Natural. Non-invasive. No downtime.
Before & After
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is the only non-invasive treatment approved by the FDA for lifting the skin on the neck, chin and brow. Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to lift and tighten loose skin over time, without any downtime.
How is Ultherapy different from other cosmetic procedures?
Ultherapy is the only non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses focused ultrasound to stimulate the growth of new collagen deep within the skin. The production of new collagen occurs over time, so results can become more apparent over three to six months. The procedure takes only about an hour for most patients, and there is no downtime.
It also is the only procedure to use ultrasound imaging, which allows us to actually see the layers of tissue we target during the treatment and ensure the energy is deposited precisely to where it will be most effective.
Does it hurt?
A recent software upgrade called “Ultherapy Amplify” now affords a more comfortable procedure. While comfort thresholds vary from patient to patient, most patients now report that the procedure is quite tolerable. If and when any discomfort does occur, it happens while the ultrasound energy is being delivered. This sensation is temporary and is a positive signal that the collagen-building process has been initiated.
We take measures to make the experience as pleasant as possible (e.g. premedication, cooling fans, etc.), and patients tell us they leave comfortable and excited about the benefits to come.
How long does it last?
Patients treated with Ultherapy still have fresh young collagen after a year’s time following the procedure, but skin continues to age. Future touch-up treatments can help keep pace with the aging process, which varies by individual.
Are there any side effects?
There may be slight redness for up to an hour or so following the treatment, and a small percentage of patients may have slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature.
How much does it cost?
Patients can expect to pay between $750 and $5000, depending upon the areas being treated. Ultherapy meets the demand for something between skin creams and surgery. Call us today at (732)252-9415 for a free consultation.
Is Ultherapy safe?
The procedure has been cleared by the FDA after demonstrating safety in clinical studies, and over 100,000 treatments have been performed safely worldwide. In addition, ultrasound energy has a proven track record, with use in the field of medicine for more than 50 years.
How many treatments does it take?
The majority of patients only need one treatment; however, some may benefit from more than one treatment depending on how much laxity they have and their body’s own biological response to the ultrasound and the collagen-building process.
Who is a good candidate for Ultherapy?
A good candidate for Ultherapy is someone with skin that has some degree of laxity, to the point of looking, and often feeling, less firm. A lowered eyebrow line or sagging skin on the eyelids, for instance, is often the first sign of "maturing" skin. Loose skin under the neck and under the chin signals a patient might be a candidate. Typically, those in their thirties and older who have mild to moderate skin laxity are candidates.
While Ultherapy is not a replacement for a surgical face lift, there are many people who want some lifting but are not ready for surgery, either mentally, physically or financially. There also are younger people who want to “stay ahead of the game” as well as those looking to prolong the effects of cosmetic surgery.
What about treating anatomical regions other than the face?
Currently, Ultherapy is a treatment for the face, neck and chest, with a specific clinical indication for lifting the skin on the neck, chin and brow; and improving lines and wrinkles on the decolette.
What does collagen do? How does Ultherapy stimulate the creation of collagen?
Collagen is a natural protein that gives skin its youthfulness by keeping it firmed and toned. As we age, collagen loses its strength and its ability to stand up to the effects of gravity that pull the skin downward. Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to generate a thermal affect under the skin. The thermal affect essentially jumpstarts a repair process that strengthens existing collagen and produces fresh, new collagen.
What is mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a treatment that has been gaining popularity in the USA over the past decade – but it certainly is not new! Mesotherapy was pioneered by the French physician, Dr. Michel Pistor, over 50 years ago. Mesotherapy is the practice of delivering microinjections of conventional medications into the middle layer of the skin. Originally, medical conditions such as osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia and chronic pain were treated. Over the years, mesotherapy evolved to include treatments for aesthetic purposes like cellulite reduction, reduction of small areas of fat & body contouring, and even wrinkle reduction.
The problems with mesotherapy:
Mesotherapy consists of injecting medications to change the body with many needles (can be anywhere between 8-300 injections depending on the size of the area and condition being treated). A patient can have excellent results, but the procedure can be painful and result in trauma, bruising, swelling, nodules, and even skin color changes.
Our solution: Needleless Mesotherapy.
With dermoelectroporation technology, we are now able to transfer ionic solutions to deliver the active substances into the dermis without using painful needles. Not only does this procedure even the skin tone, but it actually affects fat deposits by breaking down the connective bonds of fat cells and naturally flushing them out of the body. As a result, patients can reveal smoother, cellulite-free legs, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, abdomen and even the area under the chin!
Is Needleless Mesotherapy comfortable?
Needleless Mesotherapy is a non-invasive treatment – so treatments are very comfortable! Some compare it to having a massage. No needle, no pain, no down-time, no bruising and no skin color changes!
How long do the benefits last?
Mesotherapy treatments are considered permanent as long as the patient maintains their weight with a healthy diet and a consistent exercise program. Maintenance treatments will help to keep areas sculpted and cellulite free.
Will I lose weight or inches?
Mesotherapy for fat reduction is more about losing inches and sculpting. People with large amounts of weight to lose are not the best candidates for the procedure.
How many treatments will I need?
This varies based on the area that is being treated. Generally, patients require 6-8 treatments at 1-2 week intervals. However, active people who are already at their optimal weight but have problem areas such as “love handles” or “saddlebags” may require fewer. Most people see significant improvement in 4 treatments. Overweight individuals may require more treatments. Maintenance treatments are recommended 2-4 times a year.
