Ultherapy: See the Beauty of Sound

Share:

Ultherapy is a breakthrough non-surgical technology that uses safe ultrasound energy to lift, tone and tighten skin. Ultherapy deposits focused ultrasound energy deep beneath the skin at the optimal temperature for collagen regeneration.

By stimulating the deep structural support layers of the skin, a natural, regenerative response is initiated, stimulating the growth of new collagen, which lifts and tightens the skin over time. During the procedure, one can feel a tiny amount of ultrasound energy being deposited to precise depths, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated.

Ultherapy is also the only technology to use ultrasound imaging, which allows dermatologists to see the layers of tissue targeted during the treatment to ensure the energy is deposited in the skin layers where it will be most beneficial.

The procedure typically takes 30-90 minutes. The duration of the treatment will depend on the area being treated. After Ultherapy Procedure, there is no downtime, you can have your normal activities as soon as the procedure is complete.

Ulthera can work in just one treatment and it is usually enough to achieve visible and effective results. Ultherapy ultrasound stimulates collagen production in the skin, resulting in a clinically significant lift of tissue over 2-3 months and continue to improve up to 6 months after the procedure.

After the procedure, the skin might appear red at first, but the redness should disappear within a few hours. Only a few patients feel slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to the touch, but these symptoms are temporary and disappear.

In brief, Ulthera is a safe, non-surgical face lift ultrasound treatment which is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that lifts and tightens the face, neck, submental area and eyebrows, and smooth lines and wrinkles on the chest (décolletage).
