What Makes Ulthera the Unique Skin Rejuvenator?

April 16, 2015 by Dr. Vitenas

What Makes Ulthera the Unique Skin Rejuvenator?

Many different skin-resurfacing techniques have been developed. Research and development continues to push the science and technology of skin rejuvenation, building on the treatments and strategies that came before. 

Ulthera Lift, or Ultherapy, is one of the latest and unique advancements. It is the only FDA approved nonsurgical, non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses ultrasound to treat the skin and at depths other treatment methods cannot match. There are many advantages to choosing the sound energy of Ulthera to stimulate the production collagen in the foundational layers of the skin and significantly lift and tighten the skin of the face, neck, and décolletage (chest) area.

How Ulthera Works to Rejuvenate the Skin

Ulthera uses the same tried and true ultrasound energy technology most commonly used in diagnosing the health of a baby still in the womb. Through ultrasound imaging, it is the only technology that allows the practitioner to see the area being treated. This allows the doctor to focus the sound energy on the areas where it will have the most benefit.

Ulthera stimulates collagen regeneration in the skin’s deep foundational layer by targeting the ultrasound energy at this area at the optimal temperature. This triggers the body’s own natural collagen building process called neocollagenesis. Fresh, new collagen is produced causing a clinically significant lifting of the skin over a two to three-month period.

One treatment is usually all a patient needs. A treatment of the neck and face takes from 60 to 90 minutes and a décolletage (chest) treatment takes about 30 minutes. During treatment you may feel a small sensation where the energy is being deposited that indicates the neocollagenesis is starting, this feeling only lasts at that moment. There is no down or recovery time. The skin may appear flush, but this will dissipate in a few hours. This FDA-approved treatment has been safely used in over 250,000 procedures around the world using the same ultrasound energy in wide use medically for over 50 years.

How Ulthera Compares to Other Types of Cosmetic Procedures

It can be used in lieu of facelift or to extend the results of that cosmetic surgery. It can also be used along with light energy laser treatments like IPL or Limelight, Laser Genesis, and Titan Skin Tightening that cannot get past the surface skin layers like Ulthera can.

Lasers use light not sound energy and they do not reach the deep, foundational layers of the skin, so they only treat superficial skin issues and are not an FDA-approved treatment to lift the skin. They treat different layers of skin so they are quite complementary.

Ulthera has been proven to be a uniquely effective technology. It treats a wide variety of areas of the skin to reverse the effects of mild to severe aging and sagging of the skin.
