Skin Tightening

Ultherapy is FDA approved to tighten skin and it’s safe to treat around the eyes, cheeks, mouth, jawline, and neck. Anyone who’s noticing less elasticity or sagging of their face should consider Ultherapy, it is safe, and effective.

The procedure time varies depending on the treatment area. During the treatment, our provider will use the Ultherapy ultrasound device to emit energy directly into the deep layers of the skin that need increased collagen. While some patients have reported mild discomfort it is not thought to be painful. Post-treatment some experience mild tenderness and some redness, however, it generally dissipates within an hour. Treatment session needed depend on the severity of laxity in the skin.

The incredible aspect of Ultherapy is that it builds over time. The initial treatment will have some effects, but the real results won’t be seen until 2-3 months post-treatment. The benefits of the procedure such as increased collagen continue to grow within the body for up to 6 months after the procedure.

As we continue to age, you’ll need to come back in for Ultherapy every year or so to maintain the tight beautiful youthful skin you get from the treatment. So many clients love Ultherapy because it gradually improves and creates tighter, more youthful-looking skin with less sagging. It’s perfect for men and women who don’t want an obvious or dramatic change all at once or are hesitant about getting surgery such as a facelift but who want to see tighter skin on their faces, necks, and chests.

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.
