Ultherapy Treatment in St. Louis, MO
What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is an FDA-approved treatment using ultrasound driven technology and energy that results in tightening of the skin and underlying tissue. Because the treatment causes tissue regeneration, it provides a natural and gradual improvement in appearance.
Ultherapy is the only FDA-approved method to lift and tighten skin above the eyebrows, under the chin and the neck. It has also been recently approved to be used to improve wrinkles and lines on the upper chest or décolletage as well. Ultherapy is a great way to achieve a natural, youthful look with non-invasive techonology.
Non-surgical Technology
Using the power of ultrasound, Ultherapy transforms the skin on the chest, chin, neck, and brow. It’s been used in the medical field over 10 years and in over 400,000 treatments around the world. In order to focus on the most needed areas, Ultherapy uses ultrasound therapy and imaging to allow the doctor to deliver the best method to boost collagen in the targeted skin layer.
Dr. Madhavi Kandula is a St. Louis Ultherapy specialist.
What To Expect
Collagen Production Stimulated
Ultherapy stimulates your collagen production by targeting ultrasound energy at the deeper layers of the skin. In many cases, patients can avoid or prolong the need for surgical intervention.
Gradual Results and No Downtime
The results of Ultherapy usually appear over a 3-6 month period as your collagen production works to tighten and lift skin where the procedure was performed. Ultherapy is a great alternative for individuals not ready for a face-lift or invasive surgical procedures.
The Ultherapy procedure is designed to provide non-invasive ultrasound driven energy at the perfect temperature to the targeted location. It bypasses the surface of your skin, unlike surgery and lasers, to deeper targeted treatment areas which stimulate collagen production.
Before Your Treatment
First, schedule an Ultherapy consultation with Dr. Kandula. During this session, Dr. Kandula will answer questions, examine your skin, and determine if you are a candidate for Ultherapy.
During Your Treatment
Dr. Kandula will apply ultrasound gel and place the Ultherapy applicator against your skin. She will then use ultrasound imaging to see within the skin layers to determine where the ultrasound energy should be focused. Once that is determined, Dr. Kandula will deliver the ultrasound energy at the targeted areas.
During Ultherapy, you may feel various amounts of energy in specific areas which are being targeted for treatment. Your level of discomfort may vary depending on depending on treatment sites. The duration of your treatment will vary based on the area of treatment and your specific treatment plan. A neck and face procedure takes about 60-90 minutes, while chest treatments take about 30 minutes.
After Your Treatment
Dr. Kandula will apply ultrasound gel and place the Ultherapy applicator against your skin.
