How Ultherapy Can Lift and Tighten Baggy Skin

Looking your best will boost self-confidence, as does raking in the compliments from family and friends. The secret to taking control of your appearance is easier than you think. It includes a plan of prevention and rejuvenation.

At Key Laser Institute of Portland, Ultherapy is our patients’ favorite because it delivers a natural skin-lifting outcome. Plus, it is the only FDA-approved treatment that addresses the same underlying layers as facelift surgery.

This fantastic skin-tightening process employs ultrasound technology to trigger new collagen formation at various skin levels. You could say it rejuvenates the skin from the inside out. This non-invasive treatment has no recovery or downtime, making it ideal for your busy lifestyle.

Treatment Sites

Ultherapy is a versatile tightening procedure for multiple areas of concern.

Face and Eyes

As the only FDA-cleared treatment to give your face a lift with ultrasound technology, Ultherapy goes much deeper than lasers. So, if you have loose skin around your eyes, lips, or face area, but are not yet ready to commit to surgery, Ultherapy is perfect.

As we get older, production of a foundational protein called collagen diminishes. As this support gradually diminishes, it causes tissues to droop and sag. To combat this loss of collagen, Ultherapy unleashes micro-focused ultrasound to create a thermal effect on your underlying facial tissues, kickstarting collagen production for tighter, lifted skin.

Lips

Collagen loss can significantly impact lip fullness, causing them to look thinner or pressed tight. For years, injectable fillers have been the mainstay to bring back lip volume. However, prolonged dermal filler use may make lips appear unnatural and overdone.

Ultherapy’s unique ability to penetrate deep into the skin layer produces muscle and skin contraction that organically lifts the lips. In addition, the focused ultrasound energy triggers a natural response under the skin, jumpstarting the regenerative process over three to six months, producing new collagen for a fuller lip contour.

Neck

When your neck skin droops and sags, it may create the appearance of a double chin or turkey wattle. Ultherapy is highly tolerable and will restore your neck to its slender, sleek appeal. You will be confident in V-necks, spaghetti straps, and low-cut dresses.

Decolletage and Chest

This ultrasound procedure is an excellent treatment to deliver smooth, soft skin on the chest and decolletage. It eliminates chest wrinkles with the powerful, safe energy emitted by the technology. As a result, your skin in this area will look smooth, supple, and young.

Thighs and Buttocks

The non-surgical skin treatment can also lift your thighs and buttocks for a more toned and defined appearance without surgery, sutures, scars, or downtime. You will be amazed at your new, lifted contours.
