What is Ultherapy?
What is Ultherapy and how it helps tighten skin without surgery
Many patients come to the consultation asking what Ultherapy is because they have heard of a treatment that tightens skin without cuts or scars. Ultherapy is a medical procedure that uses microfocused ultrasound to act on deep layers of the skin and support tissues, achieving a lifting effect without surgery.
To fully understand what Ultherapy is, it is important to know that it is not a laser or radiofrequency. The device emits ultrasound energy at very precise points at different depths. This energy generates controlled heat that activates collagen and produces tissue retraction over time. All of this is guided by ultrasound, allowing the doctor to see exactly where they are working.
The areas where Ultherapy is most beneficial are the lower third of the face, the jawline, the neck, and the brow area. In selected patients, it can help slightly lift the tail of the eyebrows, improve neck sagging, and better define the facial contour. It is a very useful option for those who feel their face is "drooping" but are not yet ready for or in need of surgery.
Another important characteristic of Ultherapy is that its results are progressive. The maximum effect is not seen on the same day of the procedure. The body needs time to produce new collagen and reorganize the support fibers. Generally, results become visible between the third and sixth month, with a natural effect and no abrupt changes.
During the session, the patient may feel heat and some discomfort in the treated areas, but measures are taken to make it tolerable. After Ultherapy, most people resume their daily activities without needing time off. There may be mild swelling or temporary sensitivity, which usually subsides within a few days.
In Medicina Estética Benavides we use Ultherapy as part of a comprehensive rejuvenation approach. After explaining what Ultherapy is, we assess whether it is advisable to combine it with other procedures, such as hyaluronic acid fillers to restore volume or botulinum toxin to soften dynamic wrinkles. This achieves a more complete result.
If you are interested in knowing if this treatment is right for you, the ideal is to schedule a consultation where we can explain in detail what Ultherapy is, review your medical history, assess your degree of sagging, and design a personalized plan that fits your expectations and lifestyle in Bogotá.
