Frequently asked questions
Is Ultherapy® safe?
Ultherapy is a proven treatment with a well-established safety profile. It is currently marked worldwide in more than 75 countries, with over 1.5 million treatments performed globally to date. In addition, ultrasound energy has a proven track record, with use in the field of medicine for more than 50 years.
How is Ultherapy® different from other cosmetic procedures?
Ultherapy® is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses time-tested ultrasound technology to stimulate the formation of new collagen deep below the skin’s surface. The procedure takes about 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area treated, and there is no downtime afterward. It also is the only procedure to use ultrasound imaging, which allows practitioners to actually see the layers of tissue targeted during the treatment and ensure the energy is deposited precisely to where it will be most beneficial.
Will I need to take time off?
With Ultherapy®, there is no downtime. After your procedure, you can resume your normal activities immediately.
How long does it last?
Since the procedure stimulates a person’s own collagen production, how long the results last depends on the individual. While results appear over two to three months, results may improve over the following three to six months, and can last up to a year or more. The treatment produces new collagen on the inside, but the individuals’ natural aging process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the outside. Future touch-up treatment can help provide more control over the aging process, which varies by individuals.
What does the ultherapy® treatment feel like?
As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, stimulating the collagen-building process. Comfort levels vary from person to person, but the sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is being delivered.
