Loose skin anywhere is a sign of aging, but it can be particularly visible on the neck and face. While creams and serums help with the outer appearance of the skin, they cannot do much to significantly firm, tighten, or lift sagging skin. Because our bodies produce less collagen and elastin as we age, skin’s laxity, sagging, and drooping continue to get worse with each year.
Ultherapy is the only non-invasive treatment cleared by the FDA for lifting the skin on the neck, chin, and brow. Ultherapy works by sending focused ultrasound energy deep below the skin to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production and counteract the effects of time and gravity. By utilizing ultrasound energy, this non-surgical treatment for the face, neck, and décolletage causes the body’s own natural healing process to kick in and lift, tone, and tighten lax skin. Immediately following treatment, a slight tightening is noticeable, and the effects continue to improve for the next several months as the body’s collagen production remains heightened.
