Ultherapy® is an FDA-approved, non-surgical skin tightening procedure that utilizes ultrasound waves to stimulate collagen production and strengthen and tighten facial skin. Collagen is a protein naturally produced in the skin and plays a big role in skin tightness. As we age, the body produces less and less of this protein, which causes the skin to lose strength, and with it, the ability to withstand the effects of gravity. Ultherapy® specifically targets the decreasing amount of protein in the skin by using ultrasound waves to strengthen your existing collagen and stimulate the production of fresh, new collagen.
