Ultherapy – Ultrasonic lift

Ultherapy is a cutting-edge ultrasonic lifting technique. Ultrasonic energy is targeted to a small area to reach subcutaneous depths that in the past could only be treated by surgical means.

Problem areas are therefore targeted with pinpoint precision, without damaging the skin surface or surrounding tissue. Ultrasonic waves cause short-term, localised heating of tissue thereby inducing the contraction of collagen fibres and stimulating the production of new elastic fibres in the connective tissue. Ultherapy reduces the signs of ageing by regenerating and tightening the skin without the need of needles or surgery.

How it works

The ultrasound imaging device is applied to the skin and connected to a display. This allows the practitioner to identify the target areas and deliver the ultrasound energy with absolute accuracy.

Benefits

Ultherapy is gentle, safe and pain-free. Sessions last 30 to 90 minutes, with no pre- or post-care requirements. Results are visible after just one session. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and can be carried out at any time of year.

Indications

Ultrasonic lifting is a good choice for anyone wishing to tighten the skin of their face or body in a non-invasive way. The best results are usually achieved on the cheeks, chin, neck and décolletage.
