Ultherapy™ Procedure

About the Ultherapy™ Treatment

•  The Ulthera® System is the first and only energy-based device for
   aesthetics leared by the FDA with a non-invasive lift indication.
   The Ulthera® System combines time-honored ultrasound imaging with
   focused ultrasound therapy to treat lax skin.

•  Ultrasound energy is used to first visualize targeted layers of the soft
   tissue and then treat them, while leaving the uppermost layers of skin
   completely undisturbed.

•  Ulthera’s DeepSEE™ technology allows physicians, for the first time, to see
   below the skin’s surface and treat the deep support structures of connective
   tissue beneath the skin without surgery.

•  Ultherapy™ uses the body’s own regenerative response to gently and
   gradually restore memory to the skin and underlying tissue support.

•  Ultherapy™ works to recondition the network of collagen fibers within the
   skin and strengthen its foundational support over time to improve its shape
   and fit and help withstand the effects of gravity.

•  Ultherapy™ is not just another skin tightening procedure. It gradually
   and gently shifts the skin back into a more youthful position. It addresses
   multiple layers of soft tissue, including the fibro muscular layer that is
   treated in a facelift.

Can Ultherapy™ be used if a patient has had cosmetic injections or other cosmetic procedures?

•  Because the treatment affects the deep layers of tissue, it is complementary
   to (and compatible with) other cosmetic procedures addressing more
   superficial issues. It may also be used as the skin continues to age
   following surgery.

How long is the Ultherapy™ treatment session?

•  A full face and neck Ultherapy™ treatment session lasts 45-60 minutes
   with no associated downtime; a partial face will take 30 minutes.

Reported Ultherapy™ Benefits:

•  Improvement can begin immediately with some contraction initially and
   further improvement occurring over the next 2-3 months.

•  As with exercising to build muscle, the building of new collagen to lift and
   tone skin occurs gradually over the weeks and months that follow treatment.

•  Clinical studies demonstrate consistent lifting of the brow after just one
   treatment, which creates a more ‘open’ look of the eyes and a more
   refreshed look overall.

•  Patients have also noted a softening of the creases around their nose
   and mouth, a sleeker, more defined jawline, less laxity under the chin
   and a generally firmer skin feel.
