Nowadays, we’re bombarded with cosmetic treatments that promise impressive although often unrealistic results. Botox, surgery, and other invasive procedures are often costly, can be painful, and are usually followed by a long recovery time.
Facelifts are fast becoming the most sought-after cosmetic procedure that promises to tackle sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. Though effective, traditional facelifts are invasive, meaning the surgeon must cut into or puncture the skin in order to carry out the procedure. By altering or eliminating the tissue beneath the skin, plastic surgeons are able to tighten loose skin and effectively “pull back” sagging skin which in turn provides clients with smoother and youthful-looking skin.
Despite the effectiveness of these treatments, many people are understandably hesitant to go under the knife in order to achieve the results they want. If you’re looking to achieve the results of a traditional surgical facelift without having to undergo invasive surgery, then the Ultherapy treatment may be the perfect alternative for you.
The Ultherapy Facelift promotes skin lifting and collagen production, which helps achieve tighter skin without having to go under the knife. At Xanadu Med Spa, we offer the Ultherapy treatment to our clients who are desperate to get rid of those fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin by undergoing a non-surgical and non-invasive procedure.

What Does the Ultherapy Facelift Involve?
The Ultherapy Facelift offers skin tightening results on the face, neck, and décolleté without having to undergo surgery.
By using ultrasound energy, the skin is quickly tightened and toned. During treatment, ultrasound waves are transmitted into the skin which stimulate the cells deep in the layers of the skin. These cells then react to the focused ultrasound energy to boost the body’s natural elastin and collagen production.
Due to the new collagen production in the skin, skin laxity is reduced, and the skin tightens naturally, giving results that are very similar to a traditional Facelift.
How Does Elastin and Collagen Production Improve the Skin?
Collagen and elastin are types of proteins that the body naturally produces. Present in hair, bones, skin, and tendons, elastin and collagen help to promote wound healing, hair growth, and skin elasticity, amongst other things.
As we age, our body’s natural collagen production decreases. That’s why, the older we get, the more the skin tissue sags and loses its elasticity, which leads to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. No cosmetic procedure can prevent the natural aging process. However, many treatments nowadays can help reduce the signs of aging significantly.
As the ultrasound energy is transmitted into the skin’s layers during the Ultherapy procedure, the skin responds by promoting collagen and elastin production. In turn, skin tightening is promoted, which helps to turn back the clock on the aging process.
What Are the Effects of Low Levels of Collagen on the Skin?
As we get older, our body produces less and less collagen and elastin. The early signs of aging include the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as the skin naturally starts to lose its elasticity.
The signs of aging are usually first visible in the cheeks, neck, and jawline. Some obvious signs of the aging process include:
- Loose jawlines.
- Creases, lines, and wrinkles.
- Drooping eyelids.
- Sagging facial muscles.
What Can Ultherapy Treat?
Ultherapy can treat a range of skin issues that can cause a person to look older quickly and effectively. Some of the many benefits of this treatment include:
Reduces Skin Laxity
The most obvious benefit of the Ultherapy treatment is its ability to turn back the clock. Fine lines and wrinkles caused by natural aging or sun damage often make us look older than we actually are. As loose skin is tightened and new collagen and elastin are stimulated, the face and neck area immediately looks smoother and younger.
Customizability
Unlike other facial treatments that are typically designed to improve the overall appearance of the face, Ultherapy treatments can be customized to tackle various areas of the body such as the face (including the lips and brow line), neck, jaw area, and even the décolleté. Ultrasound therapy can also be altered depending on how deep into the skin layers the ultrasound energy needs to travel. In other words, a member of our team will be able to determine the level of ultrasound energy so that the rays can be absorbed into the skin’s deeper layers.
Non-Invasive
Skin lifting without going under the knife has never been easier! Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment, and recovery time is much shorter than those opting for plastic surgery. The procedure stimulates the body’s natural collagen-building process, so it’s the ideal treatment for those looking for natural-looking results that surgery cannot always guarantee.
Safe
The Ultherapy treatment is the only FDA-approved non-invasive procedure for lifting the skin around the eyebrows, chin, and neck. No harmful substances are used during the treatment, and clients are informed in detail about all the information available on the treatment before their first appointment.
Quick
Unlike most surgical procedures, which require patients to stay overnight in a hospital or clinic after treatment, the non-surgical facelift is quick and requires no recovery time. That means that our clients can have the treatment done and leave our clinic the same day feeling and looking fabulous without having any downtime!
Long-Lasting Results
The Ultherapy treatment requires just one single treatment session for results to last a long time. Most aesthetic treatments require multiple sessions in order to see visible results. However, those undergoing the Ultherapy procedure don’t have to schedule multiple follow-up appointments after their treatment. In fact, one treatment session can lead to results lasting up to 12 months.
Natural Looking Results
Unlike surgery and injectable treatments that can affect the expression of the face and lead to an unnatural appearance, the Ultherapy treatment relies on the natural collagen and elastin in the body to help promote skin tightening. Because of this, results are much more natural looking.
How Long Does Each Session Last?
How long a session will last during an Ultherapy Facelift appointment depends greatly on the treatment area as well as the desired results of the client.
For example, those hoping to target multiple areas of the body, including the face and neck, will require longer appointments than clients who wish to target one specific area of the body, for example, the décolleté.
On average, a session usually takes approximately 60 minutes to complete.
When going through your treatment plan, one of our estheticians can determine how many sessions you will require or how long one treatment will take to achieve your desired results.
Am I A Suitable Candidate?
The Ultherapy treatment can be used on anyone looking for a skin-tightening treatment that doesn’t require any surgery.
Those looking to reduce the signs of aging are the perfect candidate for this type of treatment program. The procedure offers a lifting and tightening effect without having to rely on dermal fillers or other invasive cosmetic surgery techniques to get the desired results.
When Will I Start Seeing Results?
Soon after their appointment, many clients notice their skin looking firmer and more toned. During the regenerative process, the production of new collagen may take up to a few days to be noticeable in the skin.
How soon results become noticeable depends greatly on each individual. Those showing the early signs of aging, including faint fine lines, may see results faster than those with deeper lines and wrinkles.
On average, patients may have to wait up to 3 months to see optimal results.
Post-Treatment Plan
After you’ve finished treatment, you’ll soon be able to return to carrying out normal activities such as going back to work and doing exercise. In order to maintain the results of the treatment for as long as possible, we recommend the following post-treatment plan:
- Avoid sun exposure – it’s no secret that direct and consistent sun exposure can age the skin. We highly recommend avoiding staying out in the sun for long periods of time and advise patients to use sunscreen with a high SPF level.
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle – maintaining a healthy lifestyle that involves regular exercise, and a healthy, balanced diet is key to maintaining healthy skin. A diet rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and protein can significantly improve the condition of the skin.
- Take care of the skin – in general, taking care of the skin is the best way to ensure results are as long-lasting as possible. Following a skincare routine that includes cleansing, moisturizing, and attending follow-up appointments at the clinic will greatly improve the texture, tone, and elasticity of the skin over time.
What Are the Side Effects?
As the Ultherapy treatment is a non-invasive procedure, there are virtually no side effects that follow the treatment.
Most patients experience slight redness after treatment, but this is usually mild and only lasts for a few hours.
Slight swelling may be apparent after treatment. However, this usually subsides after an hour or two.
Is It Safe?
The Ultherapy treatment has been approved by the FDA as a non-surgical alternative to the traditional facelift.
The treatment relies on ultrasound imaging which has been used in the medical industry for over 50 years, so you can rest assured that all technology and equipment used in the procedure is completely safe.
