What is Ultratherma?
UltraTherma is the next evolution in aesthetic science. UltraTherma is a new type of non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that uses focused ultrasound and the body’s own natural healing process to lift, tone, and tighten loose skin on the brow, neck, under the chin, and even the décolletage. The result? Tighter, better-fitting skin, even on the neck. It’s the lift without the surgery!
How does it Work?
ULTRAtherma uses both Micro and Macro Ultrasound technology, by delivering precisely focused beams of ultrasound energy at three different depths in the skin’s layers. The body’s natural wound healing response results in the formation of new collagen which leads to a long term tightening of the skin.
Unlike lasers, which penetrate the skin from the outside-in, the ULTRAtherma procedure bypasses the surface of the skin, and delivers targeted energy specifically into the deep, structural tissues where collagen lives.
Because ultrasound technology actually works non-invasively from the inside-out, results build gradually over 2-3 months, and can continue to improve up to 6 months after the procedure.
Treatment Areas
The results are long lasting and you can expect smoother, firmer, and brighter skin in the months after treatment. Your eyes will look more open, brows more lifted, fine lines softened, and pore reduced. Because of the restored elasticity, your skin will feel softer and more supple.
ULTRAtherma is carried out mostly over the entire face, on eyebrows, neck and chest areas. These areas are most often affected by loss of tone and respond well to ultrasound therapy. Depending on your needs, it is also possible to treat the entire face or just a targeted area of the face; the jawline can be targeted to redefine facial contours, while the eye area can be targeted to lift eyebrows, smooth fine lines and “open-up” the eyes.
The Results
The results are long lasting and you can expect smoother, firmer, and brighter skin in the months after treatment. Your eyes will look more open, brows more lifted, fine lines softened, and pore reduced. Because of the restored elasticity, your skin will feel softer and more supple.
Most patients only require one and in some instances two treatments. The results will last several years depending on your genes and skincare. The treatment can be repeated as needed.
HIFU vs RF for Face Lifting
Radio Frequency (RF) technology and ultrasound technology are both considered the gold standard for face lifting and tightening, but they differ in their mechanisms and outcomes. RF treatments such as Thermage or Pollogen RF, use radio waves waves to heat the deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue tightening. It is non-invasive and generally well-tolerated, offering gradual improvements with minimal downtime. On the other hand, ultrasound treatments such as Ultratherma use focused sound waves to penetrate the skin and target specific areas, triggering a thermal effect that promotes collagen regeneration and tightening. Ultrasound treatments tend to be more targeted and precise, offering immediate results with a potential for more significant skin lifting.
Ultimately, the choice between RF and ultrasound technologies depends on individual preferences, treatment goals, and the advice of from one of our qualified physicians. Book in for a free consultation today.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Answers to all of Your Questions
Q. How does Ultratherma work?
A. Ultratherma uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate the production of collagen in the skin, which helps to tighten and lift sagging skin. The procedure is performed using a handheld device that delivers focused ultrasound energy to the treatment area.
Q. Is this the same as Thermage?
A. No, whilst both treatments are non-invasive and used for skin tightening and rejuvenation, they rely on different technologies. Ultratherma uses focused ultrasound energy whereas Thermage uses mono-polar RF energy. Each treatment has its unique benefits and considerations, and the choice between Ultratherma and Thermage depends on individual goals and preferences. It is best start with a consultation to determine the most suitable treatment
Q. Does it hurt?
A. Most patients do not experience significant pain during the Ultratherma treatment. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or a sensation of heat during the procedure, but this is usually well tolerated.
Q. Is there any downtime?
A. There is no downtime or recovery time required after Ultratherma treatment. You will be able to return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Q. How do I know if I’m a candidate?
A. Ultratherma is suitable for most healthy adults who are concerned about wrinkles and sagging skin on the face, neck, and chest. It’s always best to start with a complimentary consultation with our nurse clinician to tailor a treatment plan unique to you.
Q. Are there any side effects to ultrasound skin tightening?
A. Ultratherma ultrasound skin tightening is generally considered a safe and effective procedure with few risks or side effects. However, as with any medical procedure, there is a small risk of complications such as swelling, bruising, or skin irritation. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own within a few days.
