Treatment made just for you.

Ultherapy® is the only non-invastive treatment cleared by the FDA for lifting the skin on the neck, chin, and brow, and improving lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. Ultherapy uses microfocused ultrasound to lift and tighten loose skin over time, without any downtime.

Ultherapy® is currently the only technology that precisely and consistently heats tissue to approximately 65°C, the optimal temperature for collagen contraction and denaturation at specific depths.

The initial post-treatment lift occurs as a result of the contraction and denaturation of collagen within the Thermal Coagulation Points (TCPs).

The second stage of lifting occurs over time when the body’s wound-healing response repairs the “injury” caused by the heat and builds new collagen (neocollagenesis), which inherently has improved viscoelastic properties.

Ultherapy® is a non-invasive aesthetic procedure that uses focused ultrasound to stimulate the formation of new collagen deep below the skin’s surface. The production of new collagen takes time, so results can become more apparent over 2 to 3 months, even up to 6 months.

The procedure takes about 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area treated, and there is no downtime afterward. It also is the only procedure to use ultrasound imaging, which allows practitioners to actually see the layers of tissue targeted during the treatment and ensure the energy is deposited precisely where it will be most beneficial.

While comfort threshold vary from patient to patient, most patients report that the procedure is quite tolerable. If and when any discomfort does occur, it happens while the ultrasound energy is being delivered. We take measures to make the experience as pleasant as possible, and patients tell us they leave comfortable and excited about the benefits to come.

Since the procedure stimulates a person’s own collagen production, how long the results last depends on the individual. The treatment produces new collagen on the inside, but the individual’s natural aging process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the outside. Future touch-up treatments can help provide more control over the aging process, which varies by individual.

Ultherapy is a proven treatment with a well-established safety profile. It is currently marketed worldwide in more than 75 countries, with over 1.5 million treatments performed globally to date. In addition, ultrasound energy has a proven track record, with use in the field of medicine for more than 50 years.

There may be slight redness that typically resolves within a few hours following the treatment. Some patients may have slight swelling, tingling, or tenderness to the touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature. A full list of potential side effects are listed on the Ultherapy website.

Pricing for an Ultherapy treatment can vary depending upon the areas being treated. Treatment will be customized to meet each patient’s needs, and exact pricing can be discussed during consultation meetings.

The majority of patients only need 1 treatment. However, some many benefit from more than 1 treatment depending on how much skin lacity they have and their body’s own biological response to the ultrasound and the collagen building process. Follow-up Ultherapy treatments each year may help maintain results.

Collagen is a natural protein that gives skin its youthfulness by keeping it form and toned. As we age, collagen breaks down, and the result is a loss of skin strength and elasticity. Ultherapy uses microfocused ultrasound to generate a thermal effect under the skin. The thermal effect essentially jump-starts a process that produces fresh, new collagen.

A good candidate for Ultherapy is someone with skin that has some degree of laxity, to the point of looking, and often feeling, less firm. Loose skin under the neck and under the chin, or lines and wrinkles on the upper chest, are signals a patient might be a candidate. Typically, those in their 30s and older who have mild to moderate skin laxity are candidates.

While Ultherapy is not a replacement for a surgical facelift, there are many people who want some facial lifting but are not ready for surgery, whether mentally, physically, or financially. There also are younger adults who want to “stay ahead of the grame,” as well as patients wanting an aesthetic maintenance option.

The main difference between Thermage and Ultherapy is the type of energy used. Ultherapy utilizes ultrasound and Thermage utilizes radiofrequency.

This energy difference is important as ultrasound can reach deeper layers. As Ultherapy/ultrasound can travel deeper (up to a layer of muscle), it is considered to be better if your concern is the jowls and under chin areas (aka lower facc heaviness).

As Thermage does not travel deeper, it is considered to be better if your goal is to achieve lateral facial lifting and improve eye areas.

In addition to the face, Thermage also works on saIging skin on the abdomen, thighs, arms and buttocks.
