What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is the ultimate high-tech laser that increases the collagen fibers inside the skin to thicken and lift it. Ultherapy is the only non-invasive treatment cleared by the FDA for the skin of the face and neck. Ultherapy uses ultrasound to visualize the internal structure of the skin and guide the laser beam to thicken the skin at the exact layers where more collagen is needed for firming, lifting and tightening of loose, without any downtime.
Is Ultherapy safe?
Yes, Ultherapy is a proven treatment with a well-established safety profile. It is currently marketed worldwide in more than 75 countries, with over 1.5 million treatments performed globally to date. In addition, ultrasound energy has a proven track record, with use in the field of medicine for more than 50 years.
Can Ultherapy treat turkey necks?
Yes, Ultherapy is designed to treat “turkey neck,” one of the common signs of aging skin. Ultherapy can help you achieve a fresher look without surgery or downtime. Ultherapy firms the thin skin of the neck by producing more collagen and tightening skin that appears loosened and hangs.
How long does Ultherapy results last?
Since the procedure stimulates a person’s own collagen production, how long the results last depends on the individual’s underlying aging process. After the initial series of treatments, very often occasional touch ups, such as yearly treatments, maintain the results. Fortunately, because there is no downtime, this method of treatment is very practical.
How many Ultherapy treatments will I need?
The majority of patients only need one or two treatments; however, some may benefit from a series of three treatments depending on how much skin laxity they have and their body’s own biological response to the ultrasound laser and its collagen-building process. Follow-up Ultherapy treatments each year may help maintain results.
