Ulthera skin lifting and firming for the face, neck and body with no downtime.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are looking to treat same day, please bring with you 800 mg of Ibuprofen.

We generally recommend one 800 mg dose of ibuprofen one hour before treatment - as this had comparable analgesic effect as that of narcotics in a double-blind controlled study.

Ulthera cannot be received if you have a sunburn. Please stop using topical products containing retinol, RetinA, glycolic acid or salicylic acid for at least one week prior to treatment.

Post treatment: For 2 days post-treatment, avoid partaking in activities that will heat up your skin, such as going in a hot tub/Jacuzzi/sauna, or strenuous exercise.

Skin Care Products: All of your skin care products should be non-irritating and non-clogging for the first week. Please do not use any scrubs, toners, glycolic acid, retinoids (Retin-A or retinol), or bleaching creams (hydroquinone) until your skin has healed.

The Ulthera System uses microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) to lift and tighten the skin through specific mechanisms for collagen coagulation, denaturation and contraction within precise, well-defined lesions.

Ultherapy lifts the skin based on the known physiologic processes of collagen denaturation, wound healing, and neocollagenesis. The creation of these lesions leads to an inflammatory wound-healing response which stimulates long-term tissue remodeling and leads to further lifting and tightening.

Many see an initial lift immediately after an Ultherapy treatment.
