Ultherapy (Skin Lifting & Tightening)
The Non-Surgical Face Lift,Brow Lift or Neck Lift. No Downtime.
Our faces can tell many stories, and while wrinkles might say 'experience,' droopiness can say 'tired.' Introducing, Ultherapy, a non-surgical ultrasound treatment for counteracting the effects of time and gravity on your skin. Known as the first Non-Surgical device to be FDA approved for facial lifting, Ultherapy is the most efficacious treatment available. The beauty of this 30-60 minute face and neck treatment is that it uses the body's own regenerative response to gently and gradually restore memory to the skin and underlying tissue support.
Results
The perfect candidate for ultherapy is someone with mild to moderate facial and neck skin laxity (sagging) who doesn't need or want surgery. If you've tried a series of Titan treatments and want to take a more aggressive approach to lifting your skin then Ulthera is for you. After just one treatment-with no downtime!- your skin will gradually shift into a more youthful position and reflect a more refreshed, uplifting appearance. Other visible effects include a lifting and toning of sagging skin. In the FDA clinical trial, nine out of ten patients had a noticeable, significant lift of the brow line. This resulted in reduced skin laxity on the eyelid and a more open, youthful look to the eyes overall. Patients reported firmer, better-fitting skin in other areas of the face and neck as well. There is also an invisible result from the procedure with the creation of new collagen, which can help to slow down the rate of skin aging.

Technique
A non-invasive tissue tightening procedure, Ulthera is the only device to use focused ultrasound energy, which penetrates the target tissue deeper and with more precision than previous technologies. We place a smooth applicator on your skin which projects an image onto a screen that allows us to plan where the energy will be directed. This same applicator is then used to deliver low levels of focused heat to just the right depth below the skin to achieve a positive effect, all the while leaving the surface of your skin undisturbed.
Number of Treatments
With just one treatment, with no downtime, the regenerative process is initiated, but the full effect will build gradually over the course of two to three months. Some patients may benefit from more than one treatment.
WHAT TO EXPECT
There can be some discomfort while the energy is being delivered, but it is temporary, and a signal that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Comfort thresholds vary across clients, and at Calidora we will discuss options for making the experience as pleasant as possible for you. Some over-the-counter pain medications such as Tylenol or ibuprofen are used by some clients with added benefit. Stronger medications can be prescribed at Calidora but are usually not necessary for Ultherapy. Clients typically leave comfortable and excited about the benefits to come. You are able to return to your normal activities right away. Your skin may appear a bit flushed after the treatment, but any redness should disappear within a few hours. It is not uncommon to experience slight swelling for a few days following the procedure or tingling/tenderness to the touch for a few weeks post procedure, but these are mild and temporary in nature.
