ULTHERA
APPLICATION
WHAT IS ULTHERA?
It is a treatment method based on creating heat foci 3 mm and 4.5 mm below the skin using focused ultrasound waves and thus triggering collagen production. Ulthera, a non-surgical skin tightening method, treats the loosening and sagging of the skin caused by time and gravity. The result obtained after a 30-45 minute session with Ulthera occurs by strengthening the subcutaneous connective tissue.
HOW DOES ULTHERA WORK?
As with other ultrasound procedures, the application head touches the skin, and the skin and subcutaneous tissue are displayed on the monitor of the device so that the doctor can plan the working area. Then, with the same application head, it is ensured that the skin benefits positively from this with thermal heat foci 4.5 mm and 3 mm below the skin. During this process, the skin surface is not affected by the application.
Thanks to the energy reaching the skin, stimulation increases and new collagen is formed in the skin. A strong firming effect occurs, resulting in a non-surgical “face lift” effect over time.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS PROCEDURE AND OTHER NON-SURGICAL FACE LIFT PROCEDURES?
Ulthera is the only skin firming method using focused ultrasound technology. It is possible to achieve effective and satisfactory results with a single application on the skin.
WHAT IS FELT DURING THE APPLICATION?
Although the sensations during the application vary from person to person, it is recommended that the person to be treated should take a painkiller before the application. People describe the pain they feel during the application as an instant “pinprick”. This means that ultrasound energy reaches deep into the tissue and thus Ultherapy produces a lifting and firming effect on the skin.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER THE APPLICATION?
Immediately after the application, the person can return to their daily activities. There is nothing to be cautious about. Although some people may experience redness after the application, this situation returns to normal after a few hours.
IS ULTHERAPY A SAFE METHOD?
Ultrasound energy has been used in medicine for more than 50 years and clinical trials have proven that it has no side effects. As in every medical practice, your doctor will make the necessary explanations on the subject.
WHAT OUTCOME SHOULD
BE EXPECTED?
After a single application, the regeneration process starts immediately, but it takes 60-90 days for the desired result to appear. As a result of the studies conducted by FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration), a visible effect was detected in eyebrow lifting application in 9 out of 10 patients. As a result, there is a decrease in eyelid laxity and wrinkles around the eyes.
People who were treated in the neck and face area stated that they had a firmer, tighter and better quality skin.
WHO ARE SUITABLE CANDIDATES FOR ULTHERA APPLICATION?
All people with loose or sagging skin are suitable candidates for Ulthera. It is used for eyebrow lifting in those with low eyebrow structure, mid-face thinning and firming, firming the under arms and inner upper leg skin.
