Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin deep within the skin. This natural process helps to lift and tighten the skin, addressing signs of aging and promoting a smoother, more contoured appearance.
Ultherapy targets the deeper layers of your skin using ultrasound energy. This energy heats the tissue, triggering a natural healing response and stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. The result is gradual and natural-looking improvement in skin firmness and elasticity over time.
Ultherapy can even go deep enough to reach the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS), which is the layer of tissue that surgeons adjust during a facelift. By using focused ultrasound energy, the treatment bypasses the surface of your skin to reach this foundational layer without disrupting the skin. The ultrasound energy stimulates collagen production in the SMAS layer as well as the dermis and other fibromuscular layers leading to a tightening and lifting effect over time.
Ultherapy is effective on visible areas of lax skin such as
• Face
• Eyebrows
• Jawline/Jowls
• Under the chin/Double Chin
• Neck
• Chest/Decolletage
• Elbows
• Knees
Before your treatment, you will have a chance to discuss your concerns with us and find out if you are a good candidate for non-invasive facial rejuvenation. We will ask you about your medical history and find out more about your goals. Make sure to bring a list of any questions that you have about the treatment so you can ask them once you are in our office.
You will also receive information about the areas we can treat, what to expect from the process, and what results you can expect in your situation. There is no need for any special preparation and you will not need to arrange for post-treatment recovery or a ride home
Each Ultherapy treatment is personalized based on your skin characteristics. Factors like age, skin type, body area, gender, BMI, and even your smoking history can affect how we approach your session. The thickness and depth of the skin’s tissue layers can vary from one person to another, which is why it’s important to tailor each treatment accordingly.
With Ultherapy, we can use imaging to precisely identify the collagen-rich areas in your skin and target them at the right depth. Whether it’s at 1.5mm, 3.0mm, or 4.5mm, we deliver the ultrasound energy exactly where it’s needed, reaching the dermis and beyond.
The results of Ultherapy can last up to a year or more, depending on your skin’s natural aging process and how well you care for your skin after treatment. While Ultherapy helps stimulate collagen production, the aging process continues, so you may choose to have maintenance treatments to preserve their results and keep your skin looking firm and lifted.
If you answer “yes” to most of these, Ultherapy could be a great option. However, the best way to know for sure is to schedule a consultation where we can assess your skin.
Ultherapy is a good option for patients with sensitive skin. Since it’s non-invasive and doesn’t affect the skin’s surface, there’s minimal risk of irritation or reactions that are common with other treatments. However, we’ll still evaluate your skin type during your consultation to ensure Ultherapy is the best option for you and to make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
Almost all patients only need one Ultherapy treatment to see significant results, but the number of sessions can depend on your individual skin condition and goals. Some patients with more advanced skin laxity may benefit from two sessions.
Those with open wounds, severe skin conditions, or active infections in the treatment area should wait until these issues have been resolved. Ultherapy is not recommended for patients with pacemakers or other electronic implants, as the ultrasound energy may interfere with these devices. Pregnant women are also advised to avoid Ultherapy, as the effects of the treatment on pregnancy have not been thoroughly studied.
Ultherapy can help you achieve smoother, firmer skin and a refreshed appearance without the need for surgery or downtime.
