What’s different about ultherapy?

Find Clinics offering Ultherapy in London & UK »

Ultherapy is the only FDA-approved non-invasive skin lifting treatment on the market and it offers an alternative to surgical treatment for those who don’t want to take the risks of surgery, take a long time off work or go through an invasive procedure to look younger.

Ultherapy differs to surgery because it does not interfere with the facial muscles or remove any excess fat or tissue to tighten the skin; it merely involves targeting ultrasound technology to bring about a natural anti-ageing response. Surgery requires around 12 weeks of recovery, while ultherapy requires no downtime whatsoever; the risk of complications, which may include infection, clotting and an adverse reaction to general anaesthetic, are much higher.

Ultherapy differs to laser treatment because it reaches the very foundation of the skin layers to stimulate collagen production; laser technology cannot reach as far down into the skin layers and therefore they tend to be used to treat superficial skin problems; often, the two techniques can be combined to tackle skin issues and create a younger aesthetic.

How can I find out more?

If you would like to find out more about ultherapy, it is possible to access a wealth of information online and to find local providers; once you have found clinics that offer the service, you can have a look at their websites and arrange to go and view the clinic and have a consultation. Many clinics now offer free consultations, so you can go and find out all about the procedure, see if you are a suitable match for treatment and decide whether or not you would like to go ahead and have ultherapy treatment.

During your consultation, your practitioner will have a look at your skin and then chat to you about the procedure, what it entails, how it works and what you can expect after treatment. You can ask any questions you want and then you have the option to book a treatment session; you can also discuss treatment fees, side-effects and risks and benefits. You can also ask your practitioner about possible alternatives and they can provide comparisons between ultherapy and other treatments to help you make a well-informed decision.
