Ultherapy treatments in Edina & Bloomington

Ultherapy also referred to as a “non-surgical facelift,” lifts and tightens skin on the face, neck, and most notably, under the chin, along the jawline, and in the brow area. Using ultrasound technology, Ultherapy tackles moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, and décolleté by tightening and stimulating collagen. Skin Rejuvenation Clinic, conveniently located in Edina, is one of the top providers in the region for Ultherapy.

Although the process is non-invasive, patients often observe initial improvements shortly after the session, with more significant results appearing over the following two to three months as new collagen develops. Trust our expertise for a refreshed, youthful look without downtime.

What is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment that tightens facial and neck skin without surgery. Approved by the FDA, it uses ultrasound energy to lift and smooth targeted skin areas, diminishing lines and wrinkles. By focusing on the body’s collagen production, Ultherapy strengthens existing collagen and encourages the growth of new fibers, countering aging signs. The procedure warms skin tissue up to 5 millimeters deep, initiating a natural healing process for firmer, more youthful skin.

Why Choose Ultherapy?

Benefits of Ultherapy:

  • Non-Surgical: No incisions, avoiding surgical risks.
  • No Downtime: Resume activities instantly post-treatment.
  • Gradual, Subtle Results: Achieve a refreshingly natural look.
  • Scar-Free: Keep your skin flawless and unmarred.
  • Collagen Activation: Promotes skin’s natural firmness and elasticity.
  • Safe Process: A gentle approach to skin restoration.
  • Customized Treatment: Personalized settings for individual skin needs.
  • Youthful Revival: Tightens skin, combatting age-induced sagging.
  • Longevity: Tempers aging effects for sustained youthful radiance.

What Makes Ultherapy Different From Similar Procedures?

Ultherapy transcends lasers by penetrating the skin’s foundational layers to stimulate collagen, offering pronounced, lasting rejuvenation through fewer sessions and minimal side effects. It stands alone as the sole FDA-approved, non-invasive procedure utilizing focused ultrasound for a natural lift and skin tightening without any surface disruption.

How It Works

Consultation

An Advanced Practice Aesthetician will provide a one on one consultation to discuss your skin goals and what treatments will help you with your journey. Our specialists dedicate themselves to understanding the distinct characteristics that define you, including your skin type and personal goals. By doing so, they can custom-craft a swift and effective treatment plan specifically designed to meet your unique needs. 

Treatment Planning

Based on our conversation, we’ll create a treatment plan just for you. We’ll advise you to avoid direct sunlight and keep your body hydrated. Avoid taking NSAIDs or blood-thinning medications, including natural supplements like ginkgo biloba, vitamin E, or fish oil.   

Treatment

Your treatment will be in one of our comfortable treatment rooms. Our highly trained and experienced aestheticians will first map out your face or neck or other areas to be treated. We will apply an ultrasound gel to the skin. The device delivers the ultrasound heat in small sections at a time. We will continuously monitor your treatment on the ultrasound screen to insure the exact placement of the pulses. Newer Ultherapy protocols have improved the discomfort associated with Ultherapy. However, we offer all of our patients complimentary nitrous oxide (“laughing gas) for their comfort. Post-treatment, there’s no downtime required. You can immediately return to your usual activities. Your natural collagen regeneration process will begin to lift and tighten the treated areas over the coming months. 

Follow Up

We will schedule a follow-up appointment for 6 months after your treatment. We will address any questions regarding the treated region and ascertain if the outcomes have met or exceeded your expectations.

During treatment, our expert aestheticians will skillfully maneuver the ultrasound device across the contours of your face, focusing on specific areas. Utilizing sound waves, it precisely delivers energy into your skin’s deeper strata and surrounding soft tissues, carefully preserving the superficial layers.

What To Expect After Ultherapy

After Ultherapy, expect some initial effects like mild redness or swelling, which typically subside quickly. Optimal results develop gradually over 2-3 months as your body stimulates collagen production. To enhance recovery, protect your skin from the sun. Full benefits unfold over time, revealing firmer, more youthful skin. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a candidate?

A suitable candidate for Ultherapy is someone with some degree of skin laxity. Typically, those in their 30s and older who have mild-to-moderate skin laxity are candidates. While Ultherapy is not a replacement for a surgical facelift, there are many people who want some facial lifting but are not ready for surgery. There also are younger people who want to “stay ahead of the game,” as well as patients wanting an aesthetic maintenance option.

How many sessions will it take?

Typically, only one session is necessary.

Will I have to take off work?

No, most people can return to work the same day.

How long will the procedure take?

Approximately 20 to 60 minutes per area.

Does Ultherapy hurt?

There is typically mild-to-moderate discomfort, which we can address with Pro-Nox (nitrous oxide/ “laughing gas”) or premedicating with an oral medication.

What is Pro-Nox?

Pro-Nox is a patient-controlled analgesia delivering a 50% oxygen and 50% nitrous oxide mixture for in-office use. It takes effect in seconds, offering immediate relief from any discomfort and anxiety.

Is there pain or discomfort after the procedure?

Typically, none to just mild discomfort or “tightness”.

What is used for pain management after the procedure?

Most do not need any pain medication after the treatment. Some may elect Tylenol or Advil-type medications.

Do I need a driver?

No, you can drive yourself to and from our office.

Do I need a consultation first?

Yes.

When will I start seeing results?

You may notice a short-term “boost” immediately following your Ultherapy treatment. However, the natural process of creating new, more elastic, collagen builds over time with results improving over the course of 2-3 months and even up to 6 months.

Is Ultherapy safe?

Ultherapy is considered safe and is FDA-cleared. It uses ultrasound energy for non-invasive skin tightening, with minimal side effects, such as temporary redness or swelling. 

Are there any potential side effects or risks associated with Ultherapy?

Ultherapy, a non-invasive skin tightening treatment, may result in temporary redness, swelling, tingling, or tenderness. Rarely, bruising or numbness might occur but typically resolve quickly. 

Is there any downtime associated with Ultherapy treatments?

One of the advantages of Ultherapy is that it involves no downtime. This non-invasive treatment uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production, and patients can usually resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. 

How long do the results of Ultherapy last?

Ultherapy results typically last between 12 to 24 months, but individual results may vary based on age and skin condition. Regular touch-up sessions can help maintain results. 

Is Ultherapy FDA-approved?

Ultherapy is FDA-approved for lifting skin on the neck, chin, and brow and reducing lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.
