What Is Ultherapy?What Is Ultherapy? Ultherapy, or Ulthera is the ONLY FDA approved, non-invasive treatment for skin lifting and firming, while also treating fine lines and wrinkles.By using ultrasound, Ulthera targets the same tissue as a surgical facelift (the SMAS layer) -all without surgery, anesthesia or downtime!Nothing targets better than Ultherapy!
-
How Does Ultherapy Work?Using ultrasound, Ulthera delivers a powerful blast of energy causing Thermal Coagulation Points (TCPs), which ultimately tighten and tone the skin and promote a boost of collagen.During your treatment, your Ulthera Specialist pinpoints the exact areas of collagen break down via transducers that help us see the areas of aging. Treatments are virtually painless and almost immediately your skin will feel, and look tighter, while results will continue to improve over the course of the next few months.Ulthera offers surgical precision treatment to target the exact area you need lifting, firming, and conditioning and provides NATURAL looking results.

Where Can Ultherapy Be Used?Ulthera may be used to treat loose or lax skin on the face, neck, chest, breasts, abdomen, knees, elbows, and essentially anywhere that needs tissue mild “shrinkage” or reduction/lift.
-
Who Is A Great Candidate For Ultherapy?Ulthera is recommended for areas where the skin starting to show some degree of laxity or “looseness”. Ulthera is also recommended for areas where collagen has broken down. Loose skin under the chin or neck, droopy eyelids and a loose jawline signal a potential great candidate for treatment. Under eye bags are also a great treatment area. While Ulthera is NOT a replacement for a surgical facelift or skin reduction, it can help those with the early signs of aging, as well, those who want a natural looking lift. Ulthera is also ideal for those looking to prolong the effects of a surgical facelift. If you are NOT ready for surgery (mentally, physically or financially) then Ulthera may be for you!
