Skin laxity is one of the most common and frustrating signs of aging. It occurs when the skin loses its youthful collagen levels, a structural protein that gives it strength and support. Ultherapy® restores collagen in your skin, providing a firmer, more lifted appearance.
What is Ultherapy®?
Loose skin, lines, and wrinkles are among the most common concerns people want to treat. Ultherapy® addresses these issues by using ultrasound energy to tighten the skin. This non-invasive treatment can be used on the face, neck, and chest with long-lasting results.
How Does Ultherapy® Work For Skin Tightening?
Ultherapy® treatments usually take 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. This FDA-cleared system uses highly focused ultrasound waves that travel through the skin without harming it. This ultrasound energy triggers cells in the dermis to increase their collagen production. This increase in collagen production restores a more naturally lifted, youthful appearance.
Is There Any Downtime After Ultherapy®?
Many people notice that the treated area looks flushed and feels sensitive for a few hours after treatment. Ultherapy® requires no downtime, and you can return to your usual activities. Some people may experience a few days of tingling, swelling, or soreness. These effects are typically mild and do not affect your daily routine.
What Results Will I See With Ultherapy®?
Ultherapy® results appear gradually as your cells produce more collagen. Results may become visible after a few weeks, but full results take several months to develop. Ultherapy® results can last two years or more with good skincare. We recommend consistent sunscreen use, medical-grade skincare products, and occasional maintenance treatments for long-lasting results.
Am I a Good Candidate for Ultherapy®?
Most healthy adults make good candidates for Ultherapy®. This treatment works safely on all skin types and tones and does not require invasive procedures. Ideal candidates want to achieve skin tightening results without surgery. While Ultherapy® does not produce the same results as a facelift, it often gives people the desired results without the recovery time or expense.
