ultherapy

Before you come in for your Ultherapy treatment, we ask that you remove your makeup and gently cleanse the area you’re getting treated. Although Ultherapy is comfortable for some patients,  feel free to ask us about numbing cream to make your experience completely painless. If you elect to have numbing cream, please be prepared to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your appointment. We’re looking forward to seeing you!

After your dermatologist or physician assistant has assessed your skin, your practitioner will calibrate the Ultherapy machine for your specific treatment parameters. With numbing cream, most of our patients feel little discomfort.

Because of the expertise of our dermatologists and physician assistants, our patients often tell us that our Ultherapy treatments have minimal discomfort and generate youthful results.

After your Ultherapy treatment, you might be a little itchy, red or swollen in the area treated, but these side effects should subside in several days or so. Depending on the area treated, you might also bruise. Our patients generally see noticeable results within a few days after treatment. As the creation of new collagen takes time, your results may continue to improve for up to six months post-treatment.

After Ultherapy, your dermatologist or physician assistant might recommend a non-comedogenic moisturizer and sunscreen.  Protecting your skin from the sun is really important. For your convenience, we carry premium broad-spectrum sunscreens sourced from around the globe from EltaMD, Isdin, and more. We are looking forward to seeing you and helping you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Ultherapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that lifts and tightens your skin for a more youthful you. Ultherapy is great for treating loose skin on the face and neck, loss of firmness, fine lines, wrinkles, and your skin’s texture and tone. Our dermatologists and physician assistants have been working with Ulthera’s unique ultrasound for many years and are highly dedicated to helping you ‘turn back the hands of time’ without an incision.

Ultherapy’s method of skin tightening is non-invasive and does not create any indications that a procedure has been performed. For these reasons, many consider it to be a “lunchtime lift” with virtually no downtime.

At Salonika Medspa, we’re dedicated to making sure your Ultherapy treatment is equally comfortable and effective. For your comfort, ask us about numbing cream if you know you have sensitive skin. If you elect to have a numbing cream, we will apply a topical numbing cream 30 minutes before your treatment so you feel almost nothing.

We recommend Ultherapy for our patients who have mild to moderate skin laxity (looseness). Everyone has unique skin, so results and amount of treatments do vary. Those with a sufficient reserve of collagen will benefit most from the procedure. Typically, candidates for Ultherapy are 30 and older, but some younger patients are trying to stay proactive with their anti-aging regimen.

The beauty of Ultherapy is that only one treatment is usually needed. Depending on your unique skin, our dermatologists and physician assistants will recommend more treatments if we feel it would benefit you.

Patients generally see noticeable results within days after treatment. As the creation of new col-lagen takes time, your results may continue to improve for up to six months post-treatment
