Non-invasive aesthetic treatments have gained popularity around the world for their ability to rejuvenate skin without the need for surgery. Among these treatments, Ultherapy stands out for its non-surgical facelift capabilities, using ultrasound technology [1] to tighten and lift the skin. In Singapore, Ultherapy is a popular choice due to its proven results, minimal downtime, and the growing demand for non-invasive beauty solutions. This treatment is becoming common among men and women alike.
As we age, our skin gradually loses its elasticity due to a decrease in collagen and elastin production, which are essential proteins that keep the skin firm and supple. Factors such as UV exposure, gravity, and lifestyle choices like smoking can accelerate this process, leading to sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines.
Ultherapy addresses these concerns by using ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. This non-invasive treatment helps tighten and lift sagging skin, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance without the need for surgery that requires downtime for healing and recovery.
Ultherapy is a FDA-approved non-invasive skin tightening procedure that originated in the United States of America. It uses ultrasound energy to lift and tone the skin. The treatment focuses on the deeper layers beneath the skin's surface, stimulating the production of collagen, which helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness.
Collagen production [2] is crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. As collagen levels increase, the skin's structure is strengthened, leading to improved skin tone and texture. This enhancement results in a more even, youthful appearance, as collagen helps to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. Additionally, increased collagen can improve skin hydration and plumpness, further enhancing the overall radiance and smoothness of the skin. By stimulating collagen production, treatments like Ultherapy promote healthier, firmer, and tighter skin.
The Ultherapy process results in a gradual, natural-looking lift, with improvements typically visible within two to three months. It effectively targets signs of aging such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. The treatment delivers ultrasound energy to deeper tissues without harming the surface, promoting a gradual, natural-looking lift over time. It's commonly used on areas such as the face, neck, and décolletage to combat signs of aging. This distinguishes it from other skin tightening treatments like radiofrequency (RF) and laser treatments, which primarily target the skin's surface. Ultherapy can safely heat deeper layers of the skin (up to 4.5mm) of at least 60 degrees to stimulate collagen regeneration that lasts up to a year.
Ultherapy uses patented DeepSee visualization technology to provide real-time imaging of the skin’s layers during the procedure. This allows the doctor to precisely target the ultrasound energy to the optimal depths for effective treatment. By using this imaging technology, the treatment can be more accurately tailored to each patient’s specific needs, improving overall outcomes and safety.
Ultherapy allows doctors to see beneath the skin's surface and deliver ultrasound energy to targeted tissue layers, avoiding bones and blood vessels. This precise approach enables them to identify the areas that will respond best to treatment and customise a plan tailored to each individual's facial anatomy. This ensures effective and personalised results for skin tightening and lifting.
Pre-Treatment Consultation: Before you start the procedure, the first step is to book a consultation with a certified practitioner, such as a dermatologist or aesthetic doctor. This is essential to determine if Ultherapy is suitable for your skin type and concerns. During this session, your doctor will assess your skin and discuss the desired outcomes as well as your treatment goals.
The Procedure: The Ultherapy session involves the doctor using an ultrasound device to deliver focused energy into the skin. The procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Patients might experience mild discomfort as the ultrasound energy is delivered, but this is generally well-tolerated.
Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, there may be some redness and swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately. It’s recommended to avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen to protect the treated areas.
Suitable candidates for Ultherapy are typically individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who notice sagging skin, wrinkles, or a loss of firmness, particularly in areas such as the face, neck, and décolletage. Ideal candidates are often in their 30s to 60s, seeking a non-surgical option to improve skin tightness and lift. It's also suitable for those looking to maintain youthful skin and delay more invasive procedures. However, Ultherapy is not ideal for individuals with severe skin laxity or certain medical conditions affecting the skin.
Combining Ultherapy with other treatments can enhance overall results and address skin concerns, especially for those with multiple skin concerns such as scarring, pigmentation, and dull skin tones.
Planning a combined treatment approach involves consulting with an experienced specialist to customise a plan tailored to your skin's needs.
The cost of Ultherapy in Singapore varies depending on the treatment area and the number of sessions required. On average, the cost for the Ultherapy treatment starts from SGD 1,799. Larger areas like the full face and neck are more expensive compared to smaller regions like the brow. Some clinics offer financing options or payment plans, but Ultherapy is generally not covered by insurance as it is a cosmetic procedure.
