A Non-Surgical Solution

Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to provide powerful, effective treatments. The ultrasound experience is gentle, similar to what you’re familiar with from other medical treatments and scans. Our expert Ultherapy technicians use traditional ultrasound imaging methods to see the exact issues that need to be treated, guaranteeing results where you want them most. 

When you receive an Ultherapy treatment, the specialized ultrasound device gently heats tissues in your target areas to stimulate your body’s healing process. At its deepest application, Ultherapy targets the very foundation of your skin. These layers are what would be treated in a traditional, surgical facelift. 

Ultherapy is a non-surgical option that results in powerful transformations. Ultrasound waves reach your internal tissues but don’t affect the surface of your skin. If you’re ready for impressive results without surgery, Ultherapy can be your non-surgical solution.

FDA-Approved Lifting Results

Ultherapy is the only FDA-approved method for non-invasive skin lifting on the brow, neck, and under the chin. This therapy is also approved to reduce lines and wrinkles on the chest. You may see vague claims about similar results from other non-invasive treatments, but only Ultherapy is proven to deliver on its promises.

You deserve to enjoy reliable and effective medical treatments, not to take a risk on unproven therapies. Ultherapy is the leading non-invasive lift procedure, proven to tighten and lift skin without any incisions or excisions. Trust our trained Ultherapy technicians on your journey towards renewed healing and repair.

No Downtime Required

Since this is a non-invasive treatment, there is no downtime needed. You lead a busy life and don’t have time to miss your family, work, and social obligations. Ultherapy is the perfect choice for today’s busy woman, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately after your treatment. 

Ultherapy targets the tissues beneath your skin, not the surface of your face. Our expert technicians aim ultrasound energy to reach 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, or 4.5 mm beneath the surface of your skin, depending on your treatment goals. The most common side effects are slight tenderness or redness after treatment, but these brief irritations vanish quickly. 

Many of our patients see results after just one session, making this non-invasive treatment even easier to work into your schedule.

Stimulate Your Body’s Natural Processes

Thisy is a completely natural treatment that leverages your body’s own healing process. Safe ultrasound energy reaches different layers of your skin, stimulating them with heat to coagulate proteins. The resulting healing response triggers your body to make higher levels of collagen and elastin, just like it did naturally in your youth.

Our Ultherapy providers can specifically target the depths of your skin that most need lifting, while safely avoiding the other layers. Results come from your body’s own, natural healing process. If you’re looking for a powerful treatment that doesn’t introduce anything new to your body, Ultherapy is a safe and proven choice.

What Causes Sagging and Wrinkles?

Collagen is a protein that helps give your skin and other tissues their strength and structure. After the age of 20, your body produces about one percent less collagen each year. As this process occurs, wrinkles become deeper and more permanent, and your skin becomes loose. Other factors, such as sun damage and lifestyle choices, can exacerbate these signs of aging.

What Is Ultherapy® and How Does It Work?

Ultherapy® is a non-invasive treatment that tightens tissues using ultrasound. Ultrasound has traditionally been used for medical imaging, but Ultherapy® utilizes ultrasound therapy to lift the skin. Focused ultrasound waves are delivered to the layers of the skin, where it will be most beneficial. The sound waves cause a thermal reaction, coagulating the tissues in the treatment area and stimulating the body’s natural healing response, and therefore, collagen production. All of this is accomplished without the need for incisions, surgery, or scarring.

The Ultherapy® Procedure and Recovery

There is no special preparation needed before your Ultherapy® session. Your skin will be cleansed, ultrasound gel will be applied, and the Ultherapy® handpiece will be placed against your skin. The ultrasound imaging function of the device will first be used to visualize the layers of your skin where treatment will be most effective. The focused ultrasound will then be delivered to the depth where it is needed.

You may feel a heating or tingling sensation while the machine is working, and it may be recommended that you take an over-the-counter medication beforehand for your comfort. Treatment of the face and neck typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes to complete, and application on the chest usually takes about 30 minutes.

What to Expect After Ultherapy®

There is no downtime associated with Ultherapy®. Once your appointment is over, you can return to your regular activities. Your skin may be slightly red or flushed, but this should resolve within a few hours. You may also experience some slight swelling or tingling. These side effects are usually mild and temporary.

Some patients see results immediately after their appointment, but most will notice that their skin continues to improve over the next few months. Most will only need one treatment session to achieve their cosmetic goals, although multiple sessions may be recommended depending on the extent of correction necessary.
