Ultrasound visualization-employed during planning and energy application-makes Ultherapy   treatment uniquely precise and customizable.

REAL-TIME VISUALIZATION

Ultherapy   is the only FDA-cleared non-invasive skin laxity treatment with ultrasound visualization of dermal and subdermal tissues.

 

Ultherapy treatment begins with real-time visualization, offering practitioners unprecedented insight into dermal and subdermal tissues during all phases of treatment.

 

When combined with energy targeting at depths previously only available via surgery, and at optimal temperature, Ultherapy achieves a level of precision, consistency and customizability befitting the Gold Standard in non-invasive skin laxity treatment.

TEMPERATURE: ACHIEVING OPTIMIZED NEOCOLLAGENESIS

Ultherapy is the only skin-lifting treatment that achieves temperatures of 60-70°C at depth, the optimal temperature range for collagen contraction and denaturation. Without heating the skin’s surface, microfocused ultrasound energy is applied to target tissue layers, causing cellular friction and heating to approximately 65°C, which initiates aggressive neocollagenesis.

ULTHERAPY  TREATS DEEPER THAN LASERS OR RF.

ULTHERAPY TREATS DEEPER THAN RADIO FREQUENCY

Radio frequency (RF) heat tissues “in bulk” using electricity. The majority of this energy is absorbed by the dermis at depths less than 3 mm, and treatment temperatures must remain below 43°C to prevent burning the skin. Factors such as tissue composition and exposure time make precise energy delivery challenging.

ULTHERAPY TREATS DEEPER THAN LASERS

Laser light energy is precise, but typically treats only superficial skin layers. Ultherapy ultrasound offers superior depth and temperature control to stimulate collagen production in the SMAS/platysma. And only Ultherapy is FDA-cleared to lift skin.

The non-invasive Ultherapy® procedure is U.S. FDA-cleared to lift skin on the neck, on the eyebrow and under the chin as well as to improve lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. The most common side effects reported in clinical trials were redness, swelling, pain and transient nerve effects. Reported adverse events from post-marketing surveillance are available in the Instructions for Use (IFU). Please see the IFU for product and safety information, including a full list of these events at Ultherapy.com/IFU.
