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 skin. Our patient satisfaction is much higher than with the previous best method - which was thermage. Long term studies are still needed.

Lift and tighten with Ultherapy

Ultherapy is an ultrasound treatment that infuses “seeds” of thermal coagulated heat into multiple layers of the skin causing micro-wounds. As your skin heals, new collagen and elastin is formed which then tightens the skin. Ultherapy is considered a natural skin tightening alternative because it works with your body’s natural healing process. Generally you can expect anywhere from a 20% to 30% improvement after one treatment. Many patients opt for bi-annual treatments to... more

Ulthera Expertise

Ulthera is a relatively new, innovative procedure that uses ultrasound technology to penetrate deeply into the skin, affecting a connective tissue layer called the SMAS. This tissue layer is what plastic surgeons redrape and tighten when performing a facelift. As we age, the SMAS loosens and the soft tissue and muscles it encases droop, causing the telltale signs of aging on the face and neck. By deeply heating this SMAS layer, Ulthera treatment encourages collagen growth... more

Ultherapy for Skin Tightening

We have had Ultherapy in our office since 2010 and have had excellent results for skin tightening. It is the first FDA approved device of its kind to ultilize ultrasound to tighten the skin. The procedure takes anywhere from about 1-3 hours, and there's little to no downtime. It is a great non-surgical alternative to a face lift. I've included some information from our website below, and there's even an informational video with a demonstration of the procedure for you... more

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 Experience

As we age, collagen within the skin breaks down and leaves our skin less supple and more prone to sagging and drooping. 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
