Ultherapy is a non-invasive, FDA-approved cosmetic procedure that uses micro-focused ultrasound (MFU) technology to lift and tighten skin on the face, neck, and chest.
How it Works:
- MFU delivers ultrasound energy deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and elastin fibers.
- This process triggers a natural healing response, resulting in firmer, more toned skin over time.
Benefits:
- Non-surgical and downtime-free
- Long-lasting results (up to 1 year or more)
- Improves skin laxity, wrinkles, and jowls
- Lifts and tightens skin on the face, neck, and chest
Who is a Good Candidate:
- Individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity
- Those who want to improve the appearance of wrinkles, jowls, and droopy eyebrows
- People who are not interested in surgical procedures
Procedure:
- The treatment typically takes up to 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
- A topical numbing cream may be applied before the procedure.
- During the treatment, the practitioner will use an ultrasound device to deliver MFU pulses to the targeted areas.
- Most patients experience a mild tingling or prickling sensation during treatment.
Recovery and Results:
- There is no downtime after Ultherapy.
- Some redness or swelling may occur immediately after the procedure, but this typically resolves within a few hours.
- Results are gradual and may take several months to become fully visible.
- Multiple treatments may be recommended for optimal results.
Note a consultation is required to see if Ultherapy is right for you and to discuss any potential risks or complications
