Can Ultherapy reduce my jowls?

Yes, Ultherapy can reduce jowls, taking about 2 months for the final result to evolve.  The result is much more subtle than a surgical outcome, so I always encourage prospective patients to think about the degree of improvement that they want to have.  Ultherapy does have the advantage of no downtime, but many patients expect that the ersults will be equivalent to a facelift.

Yes!  Ultherapy is a great option to help diminish your jowls and tighten the skin on your face and neck area. Ultherapy can target three different depths: the Dermis (deeper skin), Fat + Connective tissue (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System-SMAS) and Muscle. The Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) is located below the fat and is a strong tissue that envelops the face. It is made up of collagen, elastic fibers, muscle fibers and fat cells. The ultrasound energy produced during an Ulthera treatment, precisely and consistently heats the targeted tissue to 60-70 degrees centigrade, which is the optimal temperature for contraction and denaturation of collagen.The results from an Ultherapy treatment work in a two-step process. The first stage is the contraction and denaturing of collagen, which causes an immediate tissue tightening, and resultant lift. The second stage occurs over time while the body’s healing response builds new collagen (neocollagenesis).4 New collagen production is generated over 2-3 months and often continues for 6 months after the treatment. Full results are visible after 3 to 6 months.You may also want to consider fillers in the areas that you have lost volume in addition to Ultherapy for the treatment of the jowls.  I recommend an in person consultation with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

As others have said, Ultherapy® can be an effective
alternative to surgical procedures like a facelift. Nonsurgical, minimally
invasive procedures like Ultherapy® are becoming more and more common, as many
men and women find that these options are comparable alternatives to a surgical
procedure. That said, your results may not be as dramatic as those of a
facelift, but if you are a candidate, Ultherapy® can help to reduce the appearance of
sagging skin in the chin and neck area. You may want to consider scheduling a
consultation with a plastic surgeon who offers this treatment, as he or she could
help you to determine whether or not it’s the best choice for your specific
needs.
