Ultherapy In Charleston, SC

Ultherapy can be defined as a non-invasive tightening procedure that utilizes ultrasound technology for the lifting and tightening of the skin of the neck and the face. With the application of an ultrasound probe, the operator can see the muscles and deep connective tissue underneath the skin and drive focused ultrasound energy to the spot. The deep tissue and muscles will be contracted by the heat which will, in turn, stimulates the body’s collagen to develop and reinforce, thereby offering a framework that braces the skin and leads to a slicker, tighter, and more boosted skin.

WHO IS ULTHERAPY® FOR?

The application of the Ultherapy procedure is safe for every type of skin and many ages. However, even individuals who are in their late thirties and early forties who have developed signs of skin laxity will enjoy the advantages of the treatment.

HOW IS ULTHERAPY® DONE?

A smooth ultrasound probe is applied to the skin to offer strong levels of targeted energy to the deep tissues and muscles under the surface of the skin during the Ultherapy treatment. This creates a warm, tightening feeling that can be tolerated without the use of pain medication or anesthetic. Your physician may apply local anesthetic if you cannot bear the pain. We also offer PRO-NOX, commonly known as "laughing gas" whose administration is delivered by the patient.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF ULTHERAPY®?

It is a procedure that requires patience as you will be repaid with the fantastic and risk-free outcomes of the Ultherapy treatment which offers you lifted, toned, and tightened skin around the jawline, brow, and the eyes.
