What is Ultherapy?

 Ultherapy is a breakthrough procedure that uses medical focused ultrasound for non-surgical cosmetic improvement of the skin.

 Ultherapy works deep below the surface – without harming the outer layer of skin –for dramatic and long-lasting benefits of facial firming, skin tightening and lifting.

How is this procedure different than other non-surgical skin tightening procedures?

 Ultherapy is the only skin rejuvenation procedure that uses ultrasound to image and treat the skin. The ability to utilize an established technology—to both see below the skin and then treat it with great precision – helps ensure both safety and satisfying results.

How does it work?

As with other ultrasound procedures, a smooth applicator placed upon your skin projects an image onto a screen. This same applicator is then used to deliver low levels of focused heat at just the right depth below the skin to achieve a positive effect, leaving the surface of your skin undisturbed.

Your skin’s response to the energy is to stimulate the growth of new collagen over time. A gradual tightening occurs, ultimately resulting in a natural lift and conditioning of the skin over time.

What does it feel like?

 Comfort levels vary from person to person. Patients may feel a prickling  or warm sensation beneath the skin when the ultrasound energy is being delivered into the tissue.

 You are able to return to your normal activities right away , and you can apply makeup if needed. Your skin may appear slightly flushed immediately after the treatment, but any redness will subside within a few hours.

Who is a good candidate for Ultherapy?

 Any patients who has experienced some sagging of their skin will benefit from this treatment.

What kind of results can I expect?

 The full effect will build gradually over the course of two to three months and some patients will see optimal results only after a few months.

Improvements around the eyes include lifting of brow line to reduce droopiness on the eyelid , smoothing of crows’ feet, and a more open , refreshed look to the eyes in general.

Sagging skin on the cheek can be tightened and lifted , which in turn can improve folds from the nose to mouth , folds from the mouth to jaw , and drooping corners of the mouth. Often, a more defined jaw line and overall improvements in skin texture.

Is Ultherapy safe?

Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy, which has been used in medical imaging and therapeutics, such as sonograms, for over 50 years, and clinical studies have confirmed the safety of this latest application. As with any medical procedure, there are general safety considerations, which your physician will review with you.
