Ultherapy® is a cosmetic procedure that combats signs of aging by gently lifting and tightening the skin. Using ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production, this treatment is the non-surgical answer to a more youthful contour where it counts.
What is
Ultherapy Skin Tightening
?
How does it work?
Ultherapy® uses focused ultrasound energy to target the foundational layers of your skin, energizing its deeper tissues. Your body responds by stimulating new collagen production and elastic tissue. Your skin begins to lift and tighten naturally as collagen regenerates over time, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
1. Consultation
Schedule a consultation with our experienced medical professionals to discuss your goals and assess your suitability for this treatment.
2. Avoid Sun Exposure
Avoid direct sun exposure to the treatment area and any form of tanning for one week before your session to maintain your skin’s integrity.
3. Stay Hydrated
Prioritize hydration in the days leading up to your treatment to ensure your skin is in optimal condition.
2. Avoid Blood Thinners
If possible, please avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen, and fish oil, for one week prior to your treatment. Our team will carefully review your prescription medications prior to your treatment.
Post-Treatment Care
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water to support your skin's natural healing process.
Avoid Strenuous Activity
Avoid vigorous exercise and high-heat environments for the first 24 hours after your procedure to let your skin settle.
