Ultherapy

What is Ultherapy?

The Ultherapy procedure stimulates collagen production by delivering focused ultrasound energy to theskin’s foundational layer typically addressed in cosmetic surgery—without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin.

​​​​​​​Unlike lasers, radio frequency, surgery and other technologies, non-surgical Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin to deliver the right amount of ultrasound energy at the right depths and the right temperature. This energy causes some of the underlying collagen to break down and be rebuilt,
achieving many of the benefits of a surgical facelift in a comfortable, nonsurgical treatment with no down time. You are then using your body’s own natural healing process helping you to achieve real, natural skin tightening.

What can Ultherapy treat?

Ultherapy was the first method approved for the decolletage, the neckline, but can treat the whole face, neck, and knees.

What to Expect

When you arrive, you will have topical anesthetic cream applied to the area to be treated. A local anesthetic can also be used.

The ultrasound transducer is applied to the skin surface with an ultrasound gel and the area is treated with repeated passes over the skin. We will directly visualize the structures on our monitor so we may avoid blood vessels and major structures.

Ultherapy gives a sensation of prickly heat and, in some areas, can be achy. Because every person has a different tolerance, some patients may have very little pain while others may complain of some discomfort. Dr Woon utilizes Pronox, a mild nitrous oxide antianxiety gas if needed.

Even though this is a noninvasive procedure, it is a form of surgery, so you may experience some bruising. We do not recommend having this procedure within 2 weeks of a major social event. Patients generally do not experience much swelling.

Recommended Treatment Duration

Results appear over 2−3 months as new collagen works to lift and tighten skin on the neck, chin and brow as well as smooth skin on the chest. While Ultherapy won’t duplicate the results of a facelift, it’s a clinically proven non-invasive alternative for those not ready for surgery—and can even be an option for patients who wish to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery.

The effects of this treatment are notably long lasting, peaking in months and lasting up to several years.

Results take 90 days for full effect but you can continue to see improvement up to 4-6 months.

Results last 1-2 years and you can do touch ups or maintenance.

From Dr. Cybele Woon

"Ultherapy is a very effective skin tightening procedure that can give you a natural lift to brows, face, chin, neck, and is the only procedure approved for the décolletage. I had Ultherapy myself and was amazed at my results. After 3-6 months, I no longer found myself pulling my skin back in the mirror to
look younger. (You know what I’m talking about…) I didn’t even KNOW I had “pre-jowls” until they went away! If you want a natural looking lift, this is it!"
