How does Ulthera lift the face?
Ulthera sends focused ultrasound below the skin surface to the SMAS, the layer that surgeons tighten in a facelift. The energy creates tiny thermal points that prompt the tissue to tighten and rebuild over time. Because the skin surface is not cut, there is no incision. Results develop gradually and vary between people.
Which areas does the clinic treat?
- Double chin and under the jaw
- Deep cheek area
- Around the cheekbones
