About Ultherapy
Ultherapy is a unique, noninvasive procedure that our facial plastic surgeons, Dr. Petroff and Dr. Scott, recommend to their patients who are seeking restoration for facial wrinkles and loose skin. Ultherapy works by using focused ultrasound energy to target the deep tissues underneath the skin in order to produce rapid collagen growth. The new collagen will help present more lifted, tighter skin in the face, chin, and neck region for our Lake Oswego, OR patients. Those suffering from deep wrinkles in their face and sagging skin in their chin and neck area can schedule a consultation at Petroff Center Plastic Surgery and Medi-Spa to learn more about Ultherapy treatments.
Best Candidates
The ideal candidates for Ultherapy treatments will have:
- Minor to severe wrinkles in their face
- Sagging or loose skin around the chin and neck region
- A desire for a nonsurgical approach with natural results
- Are not planning to undergo significant weight gain or loss
Ultherapy Reviews
What to Expect
Ultherapy will be performed onsite in our Medi-Spa as an outpatient procedure. One of our medical professionals will use a handheld device to deliver the ultrasound waves over the desired areas. The process should not produce pain, but a topical anesthetic can be administered if needed. The sensation caused by Ultherapy usually entails heating of the skin and some minor prickling similar to (but less severe than) a laser procedure. The entire session typically takes 30 minutes to complete.
Anticipated Results
While Ultherapy will not produce as drastic results as a surgical lifting operation, visible results can be seen right after treatment, with the most optimal effects appearing typically in about 3 months. Multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve the ideal outcome for each patient's case. Patients can expect their collagen levels to stay at an increased rate for about 1 year following their procedure, with follow-up treatments recommended after that time period.
