ULTHERA UTAH

Sagging Skin Has Met Its Match!

Ultherapy is a new type of non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound and the body's own natural healing process to lift, tone, and tighten loose skin on the brow, neck, and under the chin.
The only FDA-cleared procedure to lift skin on these hard-to-treat areas, Ultherapy uses 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.

What is Ultherapy treatment?

Think of it as a facelift minus the scalpel. Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that battles aging collagen by using concentrated heat from a smooth ultrasound applicator to stimulate new collagen growth. While lasers are typically used to address skin's texture, pigment changes, broken capillaries and acne scars, this ultrasound treatment goes to a deeper layer to address collagen-related issues and firmness.

What does Ultherapy do?

This surgery-free treatment is a lowered eyebrow line or sagging neckline's worst nightmare. It tackles moderate skin laxity with concentrated ultrasound energy deposited below the skin (penetrating deeper than its laser-based treatment counterparts) and goes just deep enough to stimulate the layer that produces new collagen.  It addresses the same layer of skin otherwise treated in cosmetic surgery, that lifts and supports the skin, controlling the tension and the skin's smooth, youthful appearance. While it could be credited for some mild improvements to the skin tone or sun damage, that's not the goal. Rather, it's best used for tightening and improving the skin's volume.

Does Ultherapy hurt?

Well, yes, it hurts. This isn't one of those relaxing spa-like treatments where you lay back and observe the light tingling sensation while you remind yourself "I think this is working!" You will feel discomfort with each "zap" as the heat waves were sent below the skin. However, the discomfort should be temporary and subside immediately. Comfort thresholds vary from patient to patient, so communicate your Ulthera technician so we may best serve you.

How does Ultherapy work?

The Ultherapy ultrasound treatment works by delivering low levels of heat below the skin's surface to stimulate new collagen growth. A full face and neck treatment lasts about an hour and a half, whereas a partial face or brow lift can be done in just 30 minutes.  Patients might notice results right away with some lifting above the brow and tightness around the jaw line. However, this is one treatment that continues to improve over time. Practitioners advise that lifting and toning will continue up to 90 days after the treatment as collagen continues to regenerate.
