ULTHERAPY

Ulthera is the only non–invasive device that has been approved by the FDA for skin tightening and it is available exclusively at Zel. It uses ultrasound technology, which precisely targets tissue beneath the skin’s surface leaving the top layers and the epidermis totally unaffected. Which means, zero down time. The ultrasound energy stimulates the growth of new collagen, and over time a natural tightening, firming and lifting of the skin occurs.

What It Treats

Ulthera is the latest treatment to lift and tighten lax skin. Clinical evaluation at Northwestern University has shown that one full face Ultherapy treatment can produce significant and satisfying tightening and lift. Findings of three independent physician evaluators and quantitative assessment of photographs revealed that 9 of 10 treated subjects demonstrated clinically significant eyebrow lift at 90 days, resulting in less hooding and a more open look to the eyes. Subjects reported firmer, tighter skin in other areas of the face and an overall refreshed appearance as well.

How It Works

The Ulthera System precisely deliver acoustic sound waves deep into the skin to thermally initiate the body’s own rejuvenative mechanisms.ÝThis is done with the help of acoustic imaging for seeing the layers of soft tissue before treating. This novel ultrasound combination promises to set a new standard in the aesthetics industry.

What the Treatment Involves

In this 30–minute, completely noninvasive procedure, the practitioner gradually moves the flat surface of the ultrasound applicator over each region of the face. The sound waves deliver small, controlled amounts of energy into the deep layers of skin and soft tissue while sparing the upper layers. The procedure has an excellent safety profile, is tolerated without need for an anesthetic, and the patient can return to his or her daily routine immediately.
