Ultherapy®: Your Secret, Surgery-Free Weapon for Skin Tightening

Collagen isn’t just a trendy supplement: It’s the most abundant protein in your body, and it’s responsible for your skin’s elasticity and strength. Unfortunately, your collagen production slows down as you age, leaving you with loose, lax skin.

That’s where Ultherapy® comes in. Ultherapy is your secret, surgery-free weapon against loose skin. 

In this blog, the aesthetic providers at Integrative Dermatology & Laser Spa in Fort Wayne, Indiana, share how Ultherapy can be your best bet for skin tightening. 

What is Ultherapy, and how does it work?

Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared, nonsurgical, noninvasive procedure that lifts the skin on your face, neck, chin, and brow area. Ultherapy utilizes the power of ultrasound technology (sound energy) to stimulate your body to produce more collagen and elastin. More collagen means smoother, firmer skin.

Because Ultherapy stimulates collagen production, you’ll notice a reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, firmer skin, and a more youthful appearance over the next 2-3 months. In essence, Ultherapy serves as a non-surgical alternative to a more traditional face-lift.

Relax during your Ultherapy session while our team cleanses your skin and applies gel.  Because sound waves don’t travel as well through the air, the gel acts as a vehicle for the sound waves to travel to your skin better.  

As we glide the handheld Ultherapy device over the desired treatment area, ultrasound energy penetrates various levels of your skin, creating a thermal effect under it. The heat doesn’t hurt your skin but stimulates your body’s natural response, which is to produce new collagen. As your body ramps collagen and elastin production, you’ll notice fewer wrinkles, tighter skin, and reduced sagging. 

6 reasons to consider this secret weapon against skin sagging

Not pleased with wrinkles and lax skin? You might consider Ultherapy if:

• You have fine lines but aren’t ready for a face-lift
• You want a completely noninvasive skin-tightening solution (Ultherapy doesn’t require any injections or incisions)
• You don’t want to deal with downtime 
• You have fine lines and wrinkles on your face, neck, and chest
• The skin on your décolletage is lax
• You’d like to firm up the skin under your chin

Although your skin may appear flushed right after your procedure, this slight redness is temporary and will dissipate soon. There’s no downtime required, and you can get right back to your day after your session.

Ultherapy can jump-start your new skincare routines

Ultherapy can boost your skin needs. In the weeks following your Ultherapy session, your skin works hard to produce more collagen. You can continue to support the health of your skin by staying hydrated, wearing sunscreen every day (UV damage can contribute to fine lines and collagen breakdown), and keeping your skin moisturized. Additionally, because good quality sleep promotes cellular renewal and improves skin health, one should practice good sleep hygiene and sleep 7-9 hours each night.
