Ulthera

It is a treatment method based on creating heat centers 3mm and 4.5mm below the skin by using focused ultrasound waves, thus triggering collagen production.

How does it work?

Ulthera is a non-surgical skin firming method. Loosening and sagging of the skin, caused by aging and gravity are treated. After a 30–45-minute session with Ulthera, strengthening of the subcutaneous connective tissue is achieved and results are observed.

  • How does Ulthera work?

Like other ultrasound procedures, the head of the applicator is placed on the skin. The skin and subcutaneous tissue are displayed on the monitor of the device so that the physician who will perform the application can plan the working area. Afterwards, using the same application head, thermal heat foci concentrating 4.5 mm and 3 mm below the skin are implemented, which benefits the skin positively. The skin surface is not affected during this section of the application. Thanks to the energy reaching the skin, the stimulation increases, and enables new collagen formation in the skin. A strong firming effect occurs, and results in a non-surgical "face lift" effect over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ulthera is the only skin firming method in which focus ultrasound technology is used. It is possible to achieve effective and satisfactory results with a single application on the skin.

Although it differs from person to person, it is recommended that the person whom the application will be performed on take a pain reliever prior to the procedure. People describe the pain they feel during the application as instantaneous pricking of "pins and needles". This means that ultrasound energy reaches deep into the tissue, thus Ultherapy creates a lifting and tightening effect on the skin.

The person can immediately resume daily activities. There are no issues which may require attention. Although some people may experience redness after the application, this condition returns to normal after a few hours.

Ultrasound energy has been used in the field of medicine more than 50 ways and has been proven in clinical trials to have no side effects. As in every medical practice, your physician will make the necessary explanations on the subject.

The regeneration process starts immediately after a single application, but the desired results are achieved after 60-90 days. Results of the studies conducted by the FDA reveal that, in 9 out of 10 patients, a visible effect can be observed in the application of eyebrow suspension. As a result, the laxity of the eyelid and the wrinkles around the eyes decrease. People who were treated on the neck and face areas stated that they had firmer, tauter, and better-quality skin.

All people with loosening or sagging skin are suitable candidates for Ulthera. It is applied to persons who have low eyebrow structure, as well as applications of lifting eyebrows, thinning and firming of the middle face, and firming the skin under the arms and inside the upper legs.
