Building on the many benefits of ultra-targeted ultrasound technology, Ulthera® is a safe, non-surgical procedure for skin tightening and lifting. The treatment is a safe alternative to surgical eyebrow, face and neck lift procedures.
During treatment, the handpiece delivers micro-focused ultrasound energy to a depth of 1.5 mm, 3 mm or 4.5 mm below the skin surface, which is the same skin depth targeted during a surgical facelift. Ultherapy bypasses the upper layers of the skin to create thousands of tiny anchor points in the face’s deeper support structure, below the epidermis, in the dermis and hypodermis. This triggers skin cell regeneration, gradually restores skin memory, and tightens underlying connective tissues. The resulting smoothing effect is immediate. No recovery time is needed. Side effects are minimal and include localized redness, slight swelling and skin that is sensitive to the touch. These are temporary in nature.
Ulthera® is a proven and effective non-surgical facelift treatment used around the world, including among plastic surgeons who sometimes recommend it over surgical intervention. Ulthera® has won several NewBeauty magazine recognition awards for best non-invasive skin-tightening and skin-lifting treatment.
Ultherapy is carried out mostly over the entire face, on eyebrows, neck and chest areas. These areas are most often affected by loss of tone and respond well to ultrasound therapy. Depending on your needs, it is also possible to treat the entire face or just a targeted area of the face; the jawline can be targeted to redefine facial contours, while the eye area can be targeted to lift eyebrows, smooth fine lines and “open-up” the eyes.
Ulthera® is normally used in combination with dermal fillers to create a more visible rejuvenating effect. Ultherapy is used to treat sagging skin, while hyaluronic acid injections are used to treat facial hollows.
See Before & After
Identifying one’s level of skin laxity is an essential step in treatments like Ulthera®. Its purpose is to determine skin needs and prioritize corrective over preventive measures, as well as to establish your expectations. The current state and age of the skin will affect how it reacts to ultrasound. An individual evaluation will help determine a final diagnosis. We are completely transparent in our approach and only recommend candidates who can truly benefit from this procedure.
After cleansing the skin, the technician uses a specially adapted pencil and ruler to trace a temporary grid over the treatment area. This grid is used as a guide throughout the procedure.
As with all ultrasound devices, a thin layer of ultrasound gel must be applied onto the skin and maintained throughout the procedure to ensure adequate contact. This allows ultrasound waves to penetrate the skin for accurate viewing.
Patented Ulthera® DeepSEE technology facilitates the viewing of skin tissue to a depth of 8 mm. A handpiece featuring an ultrasound imaging module is positioned on the skin so the technician can accurately view the subcutaneous layers of the skin for a treatment that is both safe and effective. This echographic examination assesses the depth at which the ultrasound can be performed and highlights problem areas to help the technician avoid the forehead’s frontal bone, manoeuver easily around facial nerves, and treat cheeks close to the bone at a depth of 4.5 mm.
The procedure typically lasts between 30 and 90 minutes—the time needed to produce the energy bursts that stimulate production of new collagen. Guided by the traced-on grid and ultrasound imaging, the technician adapts the treatment to your physiognomy, sometimes focusing on crow’s feet, neck lines, or “jowls”. The intense heat and snapping sensation can make the procedure uncomfortable for some. Patients are advised to take Tylenol or Advil before the procedure.
Ulthera® is recognized as the best non-invasive treatment to date for its non-surgical skin-tightening and skin-lifting effect. Backed by 88 patents and 46 clinical studies, ultherapy has gained an enviable worldwide reputation, including among medical professionals specializing in plastic surgery. It is the most popular corrective procedure offered at Dermapure, with visible results appearing within 3 to 4 months following treatment.
