How It Works
Ultherapy is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes advanced technology to emit microfocused ultrasound energy. This energy is precisely delivered to specific depths within the skin, targeting areas where collagen production is stimulated. By placing the specialized device against the skin, Ultherapy effectively harnesses the power of ultrasound to rejuvenate and tighten the skin on the face, neck, and chest. As a result, the process helps lift and tighten the skin over time.
