Ultherapy 101: Is it Right for me?You may have heard of Ultherapy, which is a skin treatment that works by stimulating new collagen through sending ultrasound energy through the skin’s foundational layer. You may be interested in this procedure if you want a non-invasive approach to younger looking skin.

Unlike lasers, radio frequency, surgery, and other invasive procedures, non-surgical Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin to deliver the right amount of ultrasound energy at the right depths and the right temperature. This energy triggers a natural response under the skin, jumpstarting the regenerative process that produces fresh, new collagen.

What should you do to prepare for your treatment?

  • Before you do anything, you will want to schedule a one-on-one consultation at Carp Cosmetic Plastic Surgery. You will be able to express your questions, concerns, and other general thoughts in order to assess the proper treatment plan. Together, you will be able to decide if Ulthera is right for you.

What should you expect during your treatment?

  • After cleansing the skin and identifying the specific areas to be treated, the ultrasound gel will be applied and the smooth treatment applicator will be placed against your skin. Next, advanced ultrasound imaging will be used to first see deep within the skin to determine optimal placement of the treatment energy, and then deliver the focused ultrasound energy beneath the skin’s surface. During the treatment delivery, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated.

How to care for your skin post treatment:

  • There is no recovery time after the Ulthera treatment; you can immediately resume your everyday activities. Your skin may appear flushed at first, but it should go away within a few hours. While uncommon, some patients experience slight swelling or tenderness, but this is mild and temporary.
