Ultherapy NYC

Clinical research suggests that Ultherapy utilizes the body’s natural rejuvenation mechanisms to aid in lifting and toning sagging or loose skin, by delivering focused ultrasound energy to deep tissues below the skin’s surface. In theory, the ultrasound energy stimulates the body to produce collagen, the protein responsible for lifting and toning skin. Once collagen production is stimulated, skin may begin to gradually tighten over a span of several months.*

What is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is the only non-invasive treatment cleared by the FDA for lifting loose or sagging skin on the chin, neck, and brow. Developed by Ulthera, Ultherapy is hailed as the non-surgical alternative to a facelift. According to one clinical study, Ultherapy improves skin from the inside out using focused ultrasonic energy to help lift and tighten skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the décolletage (or low neck line area,) and help stimulate the restoration and regeneration of collagen.*

Typically, treatments take 30 minutes per area, and require no down time for recovery, making it the ideal lunch time procedure. Many patients report visible lifting and tightening immediately following their first treatment, but Ultherapy continues to lift and tighten loose skin gradually, with full effects resulting in 2 to 3 months.²*

How long do Ultherapy results last?

The longevity of Ultherapy results are different for each person. Typically, patients enjoy rejuvenated collagen and skin tightening for a year after treatment.³

How many Ultherapy treatments are needed?

Many patients are satisfied with the skin tightening results achieved with a single treatment. Some patients may desire additional treatments to address advanced skin laxity or sagging skin. New collagen stimulated by Ultherapy usually lasts for 12 months, so most patients opt for annual touch ups to maintain the dramatic skin tightening.³*

How Often Can I Get Ultherapy Treatments?

The best way to determine if you would benefit from additional treatments with Ultherapy is to schedule a free consultation with SKINNEY Medspa, but typically, Ultherapy can be performed every 6 months to 12 months.

As with any cosmetic procedure, results vary per individual, however, in a clinical study, the majority of participants reported seeing some skin lifting and toning and moderate reduction in the appearance of fine lines within the first week of Ultherapy. Within 1 month of treatment the majority of participants reported to continue to see skin lifting and toning. They also noted skin also starts to feel tighter and smoother. Between 3-6 months following treatment, the majority of participants continued to see lifting and toning effects as well as elevated brow lines, less skin sagging, smoother skin texture and more even skin tone.*

What is Ultherapy treatment like?

During your treatment at SKINNEY Medspa, every effort is made to ensure your experience is as pleasant as possible. Once you are seated comfortably, your skincare specialist will mark the treatment area. Ultrasound gel is then applied. Using a hand piece, your specialist will deposit ultrasonic energy below your skin surface.

What are typical Ultherapy side effects?

Experiences vary, but the vast majority of SKINNEY Medspa clients, similar to participants in a clinical trial, experience no side effects associated with their treatment. However side effects including redness or flushing, mild swelling, or small areas of bruising or numbness are rare and temporary.³*

When will I begin to see Ultherapy results?

Results vary, but many patients see skin tightening results after their first treatment, but usually the majority of skin tightening and skin lifting effects develop gradually over the period of 2 to 3 months. Some patients continue to see improvement in skin laxity for 6 months following treatment.³*

Ultherapy is the only non-invasive treatment cleared by the FDA for lifting the skin on the chin, brow, and neck. It is also the only FDA cleared non-invasive treatment for improving wrinkles and fine lines of the décolletage, or lower neckline area.*

Unlike other skin tightening treatments such as Thermage or Venus Freeze, that use radio frequency, lasers, or surgical incisions, Ultherapy uses ultrasonic energy to bypass the skin’s surface, to heat deep tissue layers of the skin for optimal collagen production.

Also, unlike other skin tightening procedures, Ultherapy provides ultrasound imaging, allowing Ultherapy NYC practitioners to see the deep tissues of the treatment area, enhancing the precision, effectiveness and safety of the procedure.

Can Ultherapy Be Used in Conjunction with Botox?

Yes. In fact, Ultherapy works very well with other non-invasive cosmetic treatments that are used to diminish the signs of aging such as Botox, Thermage, and dermal fillers.

Ultherapy can be used to improve the appearance of loose and wrinkled skin under the eye over the orbital bone. Many patients use Ultherapy in conjunction with Laser resurfacing or Theramge which can work closer to the eyelid.

Ultherapy vs. Face Lift surgery

Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment that improves moderate skin laxity. A face lift is intended for severe skin laxity. During a facelift a surgeon may implant or re-position fat pads and/or cut out excess skin, resulting in “short scars” on the temple. Facelifts require anesthesia, operating rooms, and lengthy recovery times.

Is Ultherapy an Alternative for Eyelid Surgery or blepharoplasty?

According to a study published in the journal of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Ultherapy is an effective non-surgical treatment for reducing the appearance of aging around the eyes, brow, and eyelids. Ultherapy can lift the brow, which opens the eyes, smooth the skin of the lower eyelid, reduce upper eyelid sagging, and smooth out the lines and wrinkles around the eyes, known as crow’s feet.*

Ultherapy v Blepharoplasty or Eyelid Surgery

Ultherapy can help tighten the area under the eye, above the bone. When used in conjunction with other non-invasive treatments such as Thermage, Laser skin resurfacing, Botox, and Dermal Fillers, Ultherapy can add significant improvement to the areas around the eyes, helping a person look younger and more energized.

Blepharoplasty is an eyelid surgery that removes sagging skin around the eye. Blepharoplasty is more invasive than Ultherapy or Thermage. It is ideal for men and women suffering from severe skin laxity around the eyes.

Collagen is the protein responsible for keeping skin tight, elastic, and toned. When we get older, the collagen in our skin begins to break down and our body becomes less effective at producing new collagen. This results in skin becoming less flexible and less able to bounce back. The structure of the skin also weakens, becoming less resistant to gravity’s pull.

The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for Ultherapy is to schedule a free consultation with your local Ultherapy NYC provider. Typically, this treatment is ideal for men and women in their 30’s and older who have mild to moderate skin laxity manifested in lowered brow lines, sagging or loose skin around the jaw or neck, and wrinkles or fine lines on the chest.*

Ultherapy is also popular among younger adults in their 20’s who want to delay the onset of skin laxity.*
