How is Ultherapy performed?
During the procedure, we will clean the target area with an antiseptic solution. Once the area is dry, we will apply a special gel. We will then place a device over the target area to deliver ultrasound energy. Depending on the size of the body area, the treatment can take 30 to 60 minutes.
Is the treatment painful?
There is some mild discomfort when the ultrasound energy is being delivered to your skin. Most patients report that the discomfort associated with the treatment is tolerable. If you have a low pain threshold, we will apply a numbing cream to your skin to prevent any discomfort.
Long-lasting results with Ultherapy
The results of the treatment can be noticeable after 2 to 3 months. With proper skincare, the results can last for several years. You should keep in mind that this may vary from patient to patient. This will depend on several factors such as how you care for your skin and your skin type.

The cost of your treatment can also change if you have insurance. Talk to your insurer to determine if they will cover the cost of your procedure.

THE ULTHERAPY TREATMENT PROCESS
Targets areas of skin imperfection with focused ultrasound energy
Stimulates collagen production
Achieves smoother, tighter, and vibrant skin in 2-3 months
During the procedure, pulsing ultrasound waves are delivered to the target area. Your surgeon will adjust the depth of the ultrasound waves to meet your desired results. Your body then reacts and produces inflammation. This process replaces the damaged skin cells with new, healthy cells. It also stimulates the production of a protein called collagen. This protein helps rebuild your skin’s structure so that it will appear firmer. For excessive sweating, the treatment removes overactive sweat glands.
