What is Ulthera?

Ulthera is an FDA-approved aesthetic procedure that uses ultrasound energy to treat lax and sagging skin in areas such as the face, neck, and chest. During the procedure, sound waves are used to heat and stimulate the deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and ultimately leading to increased skin tightness and reduced wrinkles.

Explore the Procedure Details of Ulthera

The Ulthera procedure begins with cleansing and the application of a numbing cream to the treatment area. The numbing cream will remain in place for approximately 45-60 minutes before it is removed, and the treatment can begin. During the treatment, a device is used to deliver ultrasound waves to the targeted area. The energy delivered is controlled, precise, and targeted to different layers of the skin.

Recovery

During recovery, it is common to experience some redness and swelling, especially in the treatment area. To reduce the discomfort of swelling, use cold compresses, as this will help reduce any tenderness. If your treatment area is particularly sensitive, you may find some slight bruising and soreness. This should disappear in a few days.

After your Ulthera procedure, make sure you drink plenty of water and eat nutrient-rich foods that are good for your skin. If the skin around the treated area feels dry, apply a moisturizer. However, it is best to avoid sun exposure, steam baths, saunas, and other treatments until you are fully healed. Overall, the recovery time after Ulthera treatment is minimal. If at any point you experience any unusual side effects or feel any pain, contact our office immediately.
