As we age, our skin slowly loses the firming elasticity underneath the surface that keeps our face and chest wrinkle-free. The Ultherapy procedure uses the body’s own regenerative response to gradually restore elasticity to the skin and underlying tissue support. The skin’s response to ultrasound produces fresh, elastic collagen cells that tighten and lift skin on the face, neck, and chest. To be as effective as possible, Ultherapy stimulates collagen growth in the skin tissue at three different layers in a medical process known as neocollagenesis. Unlike lasers, radiofrequency, or surgery, Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin to deliver a precise amount of ultrasound energy at the targeted skin depth, and the appropriate temperature for each client. There are no toxins, no drugs, and no needles to fear. Pure energy pulses trigger a natural response under the skin, jumpstarting the regenerative process that produces fresh and natural skin elasticity. Some patients see an initial effect right after their treatment, but the full results appear slowly and naturally over several months, as new collagen works to lift and tighten skin across the body.
