Ultherapy Knoxville, TN

“Who says Ultherapy boosts your collagen? Oh right science…”

Ultherapy is the ONLY non-invasive treatment cleared by the FDA for lifting the skin on the neck, chin, and brow and improving lines and wrinkles on the decolletage. Ultherapy uses microfocused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten loose skin over time, without any downtime. This treatment is a non-invasive facelift with no down time. I know this is music to your ears. This procedure is different from other cosmetic procedures because it uses focused ultrasound to stimulate the formation of new collagen deep below the skin’s surface. The results can become more apparent over two to three months, even up to six months. This treatment takes about 30 to 90 minutes depending on the area that is being treated.

I know some of you are wondering can Ultherapy replace a facelift? Great question. Ultherapy treats the deep foundational layer addressed in cosmetic surgery but it wont duplicate the results of a surgical facelift. However, it is a great alternative to a facelift because there is no downtime and for those who aren’t quite ready for surgery. It also has the benefit of actually building collagen and elastin and thickening the skin. The benefit to this is healthier skin, and getting to the root of the problem of why skin begins to fall.

The side effects may vary; some patients experience slight redness that typically resolves within a few hours following the treatment. Some patients may have slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to the touch but these are mild and temporary side effects. The last thing I will touch on today will be “how does the treatment feel? When the ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, stimulating the collagen-building process. Comfort levels vary from person to person but the sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is being delivered.
