Ultratherapy

What is Ulthera?

Ultherapy, also known as Ulthera, stands as the original lifting technology employing high-frequency sound waves. This innovative procedure targets sagging skin, wrinkles, and facial rejuvenation without the need for surgery. By utilizing high-intensity focused ultrasound, Ultherapy penetrates beneath the skin layer, creating a heat of 60-70°C at a depth of 1 mm. The procedure involves specific shots of focused ultrasound under the skin, forming small ellipses arranged in a straight line. This process effectively lifts and tightens the skin, offering remarkable results.

In addition, Ulthera can be used to lift and tighten both the face and body. After the procedure You can return to your normal daily life. No need to waste time recuperating. The highlight of Ulthera is that it can solve skin problems. Has gone deep and covered every layer. Using a head with 3 depth levels that are suitable for different problems and skin layers as follows: Head size 1.5 mm., suitable for skin with upper wrinkles. Epidermis and dermis, 3.0 mm head for tightening the fat layer (Subcutis) with vertical collagen. Suitable for reducing sagging skin. Around the eyes and forehead, and can shoot the SMAS layer in certain areas of the face with thin skin layers. 4.5 mm head for shooting the SMAS layer that contains collagen horizontally. And it is the same skin layer used in facelift surgery. It has a 4.5 head size, suitable for lifting cheeks, double chin, and neck.

How Ultherapy Works

• A collagen comeback — As a natural protein, collagen works to give skin its youthfulness by keeping it firm and toned. As we age, collagen breaks down, and the result is a loss of skin strength and elasticity. That’s where Ultherapy steps in and lifts up, through ultrasound therapy.
• No surgery here — Unlike lasers, radio frequency, surgery, and other technologies, nonsurgical Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin through ultrasound energy with focused imaging—to target just the right amount at the right depths and the right temperature. The result is a jumpstart to your body’s own collagen production.
• ‍Natural-looking and noticeable — The proven results of Ultherapy are clear, appearing over two to three months as new collagen works to lift skin on the neck, chin, and brow. As well as smooth skin on the upper chest. Results may improve over the following three to six months, and can last a year or more.* It won’t duplicate the results of a surgical facelift, but Ultherapy is a clinically proven non-invasive alternative for those not ready for surgery.

*Results may vary.

Who is Ulthera suitable for?

Ultherapy is suitable for individuals aged 30 and above who are looking to lift their face and address concerns related to sagging and minor wrinkles, including areas such as the face, face frame, wattle, and neck.

It is an ideal option for those experiencing sagging skin and droopy eyelids but are averse to undergoing facelift surgery due to time constraints for recovery. Ultherapy can effectively lift eyebrows and eyelids without altering the natural facial structure.

Furthermore, individuals with less facial fat who wish to enhance facial definition, particularly along the jawline and reduce wattle, can benefit from Ultherapy.

For busy individuals who struggle to find time for extensive self-care routines, Ultherapy offers a convenient solution. It revitalizes the skin, making it tighter, firmer, and more radiant. Additionally, Ultherapy helps minimize pores and create smoother skin texture by stimulating deep collagen production. Remarkably, undergoing Ultherapy just once a year can yield satisfactory results for these individuals.

Treatment Areas

Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest.

The Ulthera has a screen to see the depth of the point shot down with MFU-V technology, so it has high accuracy. As well as done by experienced doctors in using the Ulthera machine and focusing on stimulating collagen deep into the SMAS layer (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System), which is the same layer as the facelift surgery. As a result, the skin layer shrinks. The results therefore cover many areas of help as follows:

• Lift and tighten the skin, keep the face frame, the face is firmer.
• Stimulate collagen resulting in smooth skin.
• Reduce wrinkles, cheek grooves, grooves under the eyes
• Reduce sagging skin problems
• Helps to lift the eyebrows and the tails of the eyes
• Helps restore skin from deep layers resulting in a younger face.

What is the difference between Ulthera and Hifu?

Ultherapy, or Ulthera, is a procedure that utilizes ultrasound waves to transmit energy deep into the SMAS layer, which is the deeper layer of the skin. This process induces skin contraction, resulting in a lifting effect. Ultherapy's innovation lies in its ability to work on the skin's deepest layers, delivering superior results compared to HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound). Ultherapy can target specific points with precision, and its effects can last for approximately one year. However, it may cause discomfort and is generally more expensive than HIFU.

On the other hand, HIFU macrofocus systems like Ultraformer III operate on the same principle as Ultherapy, stimulating collagen production and reshaping the face. However, these devices have a lower transmission intensity. Consequently, the results may last for a shorter duration, typically between 3-6 months. The advantage of HIFU macrofocus systems lies in minimal pain, making them suitable for individuals who are averse to discomfort. Additionally, these treatments are often more affordable than Ultherapy.
