Ultherapy In Melbourne

Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy that targets deeper layers of the skin. It may be considered by patients with concerns such as lines on areas like the face, neck, or chest. Outcomes can vary between patients.

Before the procedure, the treatment area is cleaned, and a layer of ultrasound gel is applied. A handpiece is then placed against the skin, allowing ultrasound energy to be delivered in a controlled way.

The technology focuses ultrasound waves at specific depths beneath the skin surface. This creates a warming effect in those layers, which can support changes in skin structure. Ultherapy can be applied to areas such as the face, neck, or chest, depending on the patient’s concerns.

Ultherapy is different from laser treatment as it uses sound energy to bypass the skin's surface. This allows access to deeper layers of the skin, which other procedures cannot reach. Most lasers rely on light energy, meaning they can only reach the foundational layers of the skin.

• Redness
• Swelling
• Tenderness
• Bruising
