Ultherapy for Non-Surgical Tightening
Ageless Aesthetics MediSpa in Santa Fe, NM

What Is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is the only FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment for lifting the skin and reducing lines and wrinkles of the brow, around the eyes, cheek, jowls, around the mouth, neck and decolletage. It uses focused ultrasound technology to tighten the underlying soft tissues known as collagen strands of the face, neck and decolletage and smooth the skin. It involves no surgery, no needles, and no downtime. It can help patients receive a fresher version of themselves from the brow to the chest!

The focused ultrasound energy focuses on the deep tissue of the face and neck without disturbing the overlying skin. As a result, there is no downtime. Patients can leave after Ultherapy and head straight to work or a meeting without anyone knowing they had just received an anti-aging and lifting treatment.

What Is So Great About Ultherapy?

It is non-invasive and effective; focused ultrasound waves activate collagen production immediately and support additional collagen for up to six months and the tissue continues to lift! The results get better and better with time. Collagen is our natural protein that tones and firms skin. As we age, collagen loses its strength. Ultherapy starts a natural process to produce fresh, new collagen that provides support to our skin.

Ultrasound has been used in medicine for more than 50 years and has proven to be safe and effective. With Ultherapy, the ultrasound energy provides a youthful appearance. The ultrasound energy is delivered with precise imaging technology, allowing targeted delivery to optimize results.

Can I Benefit From Ultherapy?

A good candidate is usually someone with mild to moderate skin laxity that desires firmer and lifted skin. At Ageless Aesthetics MediSpa we deliver the full treatment by treating multiple layers of collagen in the dermis ranging from 4.0mm, 3.5mm and 1.5 mm depths. No cutting corners here, that's why our patients are so happy with their treatments and commonly refer their family and friends for our Ultherapy. It is a great option for those seeking non-surgical options. It is also ideal for those who want to maintain a youthful appearance and be proactive with managing the natural aging process.

Ultherapy vs. Laser Skin Treatments

These two technologies use different types of energy that treat different depths of tissue. They can often be used in combination to optimize a youthful appearance by treating both the deep and superficial layers of our face, neck and decolletage. Ultherapy targets the tissue under the skin. The ultrasound technology, along with advanced visualization technology, provided precise delivery of the ultrasound energy to the deep tissues where collagen is stimulated. Lasers, on the other hand, use light energy and cannot penetrate the deep tissues. For example, RF Microneedling can also be used to tighten and thicken the skin but only at the upper layer. Only Ultherapy provides deep lifting.

Can Ultherapy Replace A Facelift?

Ultherapy does not replace surgical correction of facial aging. However, Ultherapy does stimulate your natural collagen production and tightens the tissue from brow to decolletage with no downtime. It is a great option for those wanting a fresher look without surgery and downtine. The results of Ultherapy are less aggressive and more subtle than surgical correction. Ultherapy is also a nice option for patients after a facelift to maintain their youthful appearance.

How Long Do Results Last?

Patients treated with Ultherapy will experience new collagen production for two to three months. Since the procedure stimulates your collagen, the longevity of results depends on you. Patients may want additional treatment three to five years later to facilitate the natural production of their collagen, which is essential to maintaining a youthful appearance.

Is Treatment Comfortable?

The sensation of ultrasound energy is temporary and quite tolerable. We have additional measures to optimize the patient's experience, such as numbing cream and ProNox which is nitrous oxide, aka laughing gas.
