Ulthera is a medical device used to solve aesthetic problems such as skin tightening and wrinkle reduction in the face and neck area. This device works with HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) technology and acts by penetrating deeply into the tissues under the skin.
Ulthera is the only FDA approved skin tightening device that works with HIFU technology and provides longer lasting results compared to other tightening techniques. By focusing on the subcutaneous tissues, the device creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate new collagen and elastin production in the skin. This process helps to reduce sagging, laxity and wrinkles in the skin.
The Ulthera procedure takes between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the need of the skin and the size of the treated area. During the procedure, the handheld device of the device is placed on the skin and focused ultrasound waves are sent to the targeted tissues under the skin. This procedure is a painless and non-invasive method and usually does not require an anaesthetic.
After the Ulthera procedure, mild redness and swelling may occur in the treated area. These side effects usually disappear within a few hours and the person can resume normal daily activities. The results of the procedure can be seen within the first few months after the procedure and the effects can usually last for several years.
Ulthera is a safe and effective option for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction. This device is used in many countries and is preferred in many medical fields such as dermatology, aesthetic surgery and plastic surgery. However, like any medical intervention, Ulthera carries certain risks and can cause serious damage if not performed correctly. For this reason, it is important to consult with a specialist before treatment and to learn about the treatment option. Ulthera is an effective treatment method to solve aesthetic problems such as skin tightening and wrinkle reduction.
