It is a lifting of sagging facial contours without a scalpel.
Ultrasound therapy is a revolutionary method of rejuvenation – a non-invasive alternative to surgical facelifts. Plastic surgery is no longer the only solution to weakened facial contours. As a result, addressing the signs of aging and tightening the skin is no longer a problem. This unique treatment has gained popularity for its non-invasive course and benefit in the form of new collagen formation, which visibly slows down the aging process.
Ultherapy uses the body’s natural regenerative ability to gently and gradually restore the memory of the skin and supporting tissues to the state they were in a few years ago. As a result, the natural expression of the face is preserved. The lifting effect can last up to 5 years. Ulterapia is a new American technology that is entering the European market. The Ulthera device combats the signs of aging and the effects of gravity with a non-surgical treatment based on highly effective ultrasound.
Who is the treatment suitable for?
A suitable candidate is anyone whose skin is sagging and less firm. Sagging eyebrows are often a sign of “mature” skin. At the same time, it is a welcome and effective alternative for all clients who do not want to undergo surgical lifting.
Which areas are suitable for treatment?
Suitable areas are the whole face, i.e., cheek area, around the ears, neck, eyes and forehead, hands and feet. When treating the face and neck with the Ulterapia method, it is possible to improve the following:
- raising the eyebrows and thus also raising the drooping eyelids
- lifting and strengthening sagging cheeks
- neck and chin strengthening
As with other ultrasound procedures, a smooth ultrasound head is placed on the skin, with the help of which a detailed image of your skin is displayed on the device’s screen, which can be used to plan the course of the treatment precisely. The doctor then uses an ultrasound probe to send precise pulses of intense ultrasound to a depth of 4-5 mm of the supporting tissue – this is where the best lifting results are achieved. The skin reacts to the supplied energy by creating new collagen, causing it to tighten and shrink gradually.
Ultherapy can be performed all year round – in the summer, you can sunbathe after the treatment. The length of entire facial treatment lasts approximately 60 minutes.
How many treatments are needed?
The entire regeneration process begins with a single treatment. The final result develops gradually over the next 2-3 months. Visible effects are tightening and firming of sagging skin. The final result is visible after 90 days. Clients report that their face and neck skin feel firmer and tighter immediately after treatment. Another advantage of Ultherapy is that, in addition to visible results, Ultherapy also brings seemingly invisible, progressive results: the creation of new collagen, which slows down the overall aging process. The benefits of treatment can last up to 5 years.
After treatment
No remarkable recovery is required after the treatment. The skin may be temporarily slightly reddened after the procedure. However, the redness subsides within a few hours. A few days after the process, skin tension, sensitivity to touch, possible bruising, or slight swelling is typical. However, these symptoms disappear within 3-4 days. The client does not feel any pain after the procedure.
