refine your contours and give your skin a subtle lift, no surgery, no pain, just patience and progress.

So while I still won’t be giving up my tiramisu anytime soon, I can confidently say my “food baby” days are finally numbered. To find out more, visit EHA Clinic here, or call them on 6235 3325 to schedule your appointment today!
