FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW IS ULTHERAPY DIFFERENT FROM OTHER COSMETIC PROCEDURES?
Ultherapy is the only non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses focused ultrasound to stimulate the growth of new collagen deep within the skin. The production of new collagen occurs over time, so results can become more apparent over three to six months. The procedure takes only about an hour for most patients, and there is no downtime. It also is the only procedure to use ultrasound imaging, which allows us to actually see the layers of tissue we target during the treatment and ensure the energy is deposited precisely to where it will be most effective.
IS ULTHERAPY SAFE?
The procedure has been cleared by the FDA after demonstrating safety in clinical studies, and over 100,000 treatments have been performed safely worldwide. In addition, ultrasound energy has a proven track record, with use in the field of medicine for more than 50 years.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS DOES IT TAKE?
The majority of patients only need one treatment; however, some may benefit from more than one treatment depending on how much laxity they have and their body’s own biological response to the ultrasound and the collagen-building process.
WHAT ABOUT TREATING ANATOMICAL REGIONS OTHER THAN THE FACE?
Ultherapy does a great job of “turning back the clock”, although the normal aging process continues of course. Most of our clients love their result and choose to have another treatment 1.5 to 2 years later.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR ULTHERAPY?
A good candidate for Ultherapy is women and men with skin that has some degree of laxity, to the point of looking, and often feeling, less firm. A lowered eyebrow line of sagging skin on the eyelids, for instance, is often the first sign of “maturing” skin. Loose skin under the neck and under the chin signals a patient might be a candidate. Typically, those in their thirties and older who have mild to moderate skin laxity are candidates.
While Ultherapy is not a replacement for a surgical face lift, there are many people who want some lifting but are not ready for surgery, either mentally, physically or financially. There also are younger people who want to “stay ahead of the game” as well as those looking to prolong the effects of cosmetic surgery.
