Ultherapy is an FDA approved non-surgical ultrasound treatment that is proven to gently lift the skin. Ultherapy is designed for moderate skin laxity and has begun to look and feel less firm. This unique cosmetic procedure uses ultrasound waves to bypass the surface of the skin to reach layers of tissue deep within the skin to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. Thus Ultherapy uses the body’s own regenerative response to this treatment to gently and gradually lift skin on the eyebrow, under the chin and on the neck, and smooth lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. The result from Ultherapy is firmer, tighter skin and a more lifted appearance. Treatments are administered in the comfort of our office and usually take about 60-90 minutes for the face and neck area, while a chest treatment takes approximately 30 minutes. There is no down time with Ultherapy, patients can return to normal activities immediately. The regeneration of the treatment area begins immediately, however it may take approximately 2-3 months for the full results to be visible.
