Ultherapy

And nowhere can you get the results you want than from the board-certified dermatologists at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology in San Diego, California. In fact, our experts were among the first practices in San Diego to offer this cutting-edge, non-surgical skin-lifting procedure, having participated in the clinical trials necessary to receive FDA approval for the device. We remain committed to rejuvenating your appearance with safe, effective treatments like Ultherapy.

The Secret to Ultherapy

Ultherapy is a noninvasive procedure that uses the safe and gentle effects of focused ultrasound to tighten facial and neck skin. The focused ultrasound energy targets the deep layers of tissue traditionally targeted in surgical facelifts.

Without incisions or damage to your skin, Ultherapy’s ultrasound waves deliver focused heat to a targeted

specified depth, which stimulates the production of collagen, resulting in an increased amount of collagen in the skin. As your skin gradually firms and tightens, you end up with a firmer appearance that looks natural.

Ultherapy is the ONLY device with both an indication for “lift” AND an indication for the neck and submentum. What does this mean? Your skin is lifted and tightened by the gentle heat that the tissue absorbs without cutting or disrupting the skin. Furthermore, as new collagen is created, your skin retains its youthfulness.

In 2015, Cosmetic Laser Dermatology earned the classification of Ultra Premier Treatment Provider for Ultherapy. Our skin-tightening and -lifting experts are elite providers for this cutting-edge treatment,  putting us among the top 10% in the country.

Ultherapy Non-Surgical Neck Lift

Time and gravity can cause noticeable lines (platysmal bands) and saggy skin to develop around the neck, eventually creating the dreaded jowls and ‘turkey neck.’ While a surgical neck lift is a viable option for restoring tighter, firmer skin along the neck, Ultherapy is a revolutionary non-surgical procedure that helps lift and tighten loose neck skin for a more youthful appearance.

Our expert dermatologists use Ultherapy to strategically target the loose skin and folds along your neck and jawline to meet your unique needs and goals. The treatment is customizable and can be combined with additional anti-aging treatments, such as Kybella, Botox/Dysport/Xeomin, and a variety of facial fillers for total facial rejuvenation.

Ultherapy Eye and Brow Lift

One of the most noticeable signs of aging is drooping, sagging skin that develops around the eyes. As the facial skin loses volume, the eyelids and brows may gradually droop lower, crow’s feet wrinkles become more prominent around the corners of the eyes, and under eye bags can grow puffier. Fortunately, Ultherapy is a non-invasive method for tightening the skin and even the muscles around the eyes, producing a “micro-lift” effect on the eyelids and eyebrows, softening fines lines and wrinkles, and lifting and tightening baggy under eyes.

At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology in San Diego, our skilled and versatile dermatologists can combine Ultherapy with additional anti-aging treatments, such as Botox/Dysport/Xeomin and dermal fillers, to refresh and revitalize the eyes without surgery.

Ultherapy Lip Lift

With each passing decade, we lose collagen and fatty tissue in our lips, which can cause our lips to sag and look thinner.

Like most people looking to create a fuller lip, you don’t want it to look fake or overdone. That’s why, at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology in San Diego, we use the revolutionary Ultherapy treatment to provide you with a non-invasive lip lift.

To help you get the youthful and full lips you want, our expert dermatologists use Ultherapy to target the muscle and skin around your mouth to stimulate collagen production. The muscles and skin contract, which gives your lips a lift that looks natural.

Ultherapy Knee Lift

Even with diet and exercise, as people age, the skin around the knees can start to sag and wrinkle. If you feel that your days of wearing shorts, skirts, or dresses are over because you are too self-conscious about your knees, Ultherapy is an excellent solution. The non-invasive ultrasound energy triggers collagen production in the skin to gradually and naturally tone and tighten the knees.

For smoother, firmer skin around your knees,

Ultherapy Butt Lift

As with other areas, aging often causes the skin around the buttocks and upper legs to become less toned and firm. These two areas can be stubborn and difficult to change with only diet and exercise.

Surgical butt lift options are available, but if you’re not ready to make a surgical change, the body contouring experts at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology are happy to provide you with a non-invasive butt lift procedure using the revolutionary Ultherapy treatment. By tightening and firming the skin, along with stimulating the production of new collagen, your buttocks and upper legs look naturally lifted and more toned. We often combine this procedure with other collagen stimulators like Sculptra for even better results. Newly FDA-approved Cooltone can also be added to Ultherapy, in order to define muscles in the buttocks. 

Experience Revolutionary Neck Skincare with LaserLift

If you have neck skin that is sagging and affecting your overall appearance, we offer another combination treatment at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology: the LaserLift, which combines Ultherapy with laser skin resurfacing. The unique LaserLift gives you a visibly firmer and younger-looking neck that looks fantastic.

Ultherapy for Excessive Sweating

If you’re one of the millions who suffer from hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating, the versatile Ultherapy treatment could be the non-invasive solution you’ve been looking for.

Traditionally, this excessive sweating has been managed by certain medications, antiperspirants, Botox, and even surgery. However, Cosmetic Laser Dermatology is proud to offer Ultherapy to manage axillary (underarm) hyperhidrosis.

The gentle ultrasound energy is targeted into the layer of skin where your perspiration glands are located. These glands are heated until they are destroyed, which reduces the sweating that can both affect your social life and damage your clothes.

Chest  Rejuvenation with Ultherapy

Breast rejuvenation or augmentation usually brings to mind invasive surgery with incisions, resulting scars, and painful healing. This is indeed an ideal option if you want dramatic breast enhancement.

However, because we know many patients who are considering breast rejuvenation neither need nor want such a solution, we have another one – a combo treatment of Utherapy and Radiesse or Sculptra.

We combine the skin-tightening, collagen-building properties of Ultherapy with the volumizing and collagen-building benefits of Radiesse or Sculptra for much less invasive breast lift and rejuvenation. There is no need for surgery, which means you endure no incisions or scars.

What you enjoy is improved breast shape and perkiness.

Ultherapy for Minor Breast Sagging

For minor breast ptosis (sagging), Ultherapy is a great option. By stimulating collagen production safely and non-invasively, the natural healing properties of your body kick into gear to tighten and firm your skin. Because the ultrasound energy penetrates deep into the layers of structural support, the results can improve the appearance and perkiness of the breasts.

While it’s true that the effects are not as dramatic as those of surgery, Ultherapy is an attractive, viable alternative if you’re looking for a natural, non-surgical, ‘no downtime’ approach to noticeably improved lax skin.

Results and Side Effects

If you’re a busy person, one of the major benefits of Ultherapy is that there is no downtime. Most patients we see at our San Diego practice tolerate the treatment well. If you prefer to ensure optimal comfort, you can choose to have nitrous oxide and/or intramuscular or oral anesthesia. Side effects such as redness, itching, and tingling might last for several days, but it should be mild and not interfere with your life.

The skin tightening effects are noticeable almost immediately and then gradually improve for several months before delivering the effects you want for another 12-18 months.
