What is Ultherapy?

Are you looking for a natural way to tighten lax skin on your forehead, neck, and upper chest, without surgery? If so, Ultherapy is for you! Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest. It uses ultrasound energy to target deeper areas for collagen stimulation, producing natural-looking results that will only improve over time. Individuals who are looking for a more youthful appearance without undergoing a surgical facelift, Ultherapy can help!

The Ultherapy treatment targets areas beneath the skin using heat energy. The applicator is aimed at different depths, affecting the muscle, skin, and superficial wrinkles. This produces firmer skin with less sagging.

There are many benefits to Ultherapy treatments, including:

  • No general anesthesia or incisions.
  • No toxins or needles.
  • Procedures only 30-90 minutes long.
  • Minimal to no recovery time.
  • Natural results.

The Ultherapy Treatment

During the Ultherapy treatment, the targeted area will first be cleaned and an ultrasound gel applied. The Ultherapy device will be held gently against the skin, and the appropriate settings will be turned on. Ultrasound energy will be delivered to the targeted areas, producing a feeling of heat and tingling. The treatment should not be painful. One procedure can last up to 90 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

Ultherapy Recovery

There is typically no downtime following Ultherapy, so regular activities including exercise can be resumed right away. Short-term tingling, swelling, or tenderness may occur. The first results can be seen within a few days, depending on the growth rate of new collagen. Improvement will improve for up to three months. Most people only need one treatment; however, others may benefit from more than one depending on the amount of skin laxity present.

Candidates for Ultherapy Treatment

Adults with loose skin under the neck or chin or lines and wrinkles on the chest can often benefit from Ultherapy. Usually, people in their 30’s and older who have mild to moderate skin laxity see the best results. It is important to understand that Ultherapy is not a replacement for a surgical facelift procedure, and the results will not be as drastic. However, individuals who are not yet ready for a facelift who are looking for improvement are often happy with results.
