Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound waves to treat deeper layers of your epidermis (skin). Waves within the device heat the skin tissue, tightening it without causing any surface damage.
In the first hour of your appointment at Age-Less, Weigh-Less, we will place a small device that uses ultrasound imaging on your skin. Energy will then be directed below the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production.
The entire process takes about 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Ultherapy® treatments are ideal for those who want to improve their loose skin non-invasive. Patients who have mild-to-moderate skin laxity over thirty are typically good candidates for this procedure. Ultherapy® may be right for you if you have loose skin beneath the neck or wrinkles on your chest.
After initial treatment, most patients will notice the most dramatic improvement in the elasticity of their skin within two to three months. After treatment, the benefits of skin tightening will continue to grow for up to six months and can last up to 2 years.
Ultherapy is FDA-cleared to treat various areas of the face and neck, including the brow, chin, jawline, and upper chest. Its commonly used to lift and tighten sagging skin, improve jawline definition, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in these areas.
Sensations during Ultherapy can vary from person to person, but many individuals report feeling discomfort or a prickling sensation during the treatment. Providers often use topical numbing cream and adjust the energy settings to minimize discomfort.
Ultherapy results are not permanent, but they can be long-lasting. While individual results may vary, many people experience improvements that last for one to two years or more.
On average, a single Ultherapy session can range from $1500 to $5000 or more. The total cost may also depend on whether additional treatments or areas are included in the treatment plan.
While Ultherapy is commonly used as a non-invasive skin tightening treatment for aging skin, some individuals in their 20s may benefit from the procedure, particularly if they have early signs of skin laxity or want to proactively address aging concerns.
