Ready for a lift?

Sagging skin bringing you down after the holidays? 

Love to start 2016 off with a fresher, more youthful look from your brow to your chin? 

Ready for a lift but not prepared for a surgical face lift?

RSVP to our special event Thursday, February 4th 5-7pm by registering here and see the benefits of Ultherapy for yourself! 

Ultherapy is the only non-invasive procedure FDA-cleared to lift skin on the neck, under the chin and on the eyebrow.  Now also FDA-cleared to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the décolletage, Ultherapy can be used from your forehead to your chest to get you the tighter, more youthful appearance you are looking for.

What is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is a non-surgical face and neck treatment that uses ultrasound to actually lift and tone loose or sagging skin without any downtime.  Ultherapy addresses mild to moderate loose or sagging skin on the face and neck.  Specifically, by reconditioning and renewing the skin from within, Ultherapy will lift the brow, which in turn reduces excess skin on the lids, opens the eyes and gives a more refreshed look overall.  Ultherapy is also used to lift and tighten sagging skin on the neck and under the chin, addressing the “turkey gobbler” and “double chin,” which many patients are trying to eliminate.

What is unique about this procedure?

Ultherapy is the only non-invasive treatment that can specifically target the deep foundation below the skin that is addressed in cosmetic surgery without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin.  It is also the only procedure to use ultrasound imaging, which allows us to actually see the layers of tissue we target during treatment and ensure the energy is deposited precisely to where it will be most effective.

What kind of technology does Ultherapy use?

Ultherapy uses tried-and-true ultrasound energy below the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s creation of new collagen.  As a result, skin will actually begin to lift and tone over time.

What does collagen do?  How does Ultherapy stimulate the creation of collagen?

Collagen is a natural protein that gives skin it’s youthfulness by keeping it firmed, toned and elastic.  As we age, collagen loses its elasticity and its ability to stand up to the effects of gravity that pull the skin downward.  Ultherapy jump starts a natural repair process that produces fresh, new collagen.

Is Ultherapy surgery?

No. Unlike a face lift, Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that addresses the skin and support layers below it, but doesn’t entail cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin.

How is Ultherapy different from lasers?

Lasers typically address issues in the superficial layers of the skin (e.g. fine lines, wrinkles, pigment changes).  Ultherapy addresses the deep skin layer and the foundational layer addressed in cosmetic surgery that lift and lend support to the skin.  Therefore, the two technologies are quite complementary!

Are you a good candidate for Ultherapy?

A good candidate for Ultherapy is someone with skin that has “relaxed” to the point of looking, and feeling, less firm.  Sagging skin on the eyelids, on the neck or under the chin, for instance, are often the first signs of “maturing” skin.  Typically, those in their thirties and older who have mild to moderate skin laxity are good candidates.  Ultherapy has also proven to help prolong the effects of cosmetic surgery.

How long does the ultrasound treatment take?

A full face and neck treatment takes 60-90 minutes and a partial face or brow lift treatment can take around 30 minutes – neither with any downtime.

How long until I see results?  How long do results last?

Patients may enjoy some initial effect but the ultimate lifting and toning will take place over 2-3 months, as tired collagen is replaced with new, more elastic collagen.  As this collagen-building process continues, further improvements can appear up to 6 months following a procedure.  Patients treated with Ultherapy still have fresh young collagen after a year’s time following the procedure.

Is there any downtime?

Ultherapy is an entirely non-invasive procedure and as such, there is no downtime.  You are able to return to your normal activities right away and there are no special measure that you need to take.
