Main Information

Ultrasonic skin tightening is a non-invasive, non-surgical face and neck treatment, designed to smooth, tone and tighten the skin. An ultrasound hand piece delivers concentrated, focused,  ultrasound energy to the deep foundation layers of skin (the same areas targeted during cosmetic surgery, the SMAS or platysma) without disrupting or damaging the surface of the skin. This concentrated ultrasonic energy penetrates deeper than similarly targeted laser (<1.5mm into superficial dermis) or radiofrequency (<3mm into the dermis) treatments, going just deep enough (up to 4.5mm) to heat the tissues to stimulate the layer of skin that produces collagen.
Collagen is a protein naturally found within skin. After the age of 30, collagen production starts to tail off dramatically; which is why skin starts to lose tone and elasticity. Collagen keeps skin looking elastic, allowing it to “ping” back into place, and without collagen, skin starts to sag slightly. The ultrasound treatment effectively “jump starts” the cell repair process, stimulating the production of fresh collagen; a process called neocollagenesis. This increase in collagen production results in skin that is smoother, tighter and more toned.
The Ultherapy device comes with a variety of ultrasound transducers which can be attached to the machine’s hand piece to deliver the ultrasound energy to different depths (1.5mm, 3mm and 4.5mm) within the skin, depending on the treatment area and tightening required, e.g. lower face, upper face, neck etc. Whilst treating, the practitioner is able to see a visual of the skin layers on a screen, similar to when viewing ultrasound scans for babies.
