Ultherapy® - non-invasive wrinkle treatment
Ultherapy is a new and non-invasive procedure for wrinkle treatment, skin tightening and skin smoothing. Sagging areas of skin on the face (e.g. "hamster cheeks"), neck ("turkey neck") and décolleté are gently and effectively tightened. Areas of the body such as the upper arms or inner thighs can also be treated effectively with this procedure.
With Ultherapy, an ultrasound head glides gently over the skin and creates many small heat points in the deep layers of the skin. The lifting effect is achieved by this micro-focussed ultrasound, which provides controlled heat of up to 70°C.
These deeper skin layers can normally only be mobilised during a surgical facelift. The temperature range achieved leads to the existing collagen fibres being tightened (collagen shrinking). The new production of collagen and elastin is also stimulated, which increases the skin's elasticity. The stable collagen fibres can thus strengthen the connective tissue layer and tighten the skin.
