How Does Ultherapy® Work?

Collagen is a buzz word for anti-ageing as it is well known to be the building block of healthy skin and that we lose collagen as we get older. From our 20’s we start to lose collagen at a rate of about 1% every year so, with age, skin loses its elasticity and the signs of ageing become more visible. Beneath the skin’s surface, structural proteins such as collagen decrease over time. This leads to a decrease in skin’s elasticity and contributes to sagging and the formation of wrinkles.

Using micro-focused ultrasound, Ultherapy® delivers energy to where it will be most beneficial, leading to a lifting and tightening of the face, neck and décolletage. Delivery of ultrasound energy in this manner initiates the bodies healing response, resulting in collagen and elastin synthesis and tissue repair. This new collagen growth leads to skin lifting and tightening which gradually improves over time, with visible improvements that can even be seen a year after treatment.

What is Ultherapy®?
Ultherapy® is a non-invasive technology for lifting and tightening of loose/sagging skin. It is the Gold Standard Treatment for non-surgical lifting and tightening and is a favourite of celebrities like, brand ambassador, Tess Daly. It is a completely non-invasive anti-ageing treatment, working invisibly under the skin so there’s no needles and no downtime involved.

Ultherapy® is the only micro-focused ultrasound with visualisation (MFU-V) technology that has been cleared by the FDA (one of the world’s most stringent regulatory bodies for healthcare, ensuring the safety and efficacy of products and medical devices) and is CE-certified in Europe for non-surgical lifting of the skin on the upper and lower face, neck and décolletage.
