Brow and eyelid enhancement with Ulthera®

If you have too much excess skin, you might need to opt for surgery and have a blepharoplasty or a facelift.

So far, more than 800,000 patients around the world have been treated using the Ulthera® technique.

After taking off the make-up and disinfecting the skin, the doctor will determine which areas need to be treated. The applicator delivering the micro-focussed ultrasound is connected to an ultrasound scanner screen, which allows the practitioner to carry out the procedure in the most effective, safe way possible.

Depending on the area to be treated, the session will last between 30 minutes and 1.5 hours. One session is enough but the doctor may offer a second session six months later to maximise the results.

How Ulthera® works

The ultrasound is focussed on multiple layers of skin at 1.5, 3 and 4.5 millimetres; the depth targeted by surgeons when carrying out a facelift.

The ultrasound spreads perfectly through biological tissue like the skin as it naturally contains a lot of water. Ulthera® uses frequencies between 4 and 10 MHz, which is known as high-frequency ultrasound.

Neck rejuvenation with Ulthera®

The ultrasound heats up the skin to 65 degrees within the dermis and the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS), which causes the denaturation and contraction of the collagen without breaking the epidermis.

You can resume activities immediately. Redness may persist for a few hours and slight swelling for a few days. The skin may also be sensitive to the touch in the few days after the treatment.

The skin gradually becomes firmer as new collagen is synthesised. The definitive results will be apparent three to six months after the Ultherapy session. Results last around 12 to 18 months.
