HOW DOES ULTHERAPY WORK?
Ultherapy® uses safe and proven ultrasound energy that stimulates the deep layers of the skin but it doesn’t harm the actual surface of the skin. The ultrasound device is in the form of a smooth applicator that is placed on the targeted area. A low level of ultrasound energy is sent just under the skin. The skin responds to this energy in building new collagen.
Collagen is a natural protein that gives the skin its youthful appearance and keeps it toned and firm. As the years go by, collagen slowly disappears causing the skin to lose its elasticity and strength. However, Ultherapy® effectively stimulates the building of new collagen and rejuvenates the skin.
Ultherapy® treatments are unique because the practitioners use ultrasound technology to perform the procedure with absolute precision. They see the targeted layers of tissue while they are performing the procedure which enables them to focus the energy exactly where it is needed. This makes the results more effective.
After the treatment, the skin is significantly improved in quality and texture – it is lifted and tighter. Since natural processes in the body happen slowly and gradually the same is with the growth of new collagen. After about three months post-treatment, the full effects can be seen. The improvements in the skin are subtle but noticeable.
WHAT PROBLEM AREAS DOES ULTHERAPY® TARGET?
Ultherapy® treatment focuses on areas such as the neck, chin, cheeks, brow and décolletage(the upper chest).
Ultherapy® can address moderately saggy and loose skin on the face and neck. Ultherapy particularly targets the loose skin above the eyebrows and renews it from the inside. The brows are then lifted which gives an overall refreshed appearance.
Ultherapy® procedures can lift saggy skin under the chin and on the neck. These problematic areas are usually referred to as the double chin and turkey gobbler – a very hard and unpleasant problem when trying to eliminate it in an old-fashioned way.
The Ultherapy® skin lifting treatment stimulates the natural building of collagen and elastin in the skin and gradually smooths chest wrinkles and enhances the quality of the skin.
