Ultherapy®

Aging skin is a normal part of growing older that, unfortunately, affects us all. Over time, the collagen and elastin in the skin start to break down, causing a once plump, firm, and healthy-looking face to look saggy and loose with a loss of definition. Collagen, a vital protein that provides structure and strength to the skin, can also cause wrinkles and fine lines to form when the quality and quantity of it starts to decline. Thankfully, Ultherapy® is a cutting-edge, non-invasive ultrasound-based treatment that works hard to combat these effects. By stimulating collagen production, the treatment helps lift and tighten the face, neck, and décolletage for a more youthful appearance without downtime.

What logo Is Ultherapy®?

Ultherapy® is a non-invasive skin-tightening treatment that reaches the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production for a natural-looking skin-tightening effect without surgery or downtime. It is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin, and brow skin and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest.
By creating new collagen within the skin, Ultherapy® improves skin health and its elasticity levels so that it’s stronger and firmer. The treatment relies on ultrasound energy to treat the skin’s deep support structures, creating a natural lift and firming effect. Plus, the device features an ultrasound image to see where the energy hits the deep layers of skin, delivering it exactly where it needs to be targeted.

How Does Ultherapy® Work?

Ultherapy® relies on micro-focused ultrasound to generate a thermal effect under the skin to jump-start natural collagen production. With new, fresh, better-organized collagen bundles, the skin emerges with a more youthful appearance, enhanced firmness, and improved tone.
As we age, collagen naturally breaks down, causing a loss of skin elasticity, firmness, and strength. But with Ultherapy® and its unique ultrasound technology, the treatment improves the skin’s texture and overall appearance.
The non-surgical Ultherapy® device bypasses the surface of the skin to deliver ultrasound energy via focused imaging. This energy is targeted at the right depths to affect the amount of collagen in the skin.

What are The Benefits of Ultherapy®?

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. The ultrasound energy that Ultherapy® delivers is placed where your skin will benefit from it the most. The ultrasound emitted can reach far deeper into the skin than other non-invasive treatments for optimal collagen stimulation and, therefore, natural-looking results.

Ultherapy® is also FDA-cleared to treat the skin on the neck, under the chin, and on the brows while improving fine lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. The non-invasive, non-surgical treatment is excellent for stimulating collagen production, leading to natural-looking results and enhanced skin firmness and elasticity over time. Plus, the device’s precision technology and customizability allow it to be tailored to your needs so you can achieve your aesthetic goals without downtime. The collagen-stimulating effects continue to improve long after the treatment, giving way to results that last one year or longer.

The logo Treatment Process

Unlike other skin-tightening and collagen-producing treatments, Ultherapy® requires just one treatment session to help lift and tighten the skin.
Before your session, a consultation is recommended so we can assess your skin’s current state, understand your concerns, and determine if you are a candidate for Ultherapy®. Then, we will create a custom plan designed just for you to help you meet your goals.
During the treatment, your skin will first be cleansed, and the specific treatment areas will be identified and possibly marked. Ultrasound conductive gel will be applied to allow the handpiece to glide across the skin effortlessly. Numbing cream will also be applied to the treatment areas to make the procedure more comfortable. Your treatment will be customized using Ultherapy®’s ultrasound imaging to target the areas that will benefit you most.
While the Ultherapy® handpiece is applied to the skin and the ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel the energy being deposited. There may be some mild tingling or a tightening sensation, but this lasts only as the ultrasound is delivered into the skin.
Immediately after Ultherapy®, the skin may be slightly swollen, flushed, red, tender, or have a tingling sensation, which typically subsides on its own in a few hours. However, there’s no required downtime. You can return to your normal activities immediately after your procedure without any restrictions. Although rare, some patients experience mild burning sensations, which can be controlled with oral pain medication.
In the weeks following the treatment, you may start to see some initial results, but the full results can take up to six months to appear as the skin continues to build collagen gradually. Over time, the skin on the neck, chin, and brow will appear smoother with a natural tautness.

Common FAQs

The cost of an Ultherpay treatment varies from person to person and depends on the treatment areas. Therefore, we recommend a consultation for a detailed estimate to determine your treatment's cost.
Ultherapy® is a good treatment for anyone bothered by loose skin who doesn't want plastic surgery. The treatment works well for those with skin that is not as firm as it once was, particularly in the areas under the neck, chin, or lines and wrinkles on the chest. Typically, patients in their 30s and older with mild to moderate skin laxity are candidates. Some people choose Ultherapy® as a preventative measure to maintain youthful skin.
Ultherapy® is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses ultrasound technology rather than laser wavelengths to stimulate new collagen. Some lasers rely on light energy, which cannot reach deeper skin layers. Laser treatments usually only treat superficial skin and are not FDA-cleared to lift skin.
Ultherapy® treats the deep layer of the skin typically addressed in cosmetic surgery, but the treatment won't duplicate the results of a surgical facelift. However, it is a great alternative, especially for those not ready for surgery. Patients who opt for Ultherapy® see a great improvement in skin tightness.
Ultherapy® is the only non-invasive procedure FDA-cleared to lift the skin on the neck and treat "turkey neck" without surgery or downtime
Since Ultherapy® produces collagen, the duration of the results depends on how you care for your skin and what you expose it to. While the results will begin to appear over two to three months, they can last up to a year or more. The new collagen created won't fade away, but like all collagen within the body, it can become damaged when exposed to certain environmental factors.
Most patients only need one Ultherpay treatment; however, some may benefit from more than one, depending on the degree of skin laxity and how they respond to the treatment. Annual follow-up Ultherapy® treatments may help maintain your results.
