Do you want to restore firmer skin on the neck, under the chin, and over the eyebrows? If you want tighter skin without a facelift, we offer the gold standard: Ultherapy skin tightening treatments at our Eugene medical spa. People from Salem, Corvallis, Roseburg, and other Oregon cities trust Jewell Aesthetic Med Spa for customized treatments that get excellent results. 

What Is Ultherapy? 

Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive skin tightening procedure that uses ultrasound technology to lift the neck, skin, and brow and reduce wrinkles on the décolleté. It’s an ideal approach for creating a more youthful appearance in all areas of the face and chest without needles or surgery.  

Benefits of Ultherapy 

Ultherapy uses powerful ultrasound energy to transform the brow, chin, neck, and chest. The treatment works deep below the dermis to firm, lift, and tighten skin without harming its outer layers.  

Some of UItherapy’s biggest benefits are: 

• Natural-looking, gradual results 
• No incisions or scarring 
• No downtime 
• Excellent safety record with more than 1 million treatments worldwide 

How Does Ultherapy Work? 

Collagen is an essential building block for healthy skin, comprising roughly 70% of your skin’s protein. The skin’s foundation, the dermis, is the primary source of collagen, which helps keep your skin toned and supple. As we age, collagen production slows, and existing collagen begins to break down, resulting in loose skin. 

Ultherapy rescues your skin by jumpstarting your body’s collagen production. It delivers focused ultrasound energy to various skin layers below the surface, stimulating the body’s natural healing response. This process triggers the growth of new collagen and the strengthening of weaker collagen.

Because the healing process takes time, results don’t appear immediately. Instead, you’ll begin noticing a change after 3 to 4 months, with collagen building for up to a year. It’s an approach that gives your skin the gradually gorgeous lift you’ve been looking for! 

Ultherapy vs. Laser Skin Tightening Treatments 

Unlike skin tightening treatments performed with laser, radiofrequency energy, or other technologies, Ultherapy is unique because it leverages ultrasound imaging. With Ultherapy, we can bypass the skin’s surface to deliver energy with greater precision at optimal depths and temperatures. Ultrasound imaging allows us to better visualize and target the layers of tissue, maximizing your safety and results.  

Who Is a Good Candidate for Ultherapy? 

Anyone looking for a lift without surgery is a good candidate for Ultherapy! That means most women and men with mild to moderate skin laxity can benefit from Ultherapy skin tightening treatments at our Eugene med spa.

If you’re more concerned about your skin’s texture, complexion, or hyperpigmentation, you may be better suited to a HALO® laser treatment. Rest assured, we’ll assess your skin during your appointment and recommend the procedure that will best achieve your goals.

While Ultherapy is genuinely an exciting alternative to more invasive procedures, it can also extend the results of facial cosmetic surgery for patients who have already undergone such a procedure. 

Does Ultherapy Hurt? 

Rest assured that Hillary and Team Jewell keep your comfort top-of-mind from start to finish.  

While comfort levels vary from person to person, any discomfort experienced during Ultherapy is short-lived, with sensations only lasting a few seconds or less during each pulse of treatment. Your treatment time depends on your customized plan and the extent of the area being treated. A procedure focused on the face and neck typically takes about 60 to 90 minutes.  

What Happens After Ultherapy Treatment? 

There is little to no downtime following Ultherapy, and you can plan on returning to your normal activities within 24 hours.  

Your skin may appear flushed immediately after Ultherapy treatment, but any redness should disappear within a few hours. You may also feel mild tenderness in the treated areas. This is not only normal but also beneficial, signaling that healing and new collagen production are underway!  

Collagen gradually builds for up to 12 to 18 months. Keep in mind that results vary, and as the skin continues its natural aging process, you may need to schedule annual touch-ups with us to maintain your youthful glow. 

How You Benefit From Ultherapy Technology 

Ultherapy is scientifically proven to boost collagen, with scientific research showing that it can increase the rate of collagen production by 42% in patients with collagen types I and III– the types most often associated with aging.  

Here’s some more impressive data: In Ultherapy’s FDA trial, 9 out of 10 patients reported noticeable and significant lifting of the brow line. Their eyes appeared more open and alert, they achieved firmer and tighter skin in other areas of the face and neck, and they observed that their skin was smoother and more even-toned.
