What Is Ultherapy™?

Ultherapy™ is a revolutionary non-surgical procedure that uses ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the skin. This treatment is the only FDA-cleared, energy-based device that has been approved for non-invasive lifting of the skin and underlying tissue. Ultherapy™ is ideal for those who wish to improve skin laxity on the brow, face, and neck without the need for invasive surgery. Dr. Paul Leong is proud to offer Ultherapy™ at Leong Facial Plastic Surgery in New York City, making this advanced treatment available to patients who want to look rejuvenated with minimal downtime.

How Does Ultherapy™ Work?

Ultherapy™ harnesses the power of focused ultrasound energy to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin deep within the skin. Here's how it works:

Ultrasound Imaging: The treatment starts with the use of ultrasound imaging to see the layers of tissue beneath the skin, allowing for precise targeting of the treatment area.
Collagen Stimulation: The ultrasound energy is then delivered to the deeper layers of the skin, triggering the body’s natural collagen-building process. This results in firmer, smoother, and tighter skin over time.

Unlike other treatments, Ultherapy™ works from the inside out, encouraging natural rejuvenation of the skin without disrupting the surface. This process gradually tightens the skin and provides natural-looking results.

What Are the Benefits of Ultherapy™?

Ultherapy™ offers several benefits for those seeking a non-surgical way to lift and tighten their skin:

Non-invasive: No surgery, no incisions—just ultrasound energy that tightens and lifts.
Visible Results: Many patients see an immediate improvement, with continued tightening over the course of 2-3 months.
No Downtime: Ultherapy™ is a “lunchtime procedure,” allowing you to return to normal activities right away.
Precise and Targeted Treatment: The use of ultrasound imaging ensures precision in targeting the deeper layers of tissue for effective results.
Long-lasting: Results typically last 12-18 months, with some patients seeing benefits for up to 3 years.

What to Expect During an Ultherapy™ Treatment

An Ultherapy™ session typically takes between 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the treatment:

Consultation: During your consultation, Dr. Leong will assess your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine the best treatment plan.
Treatment: A topical numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area for comfort. Then, the Ultherapy™ device will be used to deliver ultrasound energy to targeted areas of your face, brow, or neck.
Post-Treatment: There is no downtime associated with Ultherapy™. Some patients may experience slight redness or swelling immediately after the procedure, but this typically resolves within a few hours. Most patients can return to their usual activities without interruption.

How Long Does Ultherapy™ Take?

The time it takes to complete an Ultherapy™ treatment depends on the area being treated:

Full Face and Neck: About 1 hour
Brow Area: About 30 minutes
Cheeks or Under Eye Areas: About 30 minutes to 1 hour

Ultherapy™ is a quick, convenient procedure, perfect for those with busy schedules. Many patients schedule their treatment during their lunch break and go back to work immediately afterward.

Is Ultherapy™ Painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. While Ultherapy™ does not require anesthesia, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort during the treatment. The sensation may feel like mild heat or tingling, especially when the ultrasound energy is delivered to deeper layers of the skin.

If any discomfort is felt, it is typically temporary and dissipates quickly. For those who are more sensitive, pain medications can be administered to ensure comfort throughout the session.

Ultherapy™ Results and Expectations

The results of Ultherapy™ are gradual. While many patients see immediate tightening, the full effects develop over 2-3 months as collagen production increases. The treatment encourages the skin to tighten and lift naturally, with the best results appearing over time.

How Long Do the Results Last?

Ultherapy™ results can last 12-18 months, but the exact duration depends on your skin type, age, and lifestyle. In some cases, results may last up to 3 years. For patients seeking longer-lasting effects, additional treatments can be performed as necessary.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Ultherapy™?

Ultherapy™ is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, brow, or neck. It is a great option for patients who:

Want to lift and tighten their skin without surgery.
Are looking for a treatment to maintain or enhance the results of previous surgical procedures.
Are experiencing early signs of aging, such as sagging around the jawline or brow.

While Ultherapy™ is not a replacement for a facelift, it is an excellent option for those looking to delay or complement surgical procedures. Dr. Leong will discuss the best treatment options for you during your consultation.

Ultherapy™ FAQ

What makes Ultherapy™ different from other lifting treatments?

Can Ultherapy™ replace a facelift?

Ultherapy™ is not meant to replace a facelift, but it can provide a non-surgical alternative for those with mild to moderate skin laxity. For patients with significant sagging, Dr. Leong may recommend a facelift for more dramatic results.
