Wrinkles and loose skin may be unavoidable as we get older, but modern technology has given rise to many procedures capable of restoring a healthy, youthful appearance to aging skin. Ultherapy skin tightening is one such procedure, and it has been growing exceedingly popular in recent years thanks to the many benefits it provides those who undergo it.
So what, exactly, is Ultherapy? Ultherapy skin tightening is an FDA-approved non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that rejuvenates aging tissue to increase collagen to smoothen wrinkles and tone sagging skin.
That sounds great and all, but how do you know Ultherapy skin tightening is the right treatment for you? To help you decide, here are a few things you should expect from the treatment:
1. It treats specific areas
Ultherapy skin tightening is an effective treatment for wrinkles and loose skin on the upper chest, neck, chin, face, and brow. If these are the areas you think will benefit the most from the treatment, then Ultherapy is the right choice for you.
2. It uses an ultrasound device
The procedure involves the use of a device that delivers high-intensity ultrasound energy to aging tissue. This reinvigorates the production of collagen in the dermal tissue, which reduces wrinkling and sagging in the target areas.

4. The procedure is convenient
The procedure requires minimal preparation and lasts between 30 and 90 minutes. It has no downtime; any post-treatment side effects are mild and temporary, so it’s normal to be able to resume regular activities, including work and exercise, immediately after treatment.
5. You’ll see the effects gradually
You’ll begin seeing slight improvements immediately to a few days after the Ultherapy skin tightening procedure, but you’ll have to wait 3 to 6 months to enjoy its full effects. These results look natural and can last up to 12 months.
