Ultherapy® is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that lifts and tightens the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the chest. The amazing results of this advanced skin tightening treatment are similar to those of a facelift, all without surgery and extensive downtime.
As we age, our collagen production declines, and the amount of subcutaneous fat continues to decrease over time. Aging, sun exposure, heredity, hormone changes, gravity and even lifestyle factors (smoking, weight loss, etc.) can all contribute to the loss of facial volume. And, as the volume decreases and the skin is no longer “plumped”, sagging skin and deepening facial lines and wrinkles develop.
Fortunately, state-of-the-art Ultherapy skin tightening at Silkey Skin MD can remedy this problem by lifting and tightening the skin on the face and neck. Ultherapy uses safe, non-invasive ultrasound energy, which has been used throughout the medical field for more than 50 years. The ultrasound waves stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen. Ultherapy skin tightening also incorporates traditional ultrasound imaging, allowing the doctor to actually see the layers of tissue as they are being treated, ensuring the ultrasound energy is delivered exactly where it is needed.
If you are bothered by sagging, drooping skin on the face, neck, chin, eyelids, or chest, schedule a consultation at Silkey Skin MD. We’ll help you turn back the clock with Ultherapy!
Ultherapy is the only non-invasive treatment approved by the FDA for lifting the skin on the neck, chin and brow. Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to lift and tighten loose skin over time, without any downtime.
Patients treated with Ultherapy still have fresh young collagen after a year’s time following the procedure, but skin continues to age. Future touch-up treatments can help keep pace with the aging process, which varies by individual.
There may be slight redness for up to an hour or so following the treatment, and a small percentage of patients may have slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature.
The majority of patients only need one treatment, however, some may benefit from more than one treatment depending on how much laxity they have and their body’s own biological response to the ultrasound and the collagen-building process. Silkey Skin MD in Kaysville, UT provides a free 3 month booster treatment for the areas treated. This is because Dr. Silkey believes in getting great results by optimizing the collagen deposition process.
Ultherapy is the only non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses focused ultrasound to stimulate the growth of new collagen deep within the skin. The production of new collagen occurs over time, so results can become more apparent over three to six months. The procedure takes only about an hour for most patients (depending on treatment areas), and there is no downtime.
It also is the only procedure to use ultrasound imaging, which allows us to actually see the layers of tissue we target during the treatment and ensure the energy is deposited precisely to where it will be most effective.
Dr. Silkey takes great pride in offering a “no to minimal discomfort” setting. We offer topical anesthesia and if desired, premedication.
Dr. Silkey underwent the full procedure without any medication. This was to get the full effect of how “painful” it could be. Dr. Silkey felt that while at times it was uncomfortable, this was limited to only certain zones.
In our hands, the whole procedure can easily be tailored to your specific pain tolerance and pain medication can be given if desired.We take every measure to make the experience as pleasant as possible, and patients tell us they leave comfortable and very excited about the benefits to come!
