Unlike laser, which penetrates the skin externally, Ultherapy does not touch the surface of the skin, specifically targeting the deeper dermal layers, where collagen resides. Applying ultrasound technology, it works from the inside out to lift and tighten the skin without causing injury.
New application of ultrasound
Ultherapy uses the energy of the ultrasound commonly used in radiology and physical therapy. These sound waves generate heat, contracting and lifting the skin tissue without altering its surface.
Its modern and innovative intense multifocal ultrasound technologywas created as a non–invasive alternativefor tissue tightening.
Unlike laser , which penetrates the skin externally, Ultherapy does not touch the dermal surface, but specifically targets the deeper layers of the skin, where collagen resides.
Applying ultrasound technology,Ultherapy works from the inside out to lift and tighten skin without injury. Focused ultrasound.energy that is deposited in a line in the different layers of the dermis without affecting the epidermis. Its multifocalize heat mechanism heats the tissues to an optimal temperature of between 65 ° and 70 ° C for a certain period of time, thus inducing a highly precise coagulative necrosis thanks to the visual ultrasound system that allows localization of heat from 1 mm (epidermis) to 4.5 mm (superficial muscular system of the face and neck)

How is it done?
The device works by means of a focused ultrasound system that applies hundreds of small thermal coagulation points in the basal layer of the epidermis (the deepest), to achieve the retraction and tightening of the skin of the face and neck, and to initiate the natural process of neocolagenesis (formation of new collagen in the skin itself). The ultrasound control allows visualizing the layer of skin treated at all times, determining the appropriate depth of shot and verifying the correct contact of the applicator head on the skin.
As it is a non-invasive treatment, the action procedure is effective and fast. It is performed in a single session , which usually lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, after which the patient can immediately lead a normal life , without the need for hospitalization.
