What is Ultherapy (nonsurgical ultrasound technology) and How Does It Help Sagging Skin?

 

As we age, our skin naturally begins to lose some of it's elasticity. This can cause the skin on our face and neck to sag and create wrinkles and lines which is all part of the natural aging process. Ultherapy is a nonsurgical, FDA-cleared option to treat loose or sagging skin to help promote new collagen in the skin. So, how exactly does Ultherapy work for skin aging?

 

Ultherapy uses non surgical ultrasound technology to heat the deep layers of your skin without damaging the surface of your skin and increase collagen production to tighten skin. This nonsurgical ultrasound energy helps to stimulate the growth of the new collagen, which can help to lift and tighten your skin for a more youthful appearance instead of plastic surgery. Ultherapy can be used on the full face to treat wrinkles on your forehead, under your eyes, and neck on most patients to tighten loose skin and promote collagen growth. The effects can emulate the results of a mini facelift after a few sessions due to the collagen building process.

How does Ultherapy Work?

 

One of the great things about non-surgical Ultherapy is that it can be customized to each patient's individual needs. The amount of focused ultrasound energy that is used and the depth of penetration can be adjusted depending on the areas being treated and the patient's goals to moderate skin laxity. Ultherapy is a relatively quick procedure with minimal downtime; most patients only experience slight redness and swelling after their treatment which is non-invasive solution to cosmetic surgery.

The Side Effects of Ultherapy

If you're considering Ultherapy as a way to achieve tighter, more youthful-looking skin, you may be wondering about the potential effects vs cosmetic surgery. While Ultherapy is safe and effective for most people for a neck lift, it's important to be aware of the possible risks before undergoing neck treatment.  

During treatment, the ultrasound energy used to stimulate collagen production can cause temporary mild to moderate discomfort. This is usually described as a prickling or tingling sensation, and it usually subsides within a few minutes. Some people may also experience slight swelling, bruising, or redness immediately after treatment, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days. 

​

There have been rare reports of more serious side effects, such as nerve damage and burns, but these are usually the result of incorrect Ultherapy application. When performed by a trained and experienced professional, Ultherapy is safe and effective with minimal risk of side effects. 

If you're considering Ultherapy as a way to achieve tighter, more refreshed look, the risks are typically minimal. The most common side effect is temporary discomfort during treatment, which can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication for pain management. There is also a small risk of temporary swelling, bruising, or redness after treatment. However, when performed by a trained professional, Ultherapy is safe and effective with minimal risk.

Factors That Affect The Cost of Ultherapy
The cost of Ultherapy will vary depending on a number of factors, including:

The area being treated - Larger areas will typically require more treatment time and thus may be more expensive. For instance, treating the brow area may be less expensive than treating the jawline for loose skin.

​

The size of the treatment area - The size of the treatment area will also affect the price. A larger treatment area will require more ultrasound energy and may be more expensive. 

The number of treatments - Some patients may only need one Ultherapy treatment to achieve their desired results, while others may need two or more treatments spaced several months apart. 

​

The experience of the provider - As with any medical procedure, it's important to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience performing Ultherapy. Not only will this help ensure your safety, but it will also help ensure you get the best possible results. 
An experienced plastic surgeon can also provide you with a realistic idea of how many treatments you'll need to achieve your desired results. 

The bottom line is that Ultherapy is an investment in your appearance. But when you consider the long-lasting results and the lack of downtime, it's easy to see why Ultherapy has become one of the most popular nonsurgical cosmetic procedures available today.
