Over time our skin loses the youthful appearance we long for. Sun damage, dry skin, smoking, repeated facial expressions, and just the natural aging process wear away at the skin, creating dull skin that wrinkles and sags. While the signs of aging are inevitable, you don’t have to just deal with it. Instead, reverse the signs with an innovative procedure called Ultherapy.

What is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is a revolutionary nonsurgical procedure to firm and tighten the skin. The ultrasound technology can be used to treat the areas of the face and neck. Using specialized imaging, Dr. Pamela Henderson is able to specifically target levels of the skin to stimulate collagen production and promote healthy cell regeneration. The revolutionary treatment produces fantastic results in men and women looking to tone andlift the skin for a more youthful appearance.

The procedure is ideal for patients that aren’t quite ready for surgical procedures or those that are looking to extend the results of previous surgeries.

Am I a good candidate for Ultherapy?

If you are looking to treat your sagging facial and neck skin without undergoing invasive surgery, Ultherapy may be right for you. During your initial consultation, Dr. Henderson will examine the skin’s laxity and condition to determine if Ultherapy will provide the results you desire. In most cases, a single treatment will achieve the desired affect, although some patients may require an additional treatment for optimal results. Some patients may desire more drastic results, which would require a neck face lift.

What can I expect during the procedure?

Ultherapy is a simple in-office procedure that lasts between 30-60 minutes, depending on the areas treated. Using a special transducer handpiece, multiple passes are made over the treatment area to treat various depths below the skin’s surface. Treatment will vary slightly based on the desired results. If needed local anesthesia and oral pain relievers can be used prior to the procedure.

What is the recovery process like?

This non-invasive procedure requires no downtime, although slight redness and swelling may occur at the treatment site. Initial results may be minimal but patients can expect additional results over the next four to six months as collagen is stimulated. Many patients can expect results to last a year or more with annual touchup treatments to maintain the youthful appearance.
