Learn more about a noninvasive and effective ultrasound treatment for lifting, tightening, and toning skin on the neck, chin, and brow! Find out how Ultherapy, the novel, safe, and FDA-approved treatment, uses sound waves to gradually strengthen and tone the skin from deep within the skin's layers. The lecture will also discuss how Botox and facial fillers can be combined with Ultherapy or used alone to help you turn back the hands of time on your face and neck with no downtime!
3. What is Ultherapy?
is the only FDA-approved
non-invasive procedure to
lift skin on the Neck, Chin
and Brow.
Not surgery.
Not laser.
Not an injection.
4. How does Ultherapy use ultrasound?
Ultherapy uses ultrasound in 2 ways:
1) To see beneath the surface of the skin and plan
2)
a treatment specific to each patient
To safely treat at pre-determined depths while
bypassing the surface of the skin
- Dermis
- Fat
Treatment
Line
- Fibro-muscular
Layer
5. How does Ultherapy work?
Focused ultrasound energy - non-invasive
Bypass the skin and heat deep tissue
•Natural, regenerative response.
•Stimulate the growth of new collagen
•Lifts and tightens the skin over time.
6. How is Ultherapy different from
other treatments?
1. Temperature
2. Depth
3. Precision
7. Options for aging soft tissue / skin
• Do nothing
• Non-Invasive Treatment
• Injections (Botox and Fillers)
• Lasers (Fraxel, etc)
• Ultherapy (Ultrasound)
• Surgery
8. Who is an Ultherapy Candidate?
Factors affecting treatment response include:
Skin Laxity: Amount of excess, loose skin on the
face and neck
Volume: Degree and distribution of fat
Skin Quality: Extent of lines, wrinkles, crepiness,
and/or sun damage
Age: 20-30s, 40-60s, 70s and up
Lifestyle/Health: Smoker or nonsmoker; nature of
health issues (minor, chronic, none)
10. The Benefits of Ultherapy
• Non-surgical, non-invasive
• No downtime
• Proven ultrasound technology
• Natural, gradual results over 3-6 months
• Convenient, 1-2 hour procedure
• No after care or restrictions
• Usually, just one treatment
• Visible and invisible results
37. How long does it last?
•Patients still have fresh young collagen after 1 year
•Skin continues to age
•Yearly touch-up treatments help keep pace
38. Can you guarantee improvement?
•Since it’s not surgery, we depend on the body’s
response to build collagen
•The vast majority of patients see an improvement
•A small minority may see little to no improvement
39. Does it hurt?
•Comfort thresholds vary from patient to patient
•Discomfort means energy is being delivered,
•Sign that collagen-building has been initiated.
40. How much does it cost?
•Between $750 and $4000
•Depends on the extent of treatment.

Lasers target superficiallayers of the skin (e.g. fine lines, wrinkles, pigment changes) but can’t get to the deep skin layers because of the high temperature.Radiofrequency devices can go deeper than lasers, but don’t get as hot as lasers.Ultherapy is the best of both worlds – it addresses the superficial dermis (1.5mm), the deep skin layer (3.0mm) AND the foundational layer addressed in surgery (4.5mm) at a temperature ideal for collagen denaturationUltrasound bypasses the upper layers of the skin to deliver the right amount of energy at the right depths.Ultrasound also allows us to see where the energy will be delivered.
