Beauty IS more than Skin Deep!

Our skin is our largest organ. It helps to protect us as well as keep us beautiful. Did you know that that the old saying of "beauty is more than skin deep" is actually true? Our skin has multiple layers, the outermost is what you see. Why do I bring this up? Because now is a great time to address those “underneath” the skin issues so that by the fall and holidays, you see more package than what is customary for the holidays. What package am I talking about? Your beautiful supple skin…Ultherapy…that is what I am talking about. It’s the “beneath the skin” skin treatment.

What is Ultherapy?

According to the manufacturer, it is the only non-invasive treatment cleared by the FDA for lifting the skin on the neck, chin, and brow, and improving lines and wrinkles on the décolletage using microfocused ultrasound to lift and tighten loose skin over time, without any downtime.

Is it safe?

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.

What exactly is collagen and how to Ultherapy improve it?

Collagen is a natural protein that gives skin its youthfulness by keeping it firm and toned. As we age, collagen breaks down, and the result is a loss of skin strength and elasticity through its microfocused ultrasound generating a thermal effect beneath the outer later of the skin. This basically initiates your body’s own production of fresh, new collagen.

How is it different than other procedures that you offer?

Ultherapy is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses time-tested technology to stimulate the formation of new collagen deep below the skin’s surface. The production of new collagen takes time, so results can become more apparent over two to three months, even up to six months. The procedure takes about 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area treated, and there is no downtime afterward.

I have heard it called a non-surgical facelift. Is that true?

Ultherapy treats the deep foundational layer addressed in cosmetic surgery, but won’t duplicate the results of a surgical facelift. Ultherapy is a great alternative for those not ready for surgery.

What about my turkey neck? Can it help that?

As the only non-invasive procedure FDA-cleared to lift skin on the neck, 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.

How long does it last?

Since the procedure stimulates a person’s own collagen production, how long the results last depends on the individual. While results appear over two to three months, they can last up to a year or more. The treatment produces new collagen on the inside, but the individual’s natural aging process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the outside. Future touch-up treatments can help provide more control over the aging process, which varies by individual.

Does Ultherapy hurt?

As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, stimulating the collagen-building process. Comfort levels vary from person to person, but the sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is being delivered. Many people say they feel very little, but some find the procedure painful. We offer ProNox to help ease the discomfort. It only hurts while you are doing it, and ProNox really provides temporary solutions to discomfort and allows you to go on with you day afterwards.*

What are the side effects?

There may be slight redness that typically resolves within a few hours following the treatment. Some patients may have slight swelling, tingling, or tenderness to the touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature.
