How Ultherapy Can Help You Look Years Younger
Ultherapy works by helping to build new collagen with a process called neocollagenesis. The treatment focuses ultrasound energy to trigger your body’s natural response to produce collagen. The increased collagen production gently lifts the skin under your chin, neck, brows and other areas prone to sagging.
What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a completely non-invasive FDA approved way to firm sagging skin, the difference in Ultherapy is that it is completely non-invasive, with no needles or injected toxins. Because it is not surgery there are no incisions and no downtime. Only Ultherapy is FDA approved to actually lift your skin. Ultherapy uses sound energy, which can penetrate deeper into the layers of your skin. Laser treatments use light energy and only treat upper skin layers. Laser therapy is also not approved by the FDA to lift skin.
How Ultherapy Works
During your Ultherapy treatment, you may feel small amounts of ultrasound energy penetrating your skin. Your results will look completely natural and you should start seeing younger-looking, firmer skin within two to three months. Your skin will be lifted and tightened, taking years away from your appearance.
At Skin Center, your length of treatment will depend on the area of treatment, and most patients only require one treatment. Typically a face and neck procedure will take 60 to 90 minutes, and a chest treatment will take about 30 minutes.

Treatment Process
In order for your expert to determine the appropriate frequency for each part of your face, they will map and number those locations using a surgical skin marker. The ultrasonic gel will be applied to your skin by your practitioner, who will also gently apply the applicator. While the Ultherapy device heats the tissues beneath your skin, you could get a warm, tingling feeling.
