Ultherapy: Your Secret, Surgery-Free Weapon for Skin-Tightening

You have sagging jowls and a droopy neck. You’d like to do something about them, but you’re not ready for surgery. You’re in luck! Ultherapy® can fix those issues without a scalpel. Here’s what you need to know.

As you age, your skin undergoes inevitable changes. The once smooth and firm texture gives way to lines and wrinkles, and your skin starts to sag in certain areas. Several factors influence this natural aging process, including genetics, sun exposure, lifestyle habits, and environmental conditions.

But what if there was a way to combat these signs of aging without going under the knife? Enter Ultherapy® (also known as Ulthera) — a groundbreaking, noninvasive treatment that works wonders on the skin.

Women and men throughout Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, New York, have discovered the benefits of Ultherapy at Brooklyn Aesthetics. Dr. Boris Itskovich leads our team of highly trained licensed estheticians in delivering state-of-the-art treatments using the latest technology.

We love how Ulthera shores up your skin’s sagging places and restores a tighter, more youthful appearance. Here’s a quick guide on all things Ulthera.

How Ultherapy works

Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared procedure that harnesses the power of ultrasound to lift and tighten your skin.

The ultrasound energy penetrates your skin and targets the deepest layers, gently heating the cells. Your body responds to the heat as if you experienced an injury and floods the site with healing factors.

Primarily, it stimulates your body’s natural healing process by promoting collagen production. Collagen, a protein that keeps your skin firm, elastic, and healthy, depletes as you age, starting in your mid-20s. By stimulating its production, Ultherapy helps to restore your skin’s younger characteristics.

Unlike surgical facelifts, Ultherapy doesn’t involve any incisions or injections. Instead, it targets the deep structural support layers of your skin, the same layers typically addressed in a surgical face-lift, without disturbing your skin's surface, so you’ll have no downtime, no scars, and significantly less discomfort.

Ultherapy's safety record

Ultherapy boasts an impressive safety record. It’s undergone rigorous clinical testing and review and is the only FDA-cleared, noninvasive treatment for lifting the skin on your neck, chin, and brow. Another plus in the safety column is that Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy, which has a proven track record in the medical field.

Is Ultherapy right for you?

Determining if Ultherapy is right for you depends on several factors. If you've noticed your skin beginning to sag or lose its firmness, Ultherapy could be an excellent choice. It's particularly effective for those who want to take a proactive approach to combat aging but aren’t ready for surgery.
