Aging and environmental factors can lead to sagging skin and loss of firmness, but not everyone wants to undergo surgery to restore a more youthful appearance. Ultherapy® is a non-surgical treatment that lifts and tightens the skin using advanced ultrasound technology.
What is Ultherapy® for Skin Tightening?
Ultherapy® is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. Unlike other skin tightening treatments, Ultherapy® targets the foundational layers of the skin, including those addressed in a facelift, without requiring incisions or downtime. This treatment is commonly used on the face, neck, and décolletage to improve skin laxity and enhance definition.
What are the Benefits of Non-Surgical Ultherapy®?
Ultherapy® offers several advantages for those seeking skin tightening without surgery:
Natural-Looking Results – By stimulating collagen production, Ultherapy® gradually lifts and tightens the skin, creating a refreshed but natural appearance. With no abrupt changes, all people will notice is how defined and youthful your features look.
Non-Invasive and No Downtime – Since it does not require incisions, Ultherapy® allows patients to resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. Your skin may look red and feel warm for a short time after your session.
Safe and FDA-Cleared – Ultherapy® has been extensively studied and is FDA-cleared for lifting and tightening skin on the face, neck, and chest. Ultrasound energy can be used safely on all skin types and tones without the risk of pigmentation changes or other factors.
Customizable Treatment – Providers can adjust the ultrasound energy depth to target specific areas based on individual needs, allowing us to accommodate different areas of the face and the different tissue thicknesses of male and female skin. Gradual and
Long-Lasting Improvements – Results develop over time as collagen production increases, leading to ongoing improvements in skin firmness and elasticity. You may only need one session to see the results you want.
How Long Do Ultherapy® Results Last?
The longevity of Ultherapy® results varies from person to person, but most patients enjoy noticeable improvements for up to a year or more. Since Ultherapy® works by stimulating collagen production, results appear gradually over two to three months and continue improving for up to six months. Maintaining a good skincare routine and following a provider’s recommendations can help extend the benefits, and maintenance sessions can keep your lifted, tighter look as long as you want.
Is Ultherapy® the Right Skin Tightening Treatment for Me?
Ultherapy® is ideal for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity who want a non-surgical option for lifting and tightening. If you have loose skin around your jawline, neck, or brows and prefer a treatment with no downtime, Ultherapy® may be a suitable choice. However, those with more significant sagging may benefit from a combination of treatments or a surgical procedure.
