Skin tightening with Ultherapy®:

The classic treatment for wrinkles and sagging skin usually involves injections or surgery. Ultherapy® breaks new ground, as it is a non-invasive treatment method that works with focused ultrasound waves.

Targeted heat stimulation stimulates the body’s natural healing process to form new elastin and collagen fibers. As a result, not only does the connective tissue tighten, but the sagging skin area also firms up and wrinkles are improved. However, the natural expression is always preserved. This is one of the great advantages of this ultrasound treatment. In addition, there is no downtime after the treatment, as is the case with surgical lifting. Patients may return to their everyday life immediately afterwards.

The highly focused Ultherapy treatment takes very little time, with patients needing to allow between 30 and 90 minutes. The actual duration of the treatment always depends on the size of the area being treated. Anesthesia is not necessary. The pain is comparable to that of laser treatment.

The treatment is performed on an outpatient basis, which means that patients may return to their daily routine directly afterwards. The treated skin area may still be slightly reddened, but there is usually little swelling or bruising.

The success of Ultherapy® builds up gradually in the weeks and months following treatment. The skin surface and underlying connective tissue become firmer because the natural process has formed new elastic fibers of collagen and elastin, which rearrange themselves to become tighter and more parallel (known as collagen remodeling). The results can continue to improve for more than six months after treatment, and this long-term effect speaks for the new method.

Ultherapy is ideal for tightening the facial contours. This applies to the jawline, cheeks, forehead, and temples, as well as the neck and neckline.
