Ultherapy is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production and lift and tighten loose skin, resulting in a more lifted face and neck. It is the only FDA-cleared procedure that lifts the skin on the neck, chin, and brow and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest.
How Ultherapy Works
Ultherapy works by delivering microfocused ultrasound energy to the deep layers of the skin, where it creates tiny thermal lesions. These thermal lesions stimulate the production of new collagen, which helps to tighten and lift the skin. Collagen is a protein that gives skin its structure and elasticity. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, and our skin begins to sag and wrinkle. The treatment is also able to target the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS), which is the layer of connective tissue that provides support to the skin.
Benefits of Ultherapy
Ultherapy has several benefits, including:
- It is a non-surgical procedure, so there is no downtime or recovery time.
- It is a safe and effective procedure with minimal side effects.
- It can be used to treat a variety of areas on the face and neck, including the eyebrows, jowls, and décolletage.
- It can provide natural-looking results that can last for years.
Most patients see results within a few weeks of the treatment, and the results can continue to improve for up to six months. Ultherapy can be used to treat a variety of concerns, including:
- Sagging skin on the face, neck, and décolletage
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Brow drooping
- Jowls
- Double chin
Science Behind Ultherapy
Ultherapy is based on the principle of ultrasound-induced collagen denaturation. When ultrasound energy is applied to the skin, it creates heat. This heat causes the collagen molecules in the skin to break down. The body then responds by producing new collagen to repair the damaged tissue. This new collagen is stronger and more elastic than the old collagen, which helps to tighten and lift the skin.
Studies on the Effectiveness of Ultherapy
There is a growing body of scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of Ultherapy. These studies have shown that Ultherapy can be effective in lifting and tightening the skin of the face and neck.
A 2017 study published in the journal Dermatology and Therapy found that Ultherapy was an effective treatment for lifting and tightening the skin on the face and neck.
Another study, published in the journal Aesthetic Surgery Journal in 2018, found that Ultherapy was a safe and effective treatment for brow lifting.
Ultherapy is a safe and effective non-surgical treatment that can help to lift and tighten the skin of the face and neck. It is a good option for people looking for a natural-looking way to improve their appearance without the risks and downtime of surgery.
