Lift, tighten, and firm without surgery

Ultherapy® is a nonsurgical face and neck treatment that is FDA-cleared to use the energy of ultrasound to stimulate the structural support layers of the skin, without disturbing the surface of the skin. If you are dissatisfied with the appearance of your aging, sagging skin on your neck, chin, brow, or décolletage area, but don’t want the risks or have the budget or recovery time required for a facelift or necklift, Ultherapy in The Woodlands at Medical Aesthetics & Laser could be the perfect treatment!

Also called the “nonsurgical facelift,” Ultherapy works best to treat early signs of aging like loss of elasticity and volume, wrinkles, and fine lines. This treatment is non-invasive, requires virtually no downtime, and offers both immediate and long-term results. When paired with BOTOX® and dermal filler injections, the results of all three treatments can last for years!

How it Works

Ultherapy is the only cosmetic procedure to use focused ultrasound imaging. This revolutionary treatment works as a nonsurgical face lift, brow lift, and neck lift, stimulating the growth of collagen deep within the skin to dramatically improve the appearance of sagging skin on the neck, chin, brow, and décolletage. The ultrasound imaging allows us to see the layers of tissue we are actively treating to ensure the energy is distributed evenly and precisely where we mean to.

You will notice some results immediately after your first Ultherapy treatment in The Woodlands, with results continuing to appear over 2-6 months. The frequency of the ultrasound device bypasses the surface of the skin completely, stimulating collagen growth at exactly the right depths at the right temperature. This is an amazing way to treat wrinkles and fine lines without needles, surgery, or other invasive methods.

FAQs

Who should consider getting Ultherapy?

If your skin is looking and feeling less firm under your neck and chin, or you have lines and wrinkles on your chest or brow, and your skin still has some of its own laxity, you may have amazing results with Ultherapy. Alternatively, if you have excessive loose skin and/or sun damage, you should consider alternative treatments.

How many Ultherapy treatments will I need?

Most of our patients find that they are happy with the results of just one Ultherapy treatment in The Woodlands. Depending on how much skin laxity you have and your body’s biological response to the ultrasound, we may recommend more than one treatment to achieve the desired results.

When will I see results of Ultherapy? How long do they last?

Results are typically first seen 2-3 months after the treatment. This can vary depending on your body’s own collagen production. Results can commonly be seen for 1-2 years, again depending on your body’s collagen production and aging process. We recommend touch-up treatments to ensure results are sustained.

How is Ultherapy different from BBL or laser treatments?

Ultherapy stimulates collagen production at the base of the skin’s foundation using sound energy, which has unique properties that allow it to bypass skin’s surface to treat deeper into the skin than either broadband light (BBL) or lasers can go. Lasers rely on light energy that cannot treat deep into skin’s layers. Additionally, laser and BBL treatments are not FDA-cleared to lift skin.

How much does Ultherapy cost?

What does collagen do? How does Ultherapy stimulate collagen production?

Collagen is a natural protein that gives skin its youthfulness by keeping it firm and toned. As we age, collagen breaks down, and the result is a loss of skin strength and elasticity. Ultherapy uses hyper-focused ultrasound technology to generate a thermal effect under the skin. The thermal effect essentially jump-starts your body’s own process that produces fresh collagen.

Is Ultherapy a good alternative to a facelift or neck lift?

Ultherapy will not produce the same results as surgery. Remember, Ultherapy is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment, so while you will definitely have a great outcome, it won’t be as dramatic as a facelift or neck lift. Therefore, we recommend Ultherapy in The Woodlands to clients with mild-to-moderate skin laxity.

Does Ultherapy hurt?

While comfort thresholds vary from client to client, most clients report that the procedure is quite tolerable. If any discomfort occurs, it happens while the ultrasound energy is being delivered. This sensation is temporary and is a positive signal that the collagen-building process has been initiated.

Our caring staff takes measures to make your experience as pleasant as possible.

Are there any side effects?

We consider Ultherapy in The Woodlands to be a very low-risk treatment. Immediately after your Ultherapy session, you may experience slight redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area for up to an hour. We have observed no long-term negative side effects of Ultherapy treatments with our clients.

Does Ultherapy use the same ultrasound as OB/GYNs?

Ultherapy uses two different ultrasound waves. The first uses parallel waves, which is the same as the ultrasound equipment used in an OB/GYN’s office. These ultrasound emissions bounce back and allow the practitioner to ‘see’ through the skin tissues. With Ultherapy in The Woodlands at Medical Aesthetics & Laser, emitting these waves ensures we can identify and target skin tissues in the right area, and at the correct depth (rather than blood vessels or bone). Once your Ultherapy specialist reaches the correct area and depth, the Ultherapy machine then delivers another type of ultrasound waves, but these waves cross at very precise depths. This crossing of the ultrasound waves creates heat, and it is this heat energy that stimulates fibroblasts to create new, healthy collagen and elastin.
