Ultherapy involves the use of ultrasound to lift and tighten skin. The revolutionary method means no surgery and no downtime. In fact, Ultherapy is the only FDA approved non-invasive method to treat the neck, chin, and eyebrow area to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles plus sagging. Overall, you will experience a more rejuvenated appearance.

What is Ultherapy?

The use of medical-related ultrasound therapy has been around for over 50 years. However, Ultherapy has recently been studied through clinical trials and used well over a million times as a treatment worldwide for skin rejuvenation. The revolutionary ultrasound therapy boosts the skin’s ability to manufacture collagen. As you age, your skin’s collagen production naturally slows down. This causes fine lines and wrinkles to develop and your skin also loses its firm, plump appearance.

How Does Ultherapy Boost Collagen Production?

Ultherapy relies on the use of focused ultrasound to create a thermal effect beneath the skin’s surface. The process accelerates the skin’s collagen production to manufacture new collagen which improves your skin’s elasticity and creates a more youthful, plump appearance. Also, the physician can clearly see the layers of tissue using the ultrasound device during treatment, so she knows exactly what regions to target for the best results.

Am I a Good Candidate for Ultherapy?

The best candidate for Ultherapy is usually in their 30s or older and should have mild to moderate skin laxity. Remember, Ultherapy is not a replacement for a classic facelift, but it does help lift the skin for a more youthful appearance without being invasive. The ultrasound-based treatment is ideal for someone who does not yet need a facelift but wants to tweak the facial skin for a more youthful look.

How Many Ultherapy Treatments are Needed?

You will only require one Ultherapy treatment. However, future touchups might refresh your appearance.

What Does Ultherapy Treatments Feel Like and Are There Any Side Effects?

You may feel the energy as it penetrates key areas of the skin, but most people do not feel any significant discomfort. Following treatment, there may be areas of the skin that appear slightly red, but the redness goes away within a few hours. On occasion, a patient might have slight swelling, tingling, or tenderness in the treated region, but this typically does not last exceptionally long.
