Ultherapy® is the ONLY FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that lifts and tightens the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the chest
LIFT, TONE, AND TIGHTEN LOOSE SKIN
Ultherapy 2.0 – a Ultherapy treatment with double the results! Ultherapy enables practitioners to direct sound waves not only into the skin but deep under the skin to the same tissue addressed in surgery. Never before has this tissue been accessible without surgery. With the use of Ultrasound therapy in Ulthera, the practitioner can see deep into the layers of the skin, enabling them to target depleted collagen while avoiding nerves, bone, etc. Previous similar non-surgical treatments such as Thermage are done blindly and therefore, must remain at a surface level.
Ulthera gently heats the tissue to lift and tighten loose skin without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin. In addition to the visible effects of lifting and tightening, Ultherapy also creates new collagen, which helps the skin maintain its youthfulness. The Ulthera Treatment lifts, tightens, and tones loose skin around the brow, cheeks and neck to counteract the effects of time and gravity.
FAQ
How does the Ultherapy procedure work?
As with other ultrasound procedures, a smooth applicator placed upon your skin projects an image onto a screen that allows your practitioner to plan where the energy will be sent. This same applicator is then used to deliver low levels of focused heat at just the right depth below the skin to achieve a positive effect, all the while leaving the surface of your skin undisturbed. Your skin’s response to the energy is to stimulate the growth of new collagen. A gradual tightening and firming occurs, resulting in a natural lift of the skin over time.
How is this procedure different than non-surgical skin tightening procedures?
Ultherapy is the only nonsurgical skin rejuvenation procedure that can specifically target and strengthen the deep foundational layer of tissue that doctors address in surgery. The ability to treat not just the skin but its underlying support, from the inside out, helps to ensure both safe and satisfying results, with no downtime.
What does it feel like?
There may be some discomfort while the energy is being delivered, but it is temporary and a signal that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Comfort thresholds vary from patient to patient, and practitioners will discuss options for making the experience as pleasant as possible. Patients leave comfortable and happy given the benefits to come.
What can I expect afterwards?
You are able to return to your normal activities right away, and there are no special measures you need to take. Your skin may appear a bit flushed immediately after the treatment, but any redness should disappear within an hour. Occasionally patients may experience slight swelling, brusing, or tenderness to the touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature.
Is Ultherapy safe?
Ultrasound energy has a proven track record, with use in the field of medicine for over 50 years and clinical trials have demonstrated the safety of this latest application. As with any medical procedure, there are general safety considerations, which your physician will review with you.

Easily Capture High Quality, Standardized Facial Images
VISIA’s multi-point positioning system and live image overlay make it easy to capture perfectly registered images to document progress over time. Rotating capture module easily captures left, right and frontal facial views.
IntelliFlash®, cross-polarized and UV lighting are used to record and measure surface and subsurface skin conditions. UV photography provides the most complete data set available for sun damage assessment and analysis, including UV fluorescence imaging to reveal porphyrins.
Canfield’s RBX® Technology separates the unique color signatures of Red and Brown skin components for unequaled visualization of conditions such as spider veins, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, and acne.
SPOTS
Spots are typically brown or red skin lesions including freckles, acne scars, hyper-pigmentation and vascular lesions.
WRINKLES
Wrinkles are furrows, folds or creases in the skin.
TEXTURE
Texture is primarily an analysis of skin smoothness.
PORES
Pores are the circular surface openings of sweat gland ducts
UV SPOTS
UV Spots occur when melanin coagulates below the skin surface as a result of sun damage.
BROWN SPOTS
Brown Spots are lesions on the skin such as hyper-pigmentation, freckles, lentigines, and melasma.
RED AREAS
Red Areas represent a variety of conditions, such as acne, inflammation, Rosacea or spider veins.
PORPHYRINS
Porphyrins are bacterial excretions that can become lodged in pores and lead to acne.
