Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound visualisation to deliver safe and effective focused energy beneath the skin to tighten and lift facial and neck. This focused ultrasound energy specifically targets the deep layers of tissue which traditionally is targeted with surgical facelifts. In addition to it, it can also reduce wrinkles as well as lines on the décolletage. Ultherapy is a non-surgical ultrasound treatment that lifts, sculpts and tightens the skin from inside out.

The most important thing about this treatment is that it is the only non-invasive method which has been approved by FDA and CE mark for such aesthetic procedures. Here ultrasound energy is used for stimulating collagen growth underneath the patient’s skin which in turn leads to tightening of skin.

How does the Ultherapy treatment work? Without incisions or damage to the patient’s skin, Ultherapy is a non-invasive, no downtime safe medical treatment which delivers high focused energy under ultrasound visualisation to specific safe targeted depths beneath the skin. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in an increased amount of collagen and elastin in the skin. As the skin gradually firms and tightens, the patient ends up with a firmer appearance which looks natural. The skin is lifted and tightened by the gentle energy that the tissue absorbs without cutting or disrupting the skin. Furthermore, as new collagen is produced and weaken collagen is strengthen, the skin retains its youthfulness.

Most patients require only a single treatment but a person might require additional treatment sessions depending upon his or her age,skin laxity, collagen build up process and biological response to the treatment as well as the ultrasound energy.

Patients will notice some amount of tightening of skin right after the procedure but more prominent effects will take more time to appear. The effects are gradual and take up to 3 months as the new collagen is being regenerated.

When will I see results and how long does the Ultherapy treatment last? Collagen production takes time hence the patient will achieve visible results in around two to three months after collagen stimulation fully comes into effect. Once the treatment starts taking effect you will attain a toned as well as lifted appearance. Ultherapy is a once-off treatment and the results of Ultherapy procedure last between 12 to 18 months. There is no downtime following Ultherapy procedure. Ultherapy is sometimes called “a lunchtime lift”. The patient can come back to everyday activities immediately after the treatment.

Am I the right Ultherapy patient? Aging and sun exposure causes the skin to lose both its firmness and elasticity, which leads to laxity and sagging. For a long time, the only way to address loose skin was through surgery, which entailed pain and discomfort, significant downtime, and even scarring. Ultherapy treatment is suitable for patients who have mild to moderate skin laxity where the skin begins to look less firm or tight. There are different areas where Ultherapy can treat on the face, neck and decolletage: Around Eye | Brow Lift | Upper Face | Lower Face | Upper and lower Lip Upper and lower neck | Chest / Decolletage
