The FDA-cleared treatment employs advanced ultrasound technology for skin lifting and tightening. The cheek, neck and brow for lines or wrinkles. Fortunately, Ultherapy offers a natural approach for those seeking an answer to facial restoration.

While nearly all cosmetic treatments only affect the skin’s surface, Ultherapy is unique because it penetrates to depths of structural layers — the deepest areas addressed in cosmetic procedures. The procedure reaches the deep layers with ultrasound energy in order to activate the collagen-building response of your body from that point.  With age, collagen production begins to stop which causes the skin to sag and creates a crepe-like surface of wrinkles. With Ultherapy the skin begins to response, the skin begins to produce new collagen and gradually lifts and tightens. Dynamic imaging has long been hailed as one of the benefits to Ultherapy — because we can see under the skin, in real time, what is happening. The method ensures the maximum effectiveness of the therapy goes directly to where it is needed, giving a customized approach for improving safety and efficacy.

This procedure is considered the Gold Standard for non-surgical skin lifting and tightening.   Ultherapy is also a fast treatment. The only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that specifically can lift and tightens skin. Not only does this endorsement speak to the safety of Ultherapy, but it speaks volumes about its ability to deliver visible results that last. Ultherapy is needle-free, incisionless and downtime-less compared to conventional face-lifts. There is no downtime and patients may return to their daily activities immediately displaying fresh, unique skin. So it is a better option for the time poor. The procedure usually lasts between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the areas treated and can be performed with minimal discomfort if necessary topical anesthetics and cooling are used.

Is Ultherapy Right for You?

Ultherapy is best for people who have mild to moderate skin laxity and desire a non-surgical option capable of lifting/firming the overlying soft tissue. Designed for patients who have begun to experience signs of aging such as sagging skin around the neck and jawline, looking revitalized from wrinkles or fine lines. But for the most accurate idea of whether Ultherapy is suited to your individual complexion, you should consider booking an appointment with a skincare professional.
