The Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to visualize and tighten the skin and deeper soft tissue. Initial treatments have focused on the eyebrow lift, which is one of the first signs of aging, ultimately causing the eyes to look smaller. Ulthera lifts the brow, reducing the excess skin on the eye lids and opening up the eyes to give a more refreshed appearance. The treatment gently heats up the tissue to lift and tighten loose skin without cutting the surface. The procedure also results in the creation of new collagen in the skin, which contributes to the overall effect of youthfulness.
Ultherapy requires a session that generally lasts up to an hour, and uses the body's own healing response to gradually restore memory to the skin and its underlying tissue. Usually, only one treatment is needed to get a significant response. The effect of Ultherapy is seen immediately by patients, yet the ultimate lifting takes place over a period of 2-3 months as the tired collagen in the skin is rejuvenated.
