What Areas Does Ultherapy Treat?
Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to deliver its collagen-boosting treatment, transforming certain areas of the body. The treatment possibilities are:
Non-Invasive Neck and Lower Face Lift
Ultherapy can tighten facial soft tissue causing the skin to lift. By causing a boost in the production of collagen, this ultrasound treatment can help tighten the skin around the neck and lower face that naturally becomes droopy with time. Although the results are not identical to a facelift, the procedure stimulates the same structural support layers of the skin that are typically addressed in a facelift. Ultherapy can provide a dramatic improvement in the tightening and lifting of the skin, providing similar results to that of a facelift. This gives patients’ neck and lower face a younger look without having to submit to surgical procedures.
Non-Surgical Brow Lift
Ultherapy is an extremely effective non-invasive alternative to achieving fresher, tighter and smoother skin, especially in the brow area. As skin wrinkles and sags over time, Ultherapy jumpstarts the production of collagen in the brow area, tightening and lifting the skin. FDA cleared for treatments on the face, neck and chest; Ultherapy has had excellent results in non-surgical brow lifting procedures. Patients can experience brow lifts of up to 2mm, which is significant for a non-invasive procedure.
The Non-Invasive Tummy Tuck
As we age our body and skin often naturally looses collagen, thus making it looser or slacker. This can be problematic for the skin around the abdomen, especially if someone has experienced weight gain/loss or the skin around the belly has been stretched during pregnancy. Ultherapy can be an effective non-surgical technique for tightening or “tucking” in your tummy. Although Ultherapy’s FDA approval is for treatment in the face, neck and chest area, it is commonly used to tighten skin on other parts of the body, especially the abdomen. Candidate selection is important when evaluating the potential success of the procedure since several sessions are often required to achieve best results. Nonetheless, Ultherapy remains an effective alternative for people looking for non-surgical “tummy tuck” solutions.
Upper Arms Skin Lifting and Tightening
Surgical upper arm lifts often leave reasonably large scars from the elbow to up and under the arm. While surgical arm lifting is an invasive procedure, Ultherapy upper arm treatment is an effective, non-invasive solution for tightening the loose skin that can accumulate around the upper arm. Ultherapy can provide qualitative skin resurfacing and the tightening of skin laxity in the upper arm area without the risks and recovery time associated with surgery.
Upper Knees Skin Tightening
The Ultherapy ultrasound energy is able to penetrate the skin deeper than lasers or radiofrequency, making it a highly effective non-surgical technique for tightening the drooping skin around the upper knee. Because the Ultherapy specialist is able to use different hand pieces when performing the procedure, skin lifting and tightening of different areas of the body, such as the upper knee, can be achieved. Ultherapy is often used “off label” to tighten sagging skin on the knees, giving patients younger, smoother looking legs.
