ULTHERAPY. NON-SURGICAL FACE & NECK LIFT
We are proudly the first and only certified ultherapy clinic in the area, with more than 600 procedures performed in 6 years! Find our certification clicking HERE.
WHAT IS ULTHERAPY?
Ultherapy is a safe, effective anti-aging treatment currently available in 75 countries. With over 2 million treatments performed globally since its birth, this non-invasive procedure is recommended to do a lifting and rejuvenation of the brows, eyes, mouth, cheeks and neck; it is also used to do a skin tightening of the face, neck and chest.
This non invasive microfocused ultrasound is guided by real time imaging ultrasound to offer high precision and results.
The ultrasound energy is sent down to target areas of the face, neck or decolletage to produce a microdamage and make the body repair itself producing new collagen and elastin in the right layers to have a lifting and tightening.
Ultherapy is ideal for patients who want to improve sagging, double chin and for those who just want to prevent premature aging without the downtime and risks associated with injectables or a surgery.
Ultherapy stimulates collagen & elastin production at 3 different layers:
1) SMAS Layer (superficial muscular-aponeurotic system)
A deep layer usually found at around 4.5mm deep that is in charge of keeping all the structures in place and when it gets weak, the facial structures start to drop. In fact, when a surgeon performs a surgical facelift, he actually lifts this area to get the surgical result.
*This treatment does not substitute a surgical lifting, but can be a very good alternative to patients who cannot have a surgical facelift*
2) Subcutaneous Fat Layer
The fat under the skin connects the SMAS with the skin and has several ligaments that keeps the skin in place, as we age, the ligaments get weak and aging signs begin to appear such as volume lose and irregular surface.
3) Deep Dermis Layer
With aging, this layer becomes thin and weak, with an important reduction of the firmness and elasticity, ultherapy targets this layer to produce an important amount of new collagen to rejuvenate it.
BEFORE YOUR ULTHERAPY
Before your treatment, you’ll meet with Dr. Walters for a consultation and assessment to discuss your treatment goals to determine if you’re a good candidate. Because Ultherapy treatment is safe and comfortable, there’s no need to make any changes to your skincare or other routines before treatment.
THE TREATMENT
On the day of the procedure, our registered nurse and certified ultherapist will cleanse and numb the skin in the areas to be treated. Then, she will apply ultrasound gel and apply the Ultherapy hand tool to the skin.
She’ll pull up the ultrasound images to find the best areas to ensure the ultimate results of treatment. Then, energy will be placed on the skin where it penetrates beneath the surface deep into the skin’s layers to stimulate collagen and elastin production. You may feel warmth or tingling during energy application. Treatment time varies based on the area being treated, but most procedures take between 2-3 hours.
TREATMENT PROTOCOLS
Ulthera Booster
The ulthera booster will only target the skin layer, this means it will only stimulate collagen at the top layer to improve the skin quality and skin tightening. Since it doesn't treat the subcutaneous layer and the SMAS, it will not have a lifting effect.
- Time in between sessions: 6 months
BENEFITS:
- Skin Tightening
- Improvement of wrinkles
- Improves the skin quality
- It creates volume in the skin, helping with the atrophy that happens with age.
- Glow effect.
- Skin tone improvement: Due to the collagen production at the deep skin layer.
You can add this booster to other ultherapy protocols to upgrade your results!
Eyebrow Lift
As we age, the forehead muscle that keeps our eyebrows in place lose collagen and strength, this can make our eyebrows to drop and indirectly make our eyelids heavy; ultherapy will stimulate collagen production at the forehead muscle to tighten it and lift the brows and sometimes indirectly improve the upper eyelids.

- Forehead
- Outer and Lower Eyes
BENEFITS:

Decolletage Rejuvenation
The decolletage is an area that is exposed to the sun and environment making it look old, wrinkled and pigmented.
Often with a single treatment, you can see your decolletage revitalized.
BENEFITS:

- Improves skin pigmentation
- Promotes collagen production to get a firmer skin
When is the Best Moment to Start with Ultherapy?

When is the Best Moment to Start with Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is recommended between 30 and 65 year old.
This doesn't mean that you can't do ultherapy after 65, however the cells that produce collagen (and target of this treatment) will take a bit longer to respond to the stimulation process so results may take longer to show.

Can Ultherapy achieve the same results as a surgical facelift?
When is the Best Moment to Start with Ultherapy?

Results & timing will vary between patients; as soon as we finish the treatment you are already producing collagen, however your body needs a certain amount of it for the results to be visible, this usually takes between 2-3 months and gets better around the 6th month.
How long does it last?
How long does it last?
Ultherapy results usually last 10-12 months, we recommend getting the treatment every year because you will not only be correcting aging signs, but will also be delaying premature aging.

Yes, ultherapy is known to be painful without the right pain management; at our clinic we prepare every patient before the ultherapy to be very as comfortable as possible, most of our patients report a pain level of 2 out of 10.
Is it safe?
Ultherapy is the ONLY FDA approved device that can treat layers as deep as a surgery in a non invasive approach, it's ultrasound guidance in real time makes it very precise and safe.
What are the Side Effects?
In most cases, a few, mild side effects may occur immediately after treatment and clear quickly.
- Redness
- Mild swelling
- Skin sensitivity
- Tingling
- Numbness

How is Ultherapy different from other devices?
Ultherapy uses sound energy, which has unique properties that allow it to bypass the surface of the skin without damaging it and treat depths not matched by any other non-invasive cosmetic device.
How often can I have Ultherapy?
Ultherapy lifting is recommended every 9-12 months. The ulthera boost can be done every 6 months.
