Ultherapy® - Ultrasound lifting
Skin rejuvenation and gentle skin tightening
The world's only FDA-approved ultrasound lift for skin rejuvenation and gentle skin tightening - without surgery
The latest generation of anti-ageing
Skin tightening with ultrasound: Ultherapy®
The signs of time leave their mark on all of us. Wrinkles are particularly noticeable on the face and can affect our aesthetic self-image. There are many anti-ageing treatments: Facial rejuvenation with botulinum toxin (Botox®) and hyaluronic acid fillers, autologous blood treatments (Vampire lift) or Thread lift. However, a new treatment from the USA is currently conquering Germany: ultrasound to combat ageing skin and wrinkles. In our private practice for plastic and aesthetic surgery Dr Nabavi, we tighten your facial contours in a minimally invasive way - without any surgical intervention.
Reduce wrinkles without surgery: Ultherapy® procedure
Ultherapy® is a safe treatment method certified by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As well as being used on the face, Ultherapy® can also be used for treatments on the neck, décolleté and body.
Good to know
With Ultherapy® more than 2 million treatments have already been successfully carried out worldwide.
How Ultherapy® works
Micro-focussed ultrasound is used to stimulate the formation of new collagen both in the skin and in the underlying layers. This gradually tightens sagging skin and slows down the ageing process. The full effect unfolds over several months - the tissue becomes increasingly firmer, as with a gentle facelift.
Gentle lifting with Ultherapy® is particularly suitable for mild to moderate skin sagging. If treatment is started early, skin ageing can be significantly slowed down - you simply gently turn back the clock.
Ultherapy®-treatment is particularly suitable for the following areas:
- Forehead
- Eyebrow lift
- Upper eyelids
- Smile lines and crow's feet
- Lower eyelids
- Midface
- Nasolabial fold
- Lips
- Corner of the mouth
- Chin/jaw line
- Neck
- Neckline
- and much more.
Through a combination of Ultherapy® with other aesthetic treatments such as botulinum and Hyaluronic acid can achieve particularly beautiful, natural results.
This is how the treatment works
The skin is first cleansed and the treatment areas are marked. An ultrasound gel is then applied and the handpiece is placed on the skin. The ultrasound energy acts directly on the skin and the underlying tissue and stimulates the formation of new collagen.
Patients often experience the treatment as a tingling sensation, sometimes even describing it as an electrifying impulse. Our patients usually go home after the treatment with a pleasant feeling and are full of anticipation for the final result.
After the treatment
Compared to other methods of facial skin rejuvenation, patients can resume their daily routine immediately after an Ultherapy® treatment and have no downtime.
Ultherapy® side effects
Your skin may be slightly reddened immediately after the treatment. The redness usually disappears on its own after a few hours. Slight swelling may also occur after the treatment, which may last for a few days.
The skin may also be sensitive to touch for a few weeks or show a slight tingling sensation. Rare side effects include bruising or localised numbness.
