Introduction:Ultherapy (Ulthera) is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment designed to lift and tighten skin on the neck, under the chin, on the eyebrow, and now, the décolletage. It uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, tightening the skin from the inside out. This treatment targets deeper layers of the skin without damaging the surface, offering a fresher, more youthful look.
Benefits:
Lifts and tightens skin without surgery
Targets the brow, chin, neck, and décolletage areas
FDA-cleared for wrinkle reduction
Stimulates collagen production for long-lasting results
Non-invasive with no need for cuts or stitches
Minimal downtime
Procedure Details:During the procedure, ultrasound energy is delivered deep into the skin layers. The practitioner uses a handheld device to focus energy on the target areas, causing thermal disruption which stimulates collagen production. The treatment typically lasts around 60 to 90 minutes depending on the area being treated.
Recovery & Results:There’s no significant downtime. Some patients may experience slight redness or swelling that typically fades within a few hours. Results are gradual, with noticeable lifting and tightening appearing over 2-3 months as collagen production increases. Results can last for up to a year or more.
Who is a Good Candidate?Ideal candidates are individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who are looking for a non-surgical solution to improve skin appearance. Ultherapy is suitable for patients in their 30s to 60s but can be effective for both younger and older skin.
