Ulthera
This is the only innovation that can lift the face at the depth of the upper muscle layer without surgery (SMAS Tissue Lifting) non-invasively, and reduces wrinkles during the treatment. The doctor can see images of the inner skin through a monitor (SEE & TREAT), allowing the doctor to adjust the frequency and energy as she performs the treatment. This technology makes the treatment suitable for each client’s skin condition, resulting in a more precise and better outcome than other technologies.
Research & Development
For over 10 years, Ulthera has researched and tested the use of ultrasound for skin treatments all over the world. Dr. Rox Anderson, director of the Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Boston, MA, USA, is a researcher and developer of medical products, has tested the ultrasound technology with patients that lead to the creation of the first ultrasound machine used to lift the face and tighten the skin was made.
What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a technology for skin lifting and tightening that utilizes high-frequency sound waves with specific focus (Focused Ultrasound) and precision by passing the right amount of energy down to the specific layers of the skin (Selective Delivery of Acoustic Energy).
What Can Ultherapy Do?
– For lifting and tightening of the sagging skin
– Solves the problem of drooping eyelids
– Pulls and tightens the lower eyelid.
– Adjusts the face shape and makes it slender
– Reduces wrinkles
– Takes approximately 30 minutes for treatment
– Does not cause wounds, no downtime
– Can put on make-up as per usual right after the treatment
How does Ultherapy help lift the skin?
The technology releases an amount of sound wave energy that is specific for your skin, which will become small heat spots with a distance of approximately 1-1.5mm between each points, arranged in succession. The amount of energy is focused to go down under the outer skin, deep down to the position that needs to be treated, and get more exact treatment results. The Ultherapy treatment stimulates new tissue formation at the level of SMAS. As SMAS improves, it keeps stronger hold of the collagen fibers vertically and horizontally, which makes for better attachment to the upper surface, helping your skin become compact and naturally smooth from the inside.
How does it feel during the treatment?
While sound waves are released into the subcutaneous tissue, it will feel like having stitches under your skin. You will also feel warmth under your skin, and the degree varies for each person.
After treatment
In some cases, there may be a slight redness on the skin, but will disappear within an hour. You can continue your daily routines without any wounds.
How Is Ultherapy safe?
Ultrasound technology has been used in numerous medical treatments for over 50 years, and Ultherapy has been used by more than 3000 dermatologists and leading plastic surgeons around the world. It is highly recognized for its effectiveness and treatment results.
What are the Expected Results?
After only one treatment, you will gradually see progressive results after 3 months onwards. This is because new tissues and collagen fully form within 3 months. The results of the treatment will continue for about 1 year. From the experiments, it was found that nine out of ten people who were treated were able to notice the results of the treatment clearly. The lifting of the brow line made their eyes look younger and increased facial youthfulness. They felt their skin more tightened, their pores visibly became smaller, and their facial skin and neck became lifted and smooth without having to rely on surgery.
