Ultrasound technology skin tightening with Ultherapy®

How would you like to have a tighter and younger skin that last for 2 years after only one treatment? What if we tell you that there is no downtime and no scars and it takes about 1 hour to perform and is totally safe? This is possible and the results speak for themselves. Ultherapy® is the only FDAcleared device for non invasive skin tightening and collagen stimulation with clinically proven results and studies since 2009 and growing.

What is Ultherapy®?

It is a non invasive ultrasound based device that delivers precise heat energy to deeper layers of the skin where new collagen is formed.

How does Ultherapy® work ?

It precisely and consistently heats deep tissues to 60-70°C, the optimal temperatures for collagen contraction and denaturation. The body recognizes the heat as an “injury” and initiates the wound healing and tissue repair by making new collagen, which will later transform and become firmer and stronger. This change of collagen over time leads to tissue lifting and tightening.

How does collagen change after Ultherapy® ?

This process happens over three overlapping stages: Inflammation due to the heat, new collagen production, following collagen maturation, strengthening and lifting.

Which areas can be treated?

How long does the treatment last?

Does Ultherapy® hurt?

It is a very safe and generally painless procedure. The heating of the tissue may give a very slight discomfort to some people, therefore Dr. Avaliani usually accessed the pain and anxiety before the start of procedure to maximize each clients comfort level.

Is there any down time after Ultherapy® ?

Will one see immediate results or its more gradual?
