Ultherapy® is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure using microfocused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin on the face, neck, under the chin, and décolleté. It stimulates collagen production in the foundational layers of the skin for a natural, youthful appearance.
How Ultherapy® Works
Ultherapy® delivers ultrasound energy deep into the skin, targeting areas typically treated in surgical facelifts. The focused ultrasound waves heat the targeted tissue layers and stimulate the body's natural healing response, increasing collagen production. This enhanced collagen remodeling results in gradual tightening, improved skin texture, and firmer skin over several months.
Additionally, Ultherapy® penetrates deeper than other non-invasive treatments, reaching the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), a key support structure of the face. This depth of treatment helps achieve a noticeable lift and contour improvement without incisions or downtime, making it an effective and safe choice for skin rejuvenation and anti-aging.
Benefits of Ultherapy®
Ultherapy® offers the following benefits:
- Non-invasive lifting with no surgery.
- Minimal downtime and quick recovery.
- Personalized treatments for various areas.
- FDA-approved technology with proven results.
These benefits make Ultherapy® a top choice for non-surgical skin tightening.
What to Expect During the Procedure
An Ultherapy® session lasts 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment area. The provider will cleanse the skin, apply an ultrasound gel, and use a handheld device to deliver focused ultrasound energy. Patients may feel a warm sensation or mild tingling as the energy penetrates the skin layers. After treatment, patients can immediately return to daily activities as no downtime is needed.
Ideal Candidates for Ultherapy®
Ultherapy® suits individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity seeking non-surgical lifting, including:
- Brow and forehead: Elevates brows and reduces eyelid sagging.
- Cheeks and jawline: Refines contours.
- Neck and chin: Diminishes double chin and sagging.
Ultherapy® offers a non-invasive solution for a natural lift.
Results and Longevity
With Ultherapy®, you can expect to see initial results immediately, with full improvement after 2-3 months as collagen forms. These results can last over a year, with maintenance treatments as needed. Over time, you'll often observe a more lifted, contoured appearance and enhanced skin elasticity, making Ultherapy® an exciting and hopeful long-term solution.
Potential Side Effects and Risks
Common side effects include:
- Redness lasting a few hours, often resembling mild sunburn.
- Swelling that subsides within days but may persist longer in sensitive areas.
- Tenderness or tingling for weeks, indicating collagen remodeling in progress.
- Minor bruising occasionally, especially in delicate skin areas.
Ultherapy® is not only FDA-cleared, but also recognized for its safety, with clinical studies consistently backing its efficacy and patient satisfaction.
