The key advantage of this technology lies in its ability to reach deep dermal and subdermal layers without disrupting the skin's surface, offering patients a safe, effective, and non-surgical alternative for lifting and tightening the skin of the face, neck, and décolletage.

How Ultherapy Technology Works

Ultherapy employs micro-focused ultrasound (MFU) waves that penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating the body's natural regenerative processes by triggering collagen production at multiple layers. The technology allows precise targeting of tissues at varying depths (1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm), mimicking the effects of a surgical facelift without the invasiveness.

Ultrasound Imaging

Ultherapy is unique in its use of real-time ultrasound imaging, enabling practitioners to visualize the underlying tissue layers they are treating, ensuring precise energy delivery to the areas where it is most needed.

Focused Ultrasound Energy

Ultherapy generates thermal coagulation points within the deeper layers of the skin, specifically at the SMAS, without affecting the surface layers (epidermis). This controlled micro-injury induces the production of new collagen and elastin, resulting in a gradual lifting and tightening effect over time.

Key Features of Ultherapy Technology

• Micro-Focused Ultrasound (MFU) Energy
Ultherapy's advanced micro-focused ultrasound energy is capable of reaching specific depths under the skin—targeting deeper layers like the SMAS, which is typically tightened during a surgical facelift. The energy causes thermal coagulation, promoting a natural healing response that leads to collagen remodeling and tissue regeneration.
