Experience with Ulthera

In the United States we have multiple devices which can tighten the skin . In our practice's experience to date the micro focused ultrasound can tighten the smas muscles. Our patient satisfaction is much higher than with the previous best method - which was thermage. Long term studies are still needed.

Ultherapy has a high patient satisfaction rating on RealSelf.com

There are many patients that have now been treated by Ultherapy and one can see the positive reviews that patients have rated it on RealSelf. Much higher than Thermage. A very high percent of my patients have been happy with their results. An important aspect of this procedure is having realistic expectations about the results. It is not ever going to produce the amount of lifting that a surgical facelift will accomplish. However, with little to no downtime, a one hour procedure can... more

Ultherapy® uses low-level ultrasound technology to first map out the treatment area and then rejuvenate the damaged tissues. By warming the deeper layers of the skin through ultrasound, Ultherapy® firms sagging facial skin, strengthens the underlying tissue, and stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen. Depending on your comfort level, your... more

Ulthera

As others have noted, the other devices which offered facial tightening without surgery were Titan and Thermage. Ulthera utilizes focused ultrasound waves to tighten the soft tissues of the face, jawline, neck, and brows and appears to be more consistent in results than either of its predecessors.

Ultherapy uses highly focused ultrasound for collagen tightening

I'm not sure if Ulthera is available in Australia but it has been approved in the U.S. since September 2009 and has been in Asia for a few years. We have been very happy with the results here in Seattle. The treatment is noninvasive and takes 30-60 minutes depending on the areas treated, with the full results developing over about 3 months.

Because of this, the improvement is not immediate. It will take 3 months to achieve full benefit. How does Ultherapy work?... more
