Rejuvenate Tired, Aging Skin with Ultherapy by Ulthera

Boston Cosmetic Specialists is excited to offer Ultherapy by Ulthera. Ultherapy is the only FDA-approved procedure that lifts and tightens aging skin in the hard-to-treat areas. Ultherapy is a new type of non-invasive and non-surgical procedure that uses ultrasonic technology to stimulate the body’s own natural healing process to tone, tighten and “lift” sagging skin. Utherapy is a revolutionary face and neck and brow treatment that is in a class all its own. Though lasers, BOTOX, and cosmetic surgery are still valuable options, Ultherapy offers unique, non-invasive tissue lifting in just one treatment with no downtown time.

Ultherapy uses the time-tested and safe ultrasound technology to target and stimulate the deep structural layers of the skin typically addressed in a traditional facelift, without any cutting or surgery. With Ultherapy, there’s no downtime, no invasive surgery, no foreign substances; just a healthy reviving from the inside-out to reveal, younger, fresher, firmer looking skin that is noticeably more youthful on the outside.

Reversing the effects of time and gravity, Ultherapy lifts, tones, and tightens loose facial and neck skin. Once the brows begin to droop, the eyes begin to look small and tired. Ultherapy lifts the forehead, opens the eyes and creates a more refreshed, alert appearance. When the cheeks and neck begin to sag, it can change in the entire contour of the face. Ultherapy tightens and lifts loose neck and jowel skin,creating a younger, sleeker look.

Unlike any other treatment, Ultherapy directs sound waves deep beneath the skin to the same tissue that surgery addresses. Ultherapy does not disrupt the skin surface and, instead, gently heats the deep tissue, lifting and tightening for a more youthful look. Ultherapy is a beautifully simple procedure, taking only 30 to 60 minutes to activate the body’s natural healing process in a way that gradually and reliably restores youthfulness to the skin and deep tissue. Over the next 2-3 months, stronger collagen regeneration is stimulated, giving patients the ultimate skin rejuvenation.

Though it is not a replacement for cosmetic surgery, Ultherapy offers meaningful improvement for lax skin with no downtime.

The Ultherapy procedure is performed in the office and only takes 60 to 90 minutes to complete; you can go about your daily activities immediately afterwards.

It’s very similar to building muscle with exercise only without multiple workouts! While Ultherapy does not duplicate the effects of surgery, it has proven to lift and tighten the skin on the brown, chin, neck and jawline and is an inviting alternative to those who are not ready for surgery.

With Ultherapy, a smooth hand piece is placed on the skin and an image of the underlying tissue is projected on a screen in order to allow the practitioner to “see” where they are to treat the skin. That hand piece is used to precisely deliver focused ultrasound energy, targeting the foundational layer, the same layer that is typically addressed in a surgical facelift. The body’s natural response is to recondition tired skin by stimulating the growth of fresh, new collagen. In effect, the result is a tightening and gradual lifting of the skin back to a more youthful and form-fitting shape.To learn more about Ultherapy and if its right for you, please review the frequently asked questions and answers.

Reverse the Signs of Gravity on Your Terms

Ultherapy uses ultrasonic energy to precisely target the deep, structural skin tissues where collagen is located. It works from the inside-out to lift and tighten skin by stimulating new collagen production over the course of 2 to 3 months but many patients have seen improvement for up to six months. The result is a natural tightening and gradual lifting of the skin back to a more youthful and form-fitting shape.

Collagen is a natural protein that is responsible for giving skin its youthful appearance by keeping the skin firm, toned and elastic. As skin ages, collagen loses elasticity and its ability to fight the effects of gravity that pulls skin downward. Ultherapy jump starts the body’s natural repair process and stimulates the skin to create fresh, new collagen without the need for cutting or surgically-invasive procedures.

While lasers address the superficial lawyers of the skin such as fine lines and wrinkles, Ultherapy addresses the deep skin lawyer and the foundational layer that is responsible for lifting and supporting the skin. Therefore, laser technology and Ultherapy actually complement one another. Ultherapy is an excellent alternative for those who are not ready for invasive surgical procedures.
