Typically, the ideal candidate for Ultherapy has mild to moderate skin laxity. Many of these patients have lowered eyebrows, loose skin on the neck, sagging skin under the chin, and lines or wrinkles on the chest. If you want to find out if you’re a candidate for Ultherapy, contact Renew MediSpa for a consultation.

Using ultrasound imaging, Ultherapy delivers ultrasound energy deep underneath the skin—all the way to the layer of connective tissue under the skin called the SMAS. That heat energy then triggers the body’s healing response, resulting in the increased production of collagen—a natural process called neocollagenesis. The skin becomes firmer and tighter, and over time the surface of the skin and the deeper layers begin to smooth and lift. Ultherapy doesn’t use any fillers or foreign substances—it just uses your body’s own natural collagen-building mechanisms to lift and tighten the skin.

Ultherapy will address the deeper layers of skin, but it won’t create the same results as a facelift. However, Ultherapy is a great option for patients that want to lift without significant downtime, patients that aren’t ready for surgery, or patients who want to maintain their cosmetic surgery results.

Ultherapy isn’t a laser treatment; it uses sound energy that goes through the surface of the skin to deliver heat deep into the tissues. Ultherapy goes deeper than any other cosmetic device; laser systems’ lasers can’t reach deep enough at optimal temperatures, so they usually only treat skin superficially. Laser systems and Ultherapy are so different that they can actually be used together.

With Ultherapy patients can return to work or their daily activities almost immediately.

As Ultherapy delivers ultrasound energy deep into the skin, patients may feel a warm stinging sensation. Ultherapy typically does not involve any topical or local anesthetic before use. Ultherapy will feel different from person to person, and some areas might feel more sensitive than others.

You might see some immediate improvement after your treatment, but the final results typically energy after 2-3 months as your body gradually rebuilds its collagen stores. Your results will last however long your collagen lasts, which varies depending on age, genetics, and lifestyle. Remember, we have not stopped the aging process, we have simply put back some of what you have lost. You should expect to have maintenance procedures at some point in the future, though it may not be for a year or more.

Most of our patients see significant improvement after one treatment, but some factors like the degree of skin laxity, the skin’s response to the ultrasound energy, the body’s rate of collagen production, and more can affect how many treatments a patient might need.

Ultherapy is cleared by the FDA, and it’s been used safely in over 350,000 treatments worldwide. Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy, which has been safely used in the medical field for more than 50 years. In addition, every Ultherapy practitioner at Renew MediSpa has extensive training with the device.

The cost of Ultherapy can range depending on where you’re being treated and the individual practice performing the procedure. Ultherapy treatments are personalized, so to get an accurate quote you should speak to Renew MediSpa.
