Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that lifts and tightens skin, improving your skin from the inside out without damaging its surface.
Dr Ivan Puah, Medical Director of Amaris B. Clinic, explains why Ultherapy® is an effective and fuss-free option.
Why not try Ultherapy®?
Ultherapy® uses time-tested ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin naturally and restore the skin's elasticity and youthful appearance without surgery.
This non-invasive skin lifting treatment that uses high-intensity micro-focused ultrasound with real-time visualisation (MFU-V) can also smooth out lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. Ultherapy® stimulates collagen production in the skin's foundation, resulting in a clinically significant lift of tissue over two to three months, which continues to show results for up to half a year.
This is said to gently and gradually lift the skin and make it supple again.
The length of the treatment depends on the area being treated and your treatment plan, but the face and neck procedures typically take between 45 and 60 minutes.
You will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited as the ultrasound energy is delivered. This sensation is said to indicate that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Comfort levels will vary from person to person, but the sensation lasts only while the ultrasound energy is being delivered.
Your skin might appear flushed, but the redness should disappear in a few hours. Some patients may experience tingling, tenderness to the touch or even slight swelling, bruising or numbness, but these side effects are believed to be temporary. You should consult an Ultherapy-trained doctor to discuss your concerns before treatment.
There is no downtime required. You can resume your daily activities immediately after the treatment.
