Sun exposure, the natural aging process, and gravity can all take a toll on your appearance. But not everyone is a candidate for surgical skin-lifting procedures. If you\u2019ve been told that you\u2019re not an ideal candidate for surgery to correct sagging in your\u00a0face, neck, eyebrows, under-chin, or d\u00e9colletage<\/strong>,\u00a0Ultherapy PRIME\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0may be the perfect solution for you.<\/p>\n

Many patients think surgery is the only option to rejuvenate sagging skin<\/strong>,<\/p>\n

Many patients assume surgery is the only option for skin tightening, but\u00a0Ultherapy PRIME\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0offers a highly effective,\u00a0non-invasive alternative<\/strong>\u00a0that stimulates collagen production for\u00a0natural, long-lasting skin rejuvenation<\/strong>. It is the\u00a0only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure<\/strong>\u00a0that lifts and tightens the\u00a0neck, chin, brow<\/strong>, and\u00a0d\u00e9colletage<\/strong>, while also smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. However, this advanced ultrasound technology is\u00a0not limited to the face<\/strong>\u2014we also use it to tighten skin on areas such as the\u00a0arms, abdomen, thighs, knees, and buttocks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ultherapy<\/strong> provides proven results in a single treatment to treat your loose skin without surgery, without impacting the surface of your skin, and without downtime. Ultherapy\u00ae<\/strong> uses microfocused ultrasound to generate a thermal effect under the skin. This effect essentially jump-starts your body\u2019s own process to create fresh, new collagen.<\/p>\n

How Ultherapy Prime Works<\/h2>\n

Ultherapy is currently the only noninvasive skin lifting treatment that has been cleared by the FDA. Just one Ultherapy treatment can undo years of damage in as little as 30-90 minutes (depending on the area being treated), without any downtime for you. The Ultherapy PRIME system uses ultrasound technology to stimulate the natural production of collagen. This is known as neocollagenesis, and the new collagen that is created helps lift your skin and decrease wrinkles to give you a younger, smoother look.<\/p>\n

Ultherapy procedures on the face, neck and under-chin areas generally take about 60-90 minutes, and treatments to remove lines and wrinkles from the decolletage takes only around 30 minutes. Many patients will only need one Ultherapy treatment to see the results they want, but others may benefit from additional sessions based on age or other factors. Also, as you age, you might benefit from occasional touch-up sessions.<\/p>\n

Ultherapy Before & After<\/span>
\nIndividual results from procedures cannot be guaranteed, and may vary between patients.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing you really need to do to get ready for your Ultherapy Prime treatment, but you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever if you think you may need it. Side effects are generally temporary and mild, and may include redness, tingling or tenderness, and slight swelling.<\/p>\n

How long does it take to see results?<\/h5>\n

You might or might not see an immediate effect from your Ultherapy Prime procedure, but the majority of the improvement will come within 2-3 months after the treatment as that\u2019s how long it takes to produce new collagen.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in a quick and noninvasive way to lift and tighten your skin, Ultherapy may be the ideal solution for you. Call us to schedule a one-on-one consultation so that we can assess your skin, give you more information and determine if you would be a good candidate for Ultherapy treatment.<\/p>\n

What should I expect before treatment<\/h5>\n

The first thing you will want to do is schedule a one-on-one consultation. During this session, we will address your concerns, assess your skin and determine if you are a candidate for the treatment. Once you book your Ultherapy PRIME\u00ae procedure, you won\u2019t need to follow any special preparations or skincare regimens in advance of the treatment. However, to enhance your comfort, but we may recommend taking an over-the-counter or prescribed pain reliever.<\/b><\/p>\n

What should I expect during treatment<\/h5>\n

After cleansing the skin and identifying the specific areas to be treated, cool ultrasound gel will be applied, and the smooth treatment applicator will be placed against your skin. Next, we use Ultherapy\u2019s ultrasound imaging to determine optimal placement of the treatment energy, and then deliver the focused ultrasound energy beneath the skin\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n

During the treatment delivery, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Comfort levels can vary from person to person, but the sensation only lasts while the energy is being delivered. The length of your treatment will depend on the area being treated and your individual treatment plan. A face and neck procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes, while a chest treatment takes approximately 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

After treatment<\/h5>\n

After your Ultherapy Prime\u00ae Treatment, you may see some initial effect, but the ultimate results will take place over 2-3 months, as your body naturally regenerates collagen. Since the procedure stimulates your own collagen production, how long the results last really depends on you. The treatment produces new collagen on the inside, but your natural aging process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the outside. Most patients only need one treatment. However, based on the degree of skin laxity, the biological response to ultrasound energy and the individual’s collagen-building process, some patients benefit from additional treatments. Because skin continues to age, future touch-up treatments can help patients keep pace with the body’s natural aging process.<\/p>\n

You can return to your normal activities immediately after your procedure without any post-treatment restrictions or requirements. Your skin might appear flushed at first, but the redness should disappear within a few hours. Some patients experience slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to the touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature.\u00a0 As with any medical procedure, there is the possibility for other rare effects, which we will review with you.<\/p>\n
