Ultherapy - Non-Invasive Lift & Tightening

What is Ultherapy? ​

The treatment is a non-invasive procedure to lift skin on the neck, under the chin and on the eyebrow, and improve lines and wrinkles on the decollete. It can help you achieve a fresher, more youthful look from your brow to you.

Building Collagen

The procedure stimulates collagen production by delivering focused ultrasound energy to the skin’s foundational layer typically addressed in cosmetic surgery—without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin. 
Unlike other HIFU devices, Ulthera's unique use of live ultrasound imaging allows practitioners to see the layers of tissue targeted during the treatment to ensure the energy is deposited to where it will be most beneficial. 

No Downtime

Some patients see an initial effect right after their treatment, but the real results appear over 2−3 months as new collagen works to lift and tighten skin on the neck, chin and brow as well as smooth skin on the chest. While the treatment won’t duplicate the results of a facelift, it’s a clinically proven non-invasive alternative for those not ready for surgery—and can even be an option for patients who wish to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery. 

Non-invasive

Unlike lasers, radio frequency, surgery and other technologies, the non-surgical treatment bypasses the surface of the skin to deliver the right amount of ultrasound energy at the right depths and the right temperature. This energy triggers a natural response under the skin, jump starting the regenerative process that produces fresh, new collagen. 

Single treatment

Just one non-invasive treatment helps counteract the effects of time, gravity and sun exposure without downtime.  However, due to differences in the degree of skin laxity, the biological response to ultrasound energy and the individual's collagen-building process, the frequency of maintenance  treatments will vary between patients.  Because skin continues to age, future Ultherapy® treatments can help patients keep pace with the body's natural aging process. It really is up to each patient and the clinician, although intervals of 12 to 18 months have been suggested.

Before Your Treatment

The first thing you will want to do is schedule a one-on-one consultation with us. During this session, your practitioner will address your concerns, assess your skin and determine if you are a candidate for the treatment.
Once you book your procedure, you won’t need to follow any special preparations or skincare regimens in advance of the treatment. To enhance your comfort, your practitioner may recommend that you take an over-the-counter or prescribed medication before the treatment. 

During Your Treatment

After cleansing the skin and identifying the specific areas to be treated, your Ultherapy practitioner will apply the ultrasound gel and place the smooth treatment applicator against your skin. Next, your provider will use the device’s ultrasound imaging to first see deep within the skin to determine optimal placement of the treatment energy, and then deliver the focused ultrasound energy beneath the skin’s surface.
​
During the treatment delivery, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated.

​Comfort levels can vary from person to person, but the sensation only lasts while the energy is being delivered. 
The length of your treatment will depend on the area being treated and your individual treatment plan. A face and neck procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes, while a chest treatment takes approximately 30 minutes.

After Your Treatment

With Ultherapy, there is no downtime! You can expect to return to your normal activities immediately after your procedure without any post-treatment restrictions or requirements.
​
Your skin might appear flushed at first, but the redness should disappear within a few hours. Some patients experience slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to the touch, but these are usually mild and temporary in nature.

​Other, less common post-procedural effects may include temporary bruising or numbness on small areas of skin. As with any medical procedure, there is the possibility for other rare effects, which your practitioner will review with you.

How much does an Ultherapy® procedure cost?

The treatment cost depends upon the face/neck area being treated and factors such as major areas of concerns and individual physician practices. Since the treatment is so personalised, to get the most accurate price quote, it is best to have a face-to-face consultation with us.
