Ultherapy

Ultherapy is a face-lift without surgery. Skin can be tightened and lifted non-invasively with no downtime using focused ultrasound energy.

Ultherapy is a breakthrough treatment because it results in the firming, tightening and lifting of the skin in just one treatment, without the need for a surgical face-lift.

It stimulates the growth of collagen beneath the skin in order to avoid harming the skin on the surface.

Ultherapy jumpstarts neocollagenesis, the natural process your body uses to make new collagen. When the ultrasonic waves reach the intended tissue layer, they generate a deep thermal (heat) effect.

In turn, the heat stimulates collagen formation and gradually leads to a tightening or lifting of the skin. The superficial layers of the skin are not affected, and neither are surrounding structures like bones, nerves and blood vessels.

This helps to reduce patient discomfort, downtime and side effects.

 

 

How does it works?

Ultherapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, helping to lift and firm the skin. Focused imaging allows our practitioners to visualise and target the energy in the areas of your skin that need it most – with the temperature, depth and amount of energy tailored to each individual.

Ultherapy stimulates the body’s collagen production for effective, personalised results.

As we age, our natural collagen levels begin to slowly break down. This results in a loss of skin elasticity, increase in fine lines and wrinkles, and skin that lacks its youthful look. Collagen degradation begins in our mid-twenties, where we begin to lose 1-2% of our collagen each year.

What does Ultherapy feel like?

As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Comfort levels vary from person to person, but the heating sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is being delivered, and is an indication that the procedure is working.

The neocollagenesis process (production of new collagen) takes place over 2-3 months, or even up to 6 months post treatment, so your results will develop over that time. The treatment produces new collagen on the inside, but your natural ageing process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the outside, the result should be a tightening and lifting of lax skin as well as an increase of volume created by the stimulation of new collagen.

The two most well-known and effective treatment is the American Ulthera and the Korean Ultraforma – both deliver the same type of ultrasound energy.

The effectiveness and success of the treatment depends on 3 main factors:

  1. Number of ultrasound energy lines used.
  2. Various depth that the ultrasound energy is focused.
  3. Strength that the ultrasound energy is applied.

Most patients need one treatment. However, based on the degree of skin laxity, the biological response to ultrasound energy and the individual’s collagen-building process, some patients benefit from additional treatments. Because skin continues to age, future touch-up treatments can help patients keep pace with the body’s natural ageing process.

The length of the treatment will depend on the area being treated and your individual treatment plan. A face and neck procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes, while a chest treatment takes approximately 30 minutes. During the treatment, ultrasound energy will be delivered using the Ulthera® System. Depending on where you are treated, the procedure can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours.

With Ultherapy, there is no downtime. After your procedure, you can resume your normal activities immediately without having to follow any special post-treatment measures. Some patients appear flushed, or may experience slight swelling, tingling, or tenderness to touch.  These side effects are mild and temporary in nature, and are not expected to interfere with your normal activities. As with any medical procedure, there is the possibility for other rare effects, which your practitioner will review with you during your consultation.

The skin might appear flushed at first, but the redness should disappear within a few hours. Some patients experience slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to the touch, but these are temporary in nature. Other, less common post-procedural effects may include temporary bruising or numbness on small areas of skin. As with any medical procedure, there is the possibility for other rare effects, which your practitioner will review with you.
