ULTHERAPY

Ultherapy is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment for skin lifting and tightening. It uses ultrasound therapy to deliver ultrasound energy, its collagen-boosting treatment below the skin surface to stimulate the formation of new collagen. Significant results, including skin tightening and lifting, may be achieved from a single 60-minute session, with minimal to no downtime.

It is often referred to as a non-surgical facelift because of its ability to provide lifting effects without the need for surgery or incisions. It can be used to lift the skin on the neck, under the chin and on the eyebrow. Ultherapy can help you achieve a fresher, more youthful look from your brow to your chest.

How it works

Ultherapy delivers the right amount of ultrasound energy at the correct depth and correct temperature. This energy stimulates the regeneration of fresh new collagen which works to lift and tighten the area that is treated.

To assess whether Ultherapy is a suitable treatment for you, a consultation with our doctor will be necessary.

The Process

The treatment starts with a simple cleanse of the treated area followed by the application of ultrasound gel. During the Ultherapy treatment, a handheld device emits focused ultrasound energy that penetrates deep into the skin layers. This energy targets specific areas, including the deep layers of the skin, the subcutaneous tissue, and the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS). The SMAS is the same layer that is typically addressed during a surgical facelift.

The ultrasound energy from the device causes controlled micro-injuries in the targeted tissues. This stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that provides structure and firmness to the skin. Over time, the increased collagen production helps to lift and tighten the skin, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. The treatment time depends on the area being treated and can last anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes.

With Ultherapy there is minimal to no downtime and you should be able to return to your normal activities immediately. Your skin may have some redness but this is mild and temporary in nature and should disappear within a few hours.

Benefits of Ultherapy

One of the key advantages of Ultherapy is its ability to reach deeper layers of the skin without affecting the surface. This means that the outermost layer of the skin remains intact, minimizing the risk of complications and reducing downtime. It also allows for precise targeting of specific areas, such as the brow, chin, neck, and décolletage.

Ultherapy is commonly used to address various signs of ageing, including sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines. It can improve the appearance of jowls, tighten loose skin on the neck and jawline, and lift the brow area. Additionally, Ultherapy can be used as a preventive measure to delay the onset of visible ageing and maintain a youthful look.

The procedure typically takes around 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Patients may experience a warm sensation and slight discomfort during the procedure, but it is generally well-tolerated.

After an Ultherapy session, there is typically no downtime, and patients can resume their normal activities immediately. Some temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area may occur, but these effects usually subside within a few hours to a few days.

The Results

The results of Ultherapy develop gradually as the body’s natural collagen production increases. Some patients may notice initial improvements shortly after the treatment, while optimal results are typically seen within two to three months. The longevity of the results varies from person to person and depends on factors such as age, lifestyle, and the natural ageing process.

It is important to note that Ultherapy is a medical procedure and should be performed by a trained and qualified medical professional. A consultation with a healthcare provider will help determine if Ultherapy is suitable for you and develop a personalized treatment plan based on your individual needs and goals.

Overall, Ultherapy offers a non-invasive and effective option for individuals seeking to lift and tighten their skin without undergoing surgery. With its ability to stimulate collagen production and provide natural-looking results, Ultherapy has become a popular choice for those looking to rejuvenate their appearance and achieve a more youthful look.
