HOW ULTHERAPY WORKS

As we age, our skin loses elasticity, resulting in the development of fine lines and wrinkles. While treatments like BOTOX® and surgical options such as eyelid lifts can effectively address these issues, Ultherapy is the leading non-surgical solution specifically targeting the same skin layer tightened during a facelift (the SMAS layer).

Ultherapy penetrates deep into the skin using ultrasonic energy, generating heat that stimulates collagen production. This gradual process tightens and lifts the skin, rejuvenating it. By activating the body’s natural healing processes, Ultherapy promotes restoring healthy, radiant skin and a more youthful appearance.

BENEFITS OF ULTHERAPY

Ultherapy is an excellent choice for individuals experiencing mild to moderate facial aging. Dr. Matthew White provides this skin rejuvenating treatment for those seeking to enhance their appearance without invasive and often unnecessary surgical procedures.

When you opt for Ultherapy, you can experience the following benefits:

  • Visible results without the need for surgery
  • Natural lifting effect on the skin
  • Gradual improvements for subtle enhancement
  • Minimal recovery time required
  • Completely non-invasive treatment
  • Low risk of side effects
  • Highly comfortable procedure
  • Usually, no downtime is needed

ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR ULTHERAPY?  

Ultherapy is a gentle and safe facial rejuvenation treatment that is generally an excellent option for most individuals. Consider the following:

  • If you're looking for a non-invasive way to tackle sagging skin and wrinkles on your face and neck, there's a strong possibility that you qualify for this procedure
  • Typically, candidates for Ultherapy are in their 30s and 40s and experience mild to moderate skin laxity
  • Candidates often have loose, sagging skin around the neck and eyes and wish to proactively address early signs of aging

However, while Ultherapy is an effective and beneficial treatment, it is essential to understand that it is not a substitute for a facelift. If you are dealing with more advanced signs of aging, such as deep wrinkles and significant skin looseness, a surgical procedure may be necessary to achieve the desired results.

WHAT TO EXPECT BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER

CONSULTATION

During your consultation with Dr. White, you can discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns in detail. He will thoroughly assess your skin, evaluating factors such as elasticity and signs of aging. Dr. White will also explain the Ultherapy procedure, including how it works and what to expect during and after treatment. This is also a great time to ask any questions you may have about the process, potential results, and recovery. Dr. White will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your needs, ensuring you feel informed and confident moving forward.

PROCEDURE

If you choose to proceed with Ultherapy, the treatment usually lasts one hour to an hour and a half, depending on your specific needs. Dr. White will apply ultrasonic energy to enhance the targeted areas of your face. He can visualize the deeper layers of skin during the procedure using advanced ultrasound imaging, enabling him to tailor the energy levels for optimal comfort and effectiveness.

RECOVERY

With Ultherapy, no incisions or injections are involved, resulting in minimal downtime and no specific aftercare instructions. You can immediately return to your regular daily activities. However, some patients may notice a mild flushed appearance and slight swelling and tenderness in the treated area. These effects are typically very mild and tend to resolve quickly.

RESULTS

Results from Ultherapy can often be noticed immediately, but the optimal effects typically become visible within two to three months. Some patients even report improvements lasting up to six months! This gradual process revitalizes your skin, making it less apparent that any treatment has been performed.

It’s important to remember that while Ultherapy provides long-lasting results, it does not stop aging. Therefore, you must schedule regular maintenance visits to maintain your youthful appearance and address any new signs of aging as they arise.

Is Ultherapy a replacement for a facelift?

No, Ultherapy is not a substitute for a facelift for individuals with significant signs of aging that require attention. However, for those with mild to moderate skin laxity who aren’t ready for surgery, it offers an excellent non-invasive alternative that can yield impressive results.

How is Ultherapy different from lasers?

Lasers are designed to treat surface-level skin imperfections, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage, while Ultherapy targets the deeper layers of the skin to lift aging tissues. Because these treatments address different concerns, they are often combined for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
