How does Ulthera work?

Ulthera is a skin tightening program that uses targeted ultrasound waves to deliver energy deep into different layers of the skin to address sagging skin and restore firmness. The energy can penetrate to the SMAS layer, a structural skin layer involved in facial firmness, without affecting the upper layers of the skin.

When energy is delivered to the skin layers, it generates an optimal level of heat, stimulating the skin's natural regeneration process. This results in increased collagen and elastin production, gradually making the skin firmer, smoother, and more elastic over time. Furthermore, Ulthera features a Real-Time Visualization system, allowing doctors to see skin layer levels during the procedure and precisely position energy delivery to each area. This enables more detailed and accurate skin treatment without surgery and without requiring a long recovery period.
