Ulthera
Ultherapy, also known as Ulthera, is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment used to tighten the skin of the face and neck. This FDA-approved ultrasound therapy works to gradually lift the skin on your neck, chin, and brow, minimizing any fine lines and wrinkles.
Using micro-focused ultrasound, Ultherapy treats the superficial layers of the skin at a much lower level of ultrasound energy than the high-energy ultrasound that’s more often used to nonsurgically remove tumors.
These two types of focused ultrasound are in many ways similar to a pregnancy ultrasound or other types of ultrasound used in medical imaging. The main difference is that Ultherapy emits various frequencies of ultrasound energy through the skin in order to lift and tighten it.
How Ulthera Works?
Ultherapy uses a smooth applicator with ultrasound technology to target your body’s natural collagen and stimulate production of new collagen fibers.
Collagen is a natural protein that keeps your skin firm and toned, contributing to a more youthful appearance. As you age, your body stops producing collagen and the collagen in your body loses its strength. This is what causes gravity to run its course. Because the collagen is no longer strong enough to withstand the effects of gravity, your skin starts to sag or pull downward.
To counteract or slow the aging process, the Ultherapy device targets the collagen and elastin beneath the surface of your skin. It delivers focused ultrasound energy up to 5 millimeters deep to briefly heat the tissues. The heat then starts to gradually repair the skin by strengthening the existing collagen and stimulating the body to make new collagen.
EFFECTS:
Supple and lifted skin – the procedure makes the skin more supple, improves facial contours as well as shapes the cheeks, neck, jawline and chin
A visibly younger look – the regeneration of collagen fibres eliminates skin folds and flabbiness, including drooping eyelids and corners of the lips
Precise face modelling – ultrasound monitoring of skin layers makes it possible to emit ultrasounds exactly to the desired depth
It takes only one procedure – a satisfying effect visible after 1 treatment procedure, by safely stimulating the skin for long-lasting production of new and improved collagen
