Ultherapy®

Ultherapy® is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the skin. This treatment stimulates collagen production deep within the skin, resulting in a gradual tightening and firming effect. Ultherapy is often used to address sagging skin on the face, neck, and décolletage.

What to Expect at Your Ultherapy Appointment

At your Ultherapy appointment, the process begins with a consultation to discuss your concerns, goals, and medical history. Following an assessment of your skin, a personalized treatment plan is created. The treatment area is prepared, potentially involving the application of a topical anesthetic for comfort. Ultrasound imaging is used to visualize skin layers, ensuring precise energy delivery. During the procedure, you may feel warmth or tingling as ultrasound energy is applied to stimulate collagen production. The duration varies but is typically completed within a few hours.

Ultherapy Maintenance Recommendations

To maintain the benefits of Ultherapy, schedule follow-up sessions as recommended by your provider. Adopting a healthy skincare routine with gentle cleansers and moisturizers supports overall skin health. Regular use of broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF protects the treated skin, and maintaining adequate hydration contributes to skin vitality. A balanced lifestyle with proper nutrition, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep further promotes skin health. Consider using dermatologist-recommended skincare products and treatments to complement Ultherapy results. Regular check-ins are essential to assess skin health and address concerns.

Ultherapy Maintenance Schedule
