Skin Tightening

Ultherapy is a facelift technique that utilizes ultrasound to lift and tone the loose skin on your face without the need for surgery. Ultrasound technology uses high-frequency sound waves to look inside the body. In Ultherapy, these sound waves allow plastic surgery professionals to see the deeper layers of facial skin to lift them, resulting in a more youthful appearance. Being able to see that deeply, the medical professional performing the Ultherapy can be certain that the energy is being delivered where it should have the biggest impact.

This FDA-approved technique is safe and entirely non-invasive. It is a way to correct the effects of aging and gravity on the skin of your face and neck, even down to your decolletage. It is, at this point, the only non-invasive FDA-approved procedure that has been definitively shown to lift skin. Part of the reason that Ultherapy works so well is due to the depth that the ultrasound allows practitioners to see. The deep tissues of your face can be seen via ultrasound, which gives the medical professional doing your Ultherapy a great advantage. They can see where the energy needs to be targeted while treatment is happening. This means that the energy used in the procedure can be put exactly where it is going to do the most good and get you the best results.

It is important to know that while Ultherapy is often called a non-invasive facelift, it cannot fully duplicate the results of a traditional, surgical facelift. But Ultherapy is an excellent alternative for those who want a non-invasive technique that will correct some of the effects of aging, without having to consider surgery.

Ultherapy will not produce immediate results, an important consideration for anyone interested in this treatment. Some patients have reported seeing minor initial effects almost immediately post-treatment, but full results generally take place more slowly. It takes approximately two to three months for you to see the full effect. Since Ultherapy has also been shown to stimulate the growth of new collagen, your natural aging process has some effect on how quickly your results will take to be ultimately noticeable.
