During treatment, the Ultherapy device sends targeted ultrasound energy deep beneath your skin’s surface to promote collagen and elastin production. Directly treating the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), this device focuses on the same tissue layer as plastic surgery. As a result, your features can appear uplifted even without an invasive procedure.
The ultrasound energy heats the tissues to about 150 degrees, creating tiny injuries in your facial skin. As your body heals this micro-damage, your collagen and elastin increases, creating smoother skin and giving you a youthful appearance.
