What is Ulthera™?

Ulthera™ is an FDA approved non surgical procedure using ultrasound energy to lift, tighten and firm lax skin without surgery or down time. The ultrasound energy is the same sound waves used in medical imaging during pregnancy or breast exams. When these sound waves are properly calibrated, they can send a steady stream of energy into the different layers of the skin to stimulate new collagen fiber growth. Ultherapy works deep below the surface without harming the outer layer of the skin.

How does Ulthera™ Work?

Ulthera™ procedure delivers a beam of ultrasound energy deep into the dermis and the fibro muscular layer of the skin. Ulthera™ visualizes the skin layers thus allowing an accurate and precise delivery of a focused heat about 60 degrees Celsius for 20 mill-seconds. This controlled delivery of heat leads to micro injuries. The skin responds with contraction, tightening and the stimulation of collagen growth. Patients will see an immediate visible contraction in the skin, but the final results of skin firmness and lasting skin lift are noticeable in three to four months.

Why Ulthera™?

Ulthera™ is approved for eye brow lift decreasing the droopiness of eyelids. Ulthera™ minimizes wrinkles, tightens and lifts sagging cheeks and restores the skin’s youthful glow and texture. Ulthera™ can improve hard to reach areas that previously were solely targeted by surgical facelift procedures. Ulthera™ is a good choice for patients who are looking for a treatment that involves no down time, no incisions, and only mild sedation The resulting changes are very natural looking.

Ultherapy results last about one to two years or even longer, though this depends on the condition of your skin because your skin will continue to age. Subsequent treatments may be needed to maintain the results. Ultherapy is the only FDA approved technology that penetrates the deep layers of the skin to achieve a non surgical facelift with no down time to the patient and safe for all skin types.
