ULTHERAPY
Non-surgical skin tightening.
Ultherapy is a non-surgical face and neck treatment that uses ultrasound to stimulate collagen growth. This collagen stimulation helps to lift and tone loose or sagging skin with little to no downtime. Ultherapy can be used to lift the brow, lessen the appearance of jowls, and sharpen the jawline. Those concerned about loose submental skin are often drawn to Ultherapy to tighten the skin that gives the appearance of a double chin. Additionally, under eye bags and thinning décolleté skin can be improved using Ultherapy.*
Ultherapy is the only FDA cleared, non-invasive skin tightening treatment that can specifically target the deep foundation below the skin that is addressed in cosmetic surgery without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin. It is also the only procedure to use ultrasound imaging, which allows us to provide more precise, effective results. Using a customized treatment plan based on the ultrasound imaging, collagen is stimulated at various depths to provide our clients with the best treatment for their goal outcomes.*

The beauty of Ultherapy is that, typically, only one treatment is performed to yield results with very little downtime. Clients often treat an area just once to be happy with results, although you may re-treat any area once full results have shown if you'd prefer a more drastic outcome. The only area that Grace Medical Aesthetics suggests a series of treatments for is the under eye area. We suggest treating the under eyes three times for optimal improvement of crepey-ness or bags. For most Ultherapy clients of Grace Medical Aesthetics, downtime is minimal! Most clients return to their normal daily activities immediately following Ultherapy.
​
Ultherapy uses tried-and-true ultrasound technology, which has received FDA clearance for use in this new type of medical procedure, designed to lift skin on the brow, neck, decollete, under the chin, or almost anywhere there is skin laxity.*
​
Ultherapy is the only non-invasive FDA approved procedure cleared to lift the skin on the neck, face, and décolleté. Non-surgical Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin to deliver the right amount of ultrasound energy at the right depths and the right temperature. Clinical research has demonstrated how ultrasound energy can trigger a natural response under the skin, jumpstarting the regenerative process that produces fresh, new collagen.*

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does Ultherapy hurt? What does Ultherapy feel like?
While patient experience may vary, the majority of patients report Ultherapy pain to be minimal and effectively controlled with Ibuprofen or other pain reliever (as directed by a medical professional.) During the Ultherapy procedure, you will feel a small zing under your skin every second or so and you can take a break at any time.
​
When will I see my Ultherapy results and how long do Ultherapy results last?
While results may vary, typically optimal Ultherapy results are seen 12 weeks post procedure, and we invite you back upon your request to our office at the 12 week mark to check in and show your progress through your Ultherapy before and after photos. The results are gradual and you may not realize how great the technology has worked until you see photos. Collagen building does not have a time frame, so results diminish once your body begins to age over them naturally. On average, results last about 2 years.
​
Is there any downtime after my Ultherapy appointment?
While experiences may vary, for most Ultherapy clients, downtime is minimal and somewhat depends on skin sensitivity. Side effects are rare and most clients return to their normal activities immediately following their Ultherapy session. It is not unusual for some patients to feel a bit swollen and tender following an Ultherapy treatment, but this inflammation is mild and not noticeable to others. There is also a chance for bruising or welting, but this typically dissipates quickly. A client may also feel itchy or irritated under the skin for a week or so following the procedure, which is completely normal.
​
What do I do before and after my Ultherapy appointment?
Some patients may take 800mg of Ibuprofen a half hour before their appointment to aid some discomfort during the treatment, although nothing in required to prepare for the treatment. Afterwards, go back to your daily activities and await those gorgeous results!
​
How long does an Ultherapy appointment take?
Appointment time varies on the area being treated. Typically, a smaller area like the submentum (under the chin) takes as little as 30 minutes to treat. A full face, neck, and décolleté may take up to two hours.
​
Ultherapy Pricing: How much does Ultherapy cost?
Ultherapy treatments are broken up into certain areas of the face, so pricing per treatment varies. At Grace Medical Aesthetics, Ultherapy treatment areas begin at $350. Grace Medical Aesthetics proudly accepts CareCredit with 6 month no interest financing; apply here.
​
What areas can be treated using Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is FDA approved to treat the full face, neck, and décolleté. Brows, crow's feet, under eyes, cheeks, around the mouth, under the chin (submentum), neck, and décolleté are all areas that can be treated separately or bundled together in various ways.
​
​
How many Ultherapy treatments are needed?
The beauty of Ultherapy is that one treatment yields visible results! Typically, clients treat an area just once and are happy with results, although you may re-treat if you'd prefer a more drastic outcome. The only area Grace Medical Aesthetics suggests a series of treatments for is the under eyes. We suggest treating the under eyes three times for optimal improvement of crepey-ness or bags.
