Ultherapy uses the safe, time-tested energy of ultrasound to stimulate the deep structural support layers of the skin—including those typically addressed in a surgical facelift—without disturbing the surface of the skin. There’s no downtime, no foreign substances, no radical change. While ultrasound does not duplicate the results of surgery, Ultherapy has proven to be an inviting alternative for those who are not yet ready for surgery.

The Effect of Focused Ultrasound Energy on the Growth of New Collagen Over Time.

Is Ultherapy Treatment Right for Me?

A good candidate for Ultherapy in Nashville is someone with skin that has “relaxed” to the point of looking and often feeling, less firm. Sagging skin on the eyelids, on the neck, or under the chin, for instance, is often the first sign of “maturing” skin. Typically, those in their thirties and older who have mild to moderate skin laxity are candidates.

While Ultherapy is not a replacement for a surgical facelift, there are many people who want some lifting but are not ready for surgery, either mentally, financially, or logistically. There are also younger people who want to “stay ahead of the game,” as well as those looking to prolong the effects of cosmetic surgery.

The Benefits of Ultherapy

  • Stimulates Collagen Production: The treatment stimulates the production of collagen, a key protein that helps maintain skin elasticity and firmness, leading to long-lasting rejuvenation.
  • Customizable Treatment: Ultherapy can be tailored to target specific areas and address individual skin concerns, providing personalized results for each patient.
  • Gradual Improvement: The results of Ultherapy develop gradually over a few months, allowing for a more natural progression of facial enhancement as collagen production increases.
  • Minimal Discomfort: Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, and any sensations felt are typically brief and well-tolerated.
  • Suitable for Various Skin Types: Ultherapy is effective on different skin types and tones, making it a versatile option for a wide range of patients seeking non-invasive skin tightening.

Recovery From Ultherapy Treatment

You can resume normal activities immediately after a single, 60-90 minute in-office procedure. You may notice a short-term “boost” but the natural process of creating new, more elastic, collagen builds over time—much like the effect that exercise has on building muscle. Results will unfold over the course of 2-3 months and some patients have reported continued improvement for up to 6 months, including lifting and tightening of the skin on the neck, under the chin, along the jawline, and on the brow.

Where is Ultherapy Performed?

What areas of the body can be treated with Ultherapy besides the face?

While Ultherapy is commonly used for the face, neck, and décolletage, it can also be applied to other areas of the body where skin laxity is a concern, such as the upper arms, abdomen, and knees. This versatility allows for a comprehensive approach to skin tightening, helping to firm and lift multiple areas without surgery.

How does Ultherapy differ from laser treatments for skin tightening?

Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to target deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and providing lifting and tightening without affecting the skin's surface. In contrast, laser treatments typically focus on superficial layers, addressing pigmentation and texture issues. Ultherapy's deep penetration makes it especially effective for lifting the face, neck, and décolletage.

Are Anesthesia and Medication Used During Ultherapy Treatment?

A topical numbing agent is used during the second pass of the Ultherapy treatment.
