We investigate the ultrafast dynamics of ${\mathrm{Cd}}_{2}{\mathrm{Os}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}$, a prototype material showing a Lifshitz-type transition as a function of temperature. In the paramagnetic metallic state, the photoreflectivity shows a subpicosecond relaxation, followed by a featureless small offset. In the antiferromagnetic state slightly below ${T}_{N}$, however, the photoreflectivity resurges over hundreds of picoseconds, which goes beyond the usual realm of the effective-temperature model. Our observations are consistent with the Lifshitz phase transition of ${\mathrm{Cd}}_{2}{\mathrm{Os}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}$ driven by the evolution of the local magnetic moment.
