Ultherapy: The Noninvasive Facelift
Keeping aging at bay is something plenty of individuals desire especially when it comes to their facial appearance. One of the best options for reducing the appearance of the tell-tale signs of aging is the Facelift. But not everyone is willing or comfortable enough to go under the knife. However, thanks to the ever-more-sophisticated technological advancements in the world of aesthetics there are non-surgical alternatives to the facelift. One of the most effective non-surgical alternatives to the facelift is Ultherapy which uses ultrasound to tighten and lift the skin as well as other facial features resulting in a more youthful-looking you.

What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a non-invasive alternative to a facelift. It counteracts the signs of aging such as wrinkles on the face, chest, and neck, sagging skin, and drooping of the brow area. It is an FDA-cleared technology that uses ultrasound energy to boost the natural production of collagen and elastin resulting in a more youthful natural look.
How Ultherapy works
The safety of ultrasound waves is well established since they have been used in the medical field for over 50 years. Ultherapy works by targeting areas beneath the skin using a therapeutic ultrasound device. This device harnesses the power of ultrasound waves and delivers profound collagen and elastin boosting effects at three different depths and layers which include the skin, muscles, and superficial wrinkles. This leads to a lifting and tightening effect on both the skin and muscles..png)
Target treatment areas for Ultherapy include the face, neck, and decolletage as well as the eyebrows and under the chin. However, Ultherapy is a customized treatment and you should be able to discuss your tailor-made plan with your provider during the consultation.
Good Candidate for Ultherapy treatment
Ultherapy treatment is best suited for individuals with early skin laxity or skin sagging such as mild to moderate sagging on the brow, neck, under the chin, and jawline. It also treats lines and wrinkles that form on the chest area. It is also used as a prevention and early intervention for signs of aging.
The ideal candidate should be realistic about the outcome of the treatment as well.
How Ultherapy differs from other skin tightening treatments
The difference between Ultherapy and other skin tightening treatments such as radiofrequency is that Ultherapy delivers defined columns of higher temperatures to the target areas. This has stronger effects hence only a one-off treatment session is needed as compared with radiofrequency which needs a course of treatments.
Ultherapy procedure
During your Ultherapy treatment session, your provider will start by cleaning the treatment areas of any residue and then apply an ultrasound gel. The Ultherapy device will be placed against the skin and your provider will adjust the device to the appropriate settings. Ultrasound energy will then be delivered to the treatment areas.
During the treatment, you might experience quick intermittent feelings of tingling and heat. The applicator is removed at the end of the treatment.
The whole process can take between 30-90 minutes depending on the treatment area.
What to expect after Ultherapy treatment
There is no downtime associated with Ultherapy treatment thus you can resume your regular activities immediately after.
The initial results will start being visible within a few days following the treatment but this depends on your body’s ability in producing new collagen. The improvement will continue for the next three months and the effects last as long as your body will continue to produce new collagen.
