In a single, one hour treatment, Ultherapy can do so many things for the eyebrow area. Specifically, it’s the ONLY FDA-cleared nonsurgical skin tightening treatment to:

• tighten, firm and lift the brow,
• minimize forehead wrinkles,
• smooth both vertical and horizontal brow lines (11’s and bunny lines),
• restore a youthful contour to sagging and loose skin, 
• reduce hooded eyes caused by a drooping brow, as well as
• achieve a nonsurgical brow lift

An added Ultherapy benefit? All these terrific results are provided safely, subtly, and naturally with no downtime. And they last!

A major cause of skin laxity is collagen depletion, which is due to the natural course of aging. Essentially, in healthy, younger skin, collagen strengthens the criss-cross network deep within the skin, in order to hold the skin in place. As it depletes, this once strong support can no longer do its job effectively. As a result, the skin stops hanging smoothly on the face and starts to sag.

Because Ultherapy, specifically works to replenish collagen at the deepest layers of the skin, it’s the gold standard of non-surgical procedures for the brow, as well as many other areas of the face and body.

Ultherapy aka Ulthera takes advantage of safe, time-tested ultrasound to lift, firm and tighten loose and sagging skin. Specifically, precise amounts of ultrasound energy /waves are micro-targeted at customizable depths, in order to reach the epidermis, deep dermis and SMAS layer deep within the skin. As a result, Ultherapy works to stimulate fibroblasts, as well as promote collagen and elastin production. As collagen and elastin are gradually replenished, clients experience results akin to a nonsurgical eyebrow lift, including brow tightening, increased skin elasticity, as well as a smoothing of forehead wrinkles.

DeepSee ultrasound technology is essentially a monitor that allows the practitioner to see deep within the skin during treatment. This allows for see and treat, real-time, on-screen visualization of the skin being treated. Therefore, as the practitioner moves the hand-held device along the treatment area, she can make adjustments to customize treatment. These targeted adjustments offer an advantage unlike any other treatment. Specifically, they assure precision of both depth and spacing of treatment in relation to :

• How much skin tightening and lifting is needed for the treatment area,
• Whether the client needs a skin lifting benefit or a skin smoothing benefit for the treatment area, and/or
• The specific area being treated. 

Again, it’s all in the ability to create precision and customization during treatment. Because Ultherapy uses proprietary two-way ultrasound technology, it has the unique ability to “see and treat” areas differently. For example, the skin around the eyes is delicate and thin, so it would need to be treated differently than other skin on your face. On the other hand, skin on the jowls is thicker, and would, therefore, require a different treatment setting.

Numerous studies have shown that Ultherapy around the forehead and eyes works. In one of many studies examining the effectiveness of Ultherapy, 86% of subjects were judged by observers to show a clinically significant eyebrow lift just 60 days after treatment.

Only one Ultherapy treatment is typically needed to achieve desired brow lifting results. However, treatment can be repeated after six months for additional eyebrow toning benefit. Although some skin tightening is noticeable immediately, the real results happen over the next 3-6 months and can last for up to five years, as new collagen continues to form, firm and rejuvenate the skin. Results are natural looking because they are gradual.

Ultherapy has no downtime, is noninvasive, works naturally, usually requires only a single one-hour treatment, and yields natural looking, long lasting results.

How long Ultherapy lasts depends on the genetic predisposition to aging and lifestyle factors of the patient. However, no anti-aging treatment has the ability to combat the natural aging process, which means that Ultherapy is not permanent. We typically say Ultherapy lasts until you age more. 

Ulthera ultrasound risks, bad results and problems are less common than a cosmetic facelift. That’s because the Ultherapy technology has the ability to bypass the outermost layer of the skin, which means there is no downtime. Additionally, clients may resumed normal activity immediately. Patients’ skin is typically pink for as little as 20 minutes or as much as two hours after treatment.

Pain is not generally reported during Ultherapy skin tightening; however, each individual has a personal and individual tolerance. As a rule, any discomfort  usually dissipates quickly. Our experienced and licensed technicians know how to make the procedure as pain-free and comfortable as possible. Additionally, we offer Pro Nox self-adminstered analgesic during treatment. Most patients report that any mild discomfort experienced due to the heat of the Ultrasound energy is worth the benefit that treatment provides.

There is no downtime, because Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin. Patients typically only experience minor redness which can last an hour or two. Any minor side effects from Ulthera treatment generally dissipate, as a part of the normal healing process. These may be alleviated with simple measures, such as Ibuprofen. Patients typically only experience minor redness which can last up to an hour or two. Additionally, it is normal to experience mild tenderness, bruising and swelling  for up to a week.

Before Ultherapy, the only treatment to lift the eyebrows and the eyelids was a surgical eyebrow lift or eyelid surgery, called blepharoplasty. Both of these treatments have the inherent risks of anesthesia, possible scarring, a permanent unnatural “surprised” look, uneven bilateral results, as well as a long and obvious healing process and significant downtime. The results of Ultherapy happen gradually, mainly over the first 3-6 months, and look completely natural.

Ultherapy stimulates collagen production in your skin from the inside out, in order to smooth and tighten skin on the face, including the jowls, eyes, and brow. Ultherapy is also effective for lifting skin on the body including the neck, and chest, knees and stomach.

The Ultherapy Brow Lift has been shown to work best for patients with mild to moderate laxity of the skin of the forehead and around the eyes and brows. Patients with more laxity can sometimes benefit as well. We offer complimentary consultations to see if Ultherapy is best for you, or if any of our other cosmedical nonsurgical beauty treatments are better options for you.

How much Ultherapy costs in NYC depends on your desired treatment outcome, as well as how lax your skin is before treatment. Because it’s the only FDA cleared treatment for skin tightening, we, generally say that Ultherapy is worth the price!
