. . . Lift &
Tighten your Face & Neck
Finesse
is pleased to
offer the acclaimed non-surgical face lifting procedure, Ultherapy®,
which counteracts the effects of time and gravity on your skin. The
beauty of this 30- to 60-minute face-and-neck procedure is that it
uses the body’s own regenerative response to gradually strengthen
and tone your skin from deep within. This results in tighter,
firmer, better-fitting skin. All with no downtime.
The FDA cleared
Ulthera system utilizes focused ultrasound technology to first
visualize and then treat the skin's deep support structures.
There isn't a replacement for the
dramatic effects of surgery, but Ultherapy offers a natural, 'no
downtime' approach to noticeably improving lax skin.

Ultherapy has been featured on national TV shows such as Rachel
Ray, The Doctors and The View, and touted
by big-name beauty editors from Vogue, Harper’s
Bazaar, Marie Claire and more.

Why is Ultherapy
a revolutionary face and neck tightening procedure?
-
Ultrasound Technology -
Patented DeepSEE®
technology, combines ultrasound imaging with ultrasound therapy
in a single "see and treat" device allowing treatment at precise
and unprecedented depths.
-
Multilevel Tightening - Ultherapy tightens the
face and neck at multiple levels including the dermal layer of
the skin and the SMAS membrane - the membrane that is
tightened during a surgical face lift.

No Downtime - The non-invasive
procedure does not require incisions or injections. Patients
are able to return to work immediately.

What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a non-surgical face and neck treatment that uses
ultrasound to actually lift and tone loose skin without any
downtime. Ultherapy delivers heat below the surface of the
skin to stimulate the body’s natural renewal of existing collagen
and creation of new collagen. This results in a toning and actual
lift of the skin over time.
What is unique about the Ultherapy procedure?
Ultherapy is the only treatment that can specifically target the
deep foundation below the skin that is addressed in cosmetic surgery
without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin.
It is also the only procedure to use ultrasound imaging, which
allows us to actually see the layers of tissue we target during
treatment and ensure the energy is delivered precisely to where it
will be most effective.
How is Ultherapy different from lasers?
Lasers typically address issues in the superficial layers of the
skin (e.g. fine lines, wrinkles, pigment changes). Ultherapy
addresses the deep skin layer and the foundational layer
addressed in cosmetic surgery that lift and lends support to the
skin. Therefore, the two technologies are quite compatible!
Is Ultherapy safe?
The procedure has been cleared by the FDA after demonstrating safety
in clinical studies, and tens of thousands of treatments have been
performed worldwide without any significant adverse events. In
addition, ultrasound energy has a proven track record, with use in
the field of medicine for more than 50 years.
Who
is a good candidate for Ultherapy?
A
good candidate for Ultherapy is someone with skin that has "relaxed"
to the point of looking, and often feeling, less firm. A lowered
brow line or sagging skin on the eyelids, for instance, is often the
first sign of "maturing" skin. Typically,
those in their thirties and older who have mild to moderate skin
laxity are candidates. While Ultherapy is not a replacement
for surgery, there are many people who want some lifting but are not
ready for surgery, either mentally, financially or logistically.
There are also younger people who want to “stay ahead of the game”
as well as those looking to prolong the effects of cosmetic surgery.
How quickly will I see results with Ultherapy?
Patients may enjoy some initial effect but the ultimate lifting and
toning will take place over 2-3 months, as tired collagen is renewed
and replaced with new, stronger collagen. As this
collagen-building process continues, further improvements can appear
up to 6 months following a procedure.
How long does the Ultherapy treatment take?
A full
face-and-neck treatment takes 45-60 minutes, and a partial face
treatment can take around 30-minutes—neither with any downtime.
Is the Ultherapy treatment painful?
Comfort thresholds vary from patient to patient, but there can be
some discomfort while the energy is being delivered. This is
temporary and a positive signal that the collagen-building process
has been initiated. We will be
sure to consult with you prior to your treatment to make your
experience as pleasant as possible. Patients typically leave
comfortable and excited about the benefits to come!
Will I need more than one treatment?
The majority of
patients only need one treatment; however, some may benefit from
more than one treatment (depending on how much laxity they have and
their body’s own biological response to the ultrasound and collagen
rebuilding process).
Are there any side effects?
There may be
slight redness for up to an hour or so following the treatment, and
a small percentage of patients may have slight swelling, tingling or
tenderness to touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature.
There is always the possibility for other less common
post-procedural effects, which your practitioner will review with
you.
