Ultherapy® is only U.S. FDA-cleared1,2 non-invasive procedure that uses micro-focused ultrasound with real-time visualization (MFU-V) to see deep within the skin to plan the treatment to each patient’s specific needs and treat with precision3, thereby achieving desired skin lifts through “See My Skin, Lift My Way”.
Ultherapy® is a proven, FDA-cleared1,2 treatment with a well-established safety profile. It is currently marketed worldwide in more than 80 countries, with over 2 million treatments4 performed globally to date. In addition, ultrasound energy has been used in the field of medicine for more than 50 years.
A good Ultherapy® candidate has mild to moderate skin laxity where the skin begins to look less firm or tight. Examples include a lowered brow, loose skin on the neck, sagging under the chin, and lines or wrinkles on the chest. Ultherapy® results in a gradual, natural looking lift, leaving patients looking refreshed. However, Ultherapy® will not have as drastic results as a surgical facelift. Therefore, Ultherapy® is a great alternative, especially for those not ready for surgery or for patients looking to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery.
The procedure takes about 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area treated, and there is minimal to no downtime5 afterward.
As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, stimulating the collagen-building process. Comfort levels vary from person to person, but the sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is being delivered.
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.
The treatment can produce visible results for 12-18 months*, depending on the individual’s own collagen production. This process takes time, so results can become more apparent over two to three months post-treatment. Future touch-up treatments can help provide more control over the aging process.
