Ultherapy is a new-generation medical aesthetic procedure that can be briefly described as a non-surgical facelift using focused ultrasound technology.
The treatment aims to reach deep skin tissues through controlled microtrauma created by intensified sound waves, resulting in facial tightening. Results typically become visible within 1–3 months and can last up to 4 years. Ultherapy is particularly effective for cheek lifting, jowl tightening, facial lifting, upper and lower eyelid lifting, and eyebrow lifting.
By using focused ultrasound waves, Ulthera can reach tissue depths of 1.5–4.5 mm that other non-surgical aesthetic procedures cannot access. By stimulating collagen production in these tissues, it provides firmer and more youthful skin. Ulthera is a device equipped with ultrasound imaging that targets connective tissue without damaging the skin surface.
Ultherapy is a single-session treatment. After one session, skin tightening occurs due to collagen stimulation, and collagen production is activated. One of the greatest advantages of this method is its effectiveness in just one session.
The duration of Ultherapy varies depending on the treatment area and generally lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. Focused ultrasound skin rejuvenation is a practical procedure in which the ultrasound applicator is placed in contact with the patient’s skin, allowing even the deepest skin layers to be visualized on the screen.
Although Ultherapy does not provide results as dramatic as aesthetic surgery, it is an effective method for tightening, rejuvenating, and restoring loose and sagging tissues.
Ultherapy can successfully treat skin laxity in the cheeks, chin, neck, jowls, forehead, eyebrow area, eyelids, and décolleté. After treatment, there is no risk of burning or pigmentation; mild redness may occur for a few hours.
Since the treatment targets the deeper layers of the skin rather than the surface, the upper skin layer remains undamaged. For this reason, sun exposure does not pose a risk after treatment, and Ultherapy can be safely performed in all seasons.
