Why do you need Ultherapy?
Along with wrinkles and fine lines, sagging skin is the most obvious sign of ageing on a face.
After the age of 25, most people start losing definition of the jawline, having rounder and fuller face, developing deeper smiling lines and suffering from droopy eye lids.
These signs are due to the weakening of the anchoring complex as a consequent loss of viscoelastic properties (e.g. collagen, elastin) of the skin and underlying tissues2. The anchoring complex is the structure that holds the skin to the bone.
Ultherapy goes deep into the tissues above the muscles, stimulating collagen and elastin production, and strengthens the anchoring complex without surgery or downtime.
It is one of the most effective skin tightening and non-invasive facelift treatment to date.
What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a non-invasive facelift procedure using safe and time-tested ultrasound energy. It is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that lifts the brow, chin and neck, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest (décolletage).
The treatment deposits microfocused ultrasound energy to deeper layers of tissues to stimulate collagen production without disrupting the surface of your skin therefore there is virtually no downtime.
It is a great alternative for those who wants to avoid or are not prepared for a surgical facelift. Some patients may notice immediate results after treatment, but the real results appear over 2-3 months as collagen gradually builds up, and ultimately lifting and tightening the skin.
Ultherapy vs HIFU
The biggest difference between Ultherapy, also known as micro-focused ultrasound with visualisation (MFU-V) with other High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) devices is the ability to “see” where you treat.
With the DeepSEE technology – a unique visual aid to see the areas being treated, doctors can have an accurate assessment of the tissues and effectively treat the area for the desired facelift and skin tightening. This makes Ultherapy both much safer and much more effective.
HIFU, without the ultrasound screen, is a blind treatment. This means you cannot safely treat as deeply and are less likely to see the desired results.
Ultherapy was the category changer, and all HIFU are modeled after the Ultherapy. While some of the HIFU work, many – especially those offered in beauty salons, do not, and can cause serious and long-lasting complications.
Unlike HIFU, Ultherapy has undergone rigorous scientific evaluation even before being available in the market. The safety and efficacy have been well established through more than 50 clinical studies and over 1,750,000 treatments performed worldwide.
Is Ultherapy safe?
Ultherapy is a very safe treatment, provided it is performed by a well-trained, experienced doctor. We are blessed that our patients at Clique Clinic adore the treatment results and have not seen any complications to date.
With over 1.75 million treatments performed globally, it is a proven treatment with a well-established safety profile.
Is Ultherapy painful?
Ultherapy works by heating the deep layers of the tissues. Everyone will have different sensitivities to this heat. Many patients find the treatment comfortable or very bearable. However, for those with very low pain threshold, we will prescribe you painkillers before your procedure.
Go for ONLY Authentic Ultherapy®. Beware of risky counterfeits.
