What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is the most effective non-invasive skin tightening procedure, that uses ultrasound technology for facelifting and tightening saggy skin. By using the focused energy the method stimulates the formation of collagen, a protein that provides skin its structure and flexibility. During the procedure the device delivers ultrasound energy to the skin, reaching the deeper layers of the skin. As a consequence, the skin gradually tightens and naturally lifts without the need for incisions or a protracted healing process. Ultherapy is a popular non-surgical option for people seeking a more youthful appearance because it's safe and effective for treating the face, neck, and chest. Our trained professionals perform this safe, effective treatment with no downtime. Experience the benefits of rejuvenated skin with Ultherapy at our medical spa. Book your appointment today.
How many Ultherapy treatments I will need?
The number of Ultherapy treatments you need depends on your individual goals and the severity of your concerns. During your consultation at Getskin Medical Spa & Wellness, our experts will create a personalized treatment plan to achieve your desired outcome. Typically, one session per year is recommended.
What to Expect During an Ultherapy Procedure:
Ultherapy is a comfortable, well-tolerated treatment. A topical anesthetic may be applied for additional comfort. During the procedure, the Ultherapy handpiece delivers ultrasound energy to targeted areas of your skin. You may experience a warming sensation, which indicates the collagen-stimulating process is underway. The treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
When can I see the results?
While some subtle improvements may be noticeable right after treatment, the full effects of Ultherapy take time as your body produces new collagen. You can expect to see optimal results within 2-3 months, with continued improvement possible up to 6 months.
What areas can be treated?
Ultherapy can be used to treat several areas of the body, including the face, neck, chin, brow, chest, and décolletage. The treatment is particularly effective for sagging skin and wrinkles on the neck, chin, and brow, as well as for improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and lax skin on the chest. The ultrasound energy delivered during the procedure stimulates the production of collagen, which results in a gradual lift and tightening of the skin. The non-invasive nature of Ultherapy makes it an ideal choice for individuals looking for a more youthful appearance without the need for surgery or extended recovery time.
The FDA-cleared device used in the Ultherapy procedure relies on the safe, time-tested energy of ultrasound to stimulate the deep structural support layers of the skin — including those typically addressed in a surgical facelift -- without disturbing the surface of the skin.
