Ultherapy Face NYC | Nonsurgical Facelift Treatment

Ultherapy is a revolutionary, non-surgical facelift alternative to tighten and lift the skin. Available for full face or lower face, safe, time-tested Ultrasound technology makes Ulthera so innovative. Specifically, ultrasound waves bypass the surface of the skin, depositing tiny amounts of energy to clearly-defined depths under the facial skin. As a result, the body jumpstarts the skin’s regenerative process from the inside out. This process stimulates new collagen and elastin production, as well as encourages cellular turnover. Specifically, volume is restored to the face and the skin is tightened and toned.

It’s important to note the difference between Ultherapy Full Face Treatment and Ultherapy Lower Face Treatment. Specifically, the Ultherapy Full Face includes the brow, under eyes, cheeks and jowl / jawline. On the other hand, Ultherapy for Jowls / Jawline concentrates on the lower part of the face. Essentially, Ultherapy Full Face is a nonsurgical facelift, while Ultherapy Jowls Treatment is a nonsurgical lower facelift.

We tend to think of aging as wrinkly, sagging skin on the superficial layers of the face. However, these outward signs of aging are a sign of what’s happening in the deeper, foundational layers of the skin. Over time, our bodies produce less collagen and elastin. As a result, our skin loses elasticity. Further, we lose fat in our face and our skin becomes thinner.

While these processes happen gradually, they eventually cause a cascading effect on the face. The skin on the cheeks loses its firmness. We experience volume loss in the cheeks. Our faces gravitate downward. The result? The tell-tale signs of aging — deep wrinkles, facial hollows, under-eye bags, nasolabial folds, marionette lines and sagging or loose skin on the jawline or jowls.

Ultherapy face treatment  works to counteract many of these signs of aging. And it’s is distinctively different from other non invasive beauty treatments because it actually lifts the musculature from within the SMAS (subcutaneous musculoaponeurotic system) layer (where cosmetic surgeons cut), as it tones and tightens skin on the face.

An Ulthera ultrasound treatment stimulates neocollagenesis and elastin remodeling by heating of the dermis with patented Deep See technology. This allows the practitioner to visualize deep beneath the skin’s surface. By using the feedback from the image on-screen, she can deliver precise amounts of energy to reach deep into the SMAS skin layers of the face at three different depths. Only Ulthera can offer the advantage of being so targeted, while reaching so many deep, foundational layers of the skin. As a result, there’s a noticeable lift and improve skin texture on the face. 

Ulthera has been scientifically proven to significantly lift, tighten and smooth wrinkles on the face non-surgically in just a single, one-hour procedure with no downtime. At the end of one study, 82.1% of the subjects had qualitative, significant improvement, and 75.0% saw improvement in their face and/or neck as early as day ninety. For the ideal candidates with mild to moderate skin laxity, the average amount of lift was exceptional, at 45.2 mm.

You will see your facial skin look more lifted and rejuvenated gradually, most noticeably between 2-6 months after treatment, as well as over the next year. Results look natural, because it works by targeting ultrasound waves into specific areas to trigger your body’s ability to produce collagen naturally. This  works at:

• Smoothing sagging skin
• Tightening and lifting skin on the face, eyes, brow, cheeks, chin and jowls
• Restoring volume loss to cheeks, undereye area and nasolabial folds
• Improving skin’s texture
• Minimizing the appearance of wrinkles
• Repairing and rejuvenating skin’s appearance 
• Works as either a full face treatment or lower face alone

Ulthera skin tightening can last up to five years. However, it may be performed up to two times a year, depending on the treatment outcome you desire, as well as the laxity of your skin. After six months, you can assess treatment results. A maintenance treatment is an option at this point. Essentially, you can repeat treatment as you age.

Ultherapy facelift results can last up to five years. However, how long it lasts depends on the genetic predisposition to aging and lifestyle factors of the patient. Likewise, there’s no permanent skin tightening solution, due to the natural aging process.

Ulthera reaches the same, deep foundational layer addressed in cosmetic surgery — without the significant risks, pain and downtime associated with going under the knife. It’s a great nonsurgical alternative, especially for people not ready for surgery or for those looking to extend the benefits of a facelift.

Treatment has no downtime, because it bypasses the epidermis, while treating skin laxity of the face through subdermal tissue coagulation. Unlike traditional surgical facelifts, Ulthera lifts and tightens skin naturally, with no scarring and no recuperation time. Ultherapy risks, bad results and problems are less common than a cosmetic facelift. Therefore, patients are free to return to normal activity following treatment.

Pain is usually not reported during treatment; however, comfort levels are individual. Any pain or discomfort during treatment usually dissipates quickly. Our experienced and licensed technicians are highly-trained in how to make the procedure as pain-free and comfortable as possible. Most patients report that any mild discomfort experienced due to the heat of the Ultrasound energy is worth the benefit that Ultherapy treatment provides for the skin.

Most side effects from the treatment should not be cause for alarm. Specifically, symptoms are usually minor and should subside in minimal time, as a normal part of the healing process. Further, they may be alleviated with simple measures, such as Ibuprofen. Immediately following treatment, your skin may appear flushed, which usually subsides within several hours. Additionally, it is normal to experience mild tenderness, bruising and swelling after Ulthera for up to a week. Further, tingling, soreness, numbness and tenderness (especially under the jowls) may occur for up to two to three weeks.

Ultherapy is the first ever FDA cleared, non-invasive skin lifting device for use on areas of the face such as brows, jowls, eyes as well as other areas of the body. For example, Ultherapy for eyes can provide a subtle improvement to the lower eyelids. Further, a non-surgical brow lift can take years off your face. And did you know that Ultherapy works on other parts of the body besides the face? Clients report improvements of skin laxity when used to treat the neck, décolleté, stomach and knees.

Additionally, it’s important to note that many people who are considering full face Ulthera treatment are also good candidates for other areas. Specifically, it’s a great idea to add an Ultherapy Neck treatment to the full face treatment, since, generally speaking, the neck shows age as much as the face. Both areas can be easily done in one session.

How much treatment costs depends on the laxity of the skin to begin with, as well as the extent of the treatment area. For example, the cost for full face will be more than for an Ultherapy brow lift or Ultherapy Lower Face treatment. To find out the Ultherapy cost in NYC, come into Smooth Synergy for a consultation.
