ULTHERAPY - New Non-Surgical Skin Rejuvenation Procedure! We are pleased to announce that our practice is among the first in our area to offer the Ultherapy® procedure, an entirely new and unique type of nonsurgical treatment that uses ultrasound to lift and tone loose skin without any downtime.
Unlike other nonsurgical procedures, Ultherapy is able to treat not only the skin itself, but the deep foundation below the skin that is addressed in cosmetic surgery. This initiates your body’s collagen rebuilding process without disturbing the surface of your skin.
After just one to two treatments with no downtime, your skin will gradually shift back into a more youthful position. While Ultherapy is not a replacement for surgery, it is an inviting alternative for those who are not ready for surgery but looking for meaningful results.
If you are interested in learning more, please contact us today to schedule an appointment!
Comfort thresholds vary from patient to patient, but there can be some discomfort while the energy is being delivered, which is temporary and a signal that the collagen-building process has been initiated. We take measures to make the experience as pleasant as possible [customize based on practice’s comfort management protocol (e.g. premedication, cooling fans)], and patients tell us they leave comfortable and happy given the benefits to come.
Patients treated with Ultherapy still have fresh young collagen after a year’s time following the procedure, but skin continues to age. Yearly touch-up treatments can help keep pace with the aging process.
There may be slight redness for a few hours following the treatment, and it’s not uncommon to have slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to touch for a few weeks, but these are typically mild and they are temporary in nature. There can be other post-procedural effects such as bruising and small areas of numbness but these are less common and, again, temporary.
Please call the office for an estimate.
Ultherapy is the only nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that uses ultrasound to specifically target the foundational layer of facial tissue that doctors address in surgery. The use of ultrasound also enables us to actually see the layers of skin we are treating, allowing the energy to be delivered precisely to where it will be most productive.
Ultrasound energy has a proven track record, with use in medical imaging for over 50 years. In addition, the procedure has been cleared by the FDA after demonstrating safety in clinical studies, and tens of thousands of treatments have been performed worldwide without any significant adverse events.
