Ulthera
Ulthera is a non-surgical, deep, focused ultrasound treatment that targets the foundational structures of our face and neck to lift and tighten these areas. Ulthera works by using ultrasound technology to heat the deepest layer of our skin to stimulate new collagen and elastin to help lift, tighten, and firm the areas treated. We know that Ulthera can even affect the same deep layers that are tightened in a surgical facelift, without surgery. Ulthera is the only technology that uses ultrasound to visualize the layers being treated while the treatment is being done, which allows us to ensure direct treatment to the problem areas.
Questions & Answers
Once you’ve had your consultation to ensure you are a great candidate for Ulthera, you can prepare for your treatment by avoiding active ingredient skincare and sun exposure for at least 72 hours before your treatment. You’ll likely be prescribed medication for a mild sedation/anxiety relief (Valium) to help make you more comfortable during the treatment. If you are comfortable taking the prescribed medication, you will need someone to drive you home after your procedure. Your treatment areas will be marked with a skin pencil, cooling ultrasound gel will be applied, and each area will be treated with Ulthera. You’ll feel the areas getting warmer as the treatment progresses. Depending on how many areas you are treating, the Ulthera procedure will take anywhere from 30-90 minutes.
There is minimal downtime following your Ulthera procedure. You may experience some redness, swelling, and possible welting immediately following your procedure, but this typically resolves over the next 48 hours. The results from Ulthera are gradual, with your full results around 6 months after treatment. You can expect the results from Ulthera to last up to two years, but this does vary.
