Ulthera
Skin Tightening
First came fillers in the Eighties, then lasers, then Botox—all still useful in their own way. And there’s always been surgery. Now there’s Ultherapy™—a nonsurgical way to counteract the effects of time and gravity—by tightening and lifting skin tissue.
The beauty of Ultherapy is that it is a 30-minute procedure that uses the body’s own subtle healing response to gently, gradually—and reliably—restore memory to the skin and its underlying tissue. In a clinical study at Northwestern University, physician evaluators noted significant lifting of the brow line. Often, what appeared to be excess skin on the upper lids was actually hooding that was caused by a drooping brow. By simply raising the brow, patients reported a more “open” eye, and a more rested, refreshed look overall. They reported firmer, more toned skin in other areas as well.
There isn't a replacement for the dramatic effects of surgery, but finally there is a noninvasive approach to significant skin tightening.
