Ultherapy^®

Queens Crossing Dermatology is proud to offer the acclaimed non-surgical lifting procedure, Ultherapy^®, in New York.

Ultherapy^® is the only FDA-approved non-invasive treatment for lifting the skin on the neck, chin and brow. Ultherapy^® uses focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen deep within the skin without downtime. The result? Tighter, better-fitting skin, even on the neck!

Natural. Non-invasive. No downtime.
What is Ultherapy^®?
Ultherapy^® is the only non-invasive treatment approved by the FDA for lifting the skin on the neck, chin and brow. Ultherapy^® uses focused ultrasound to lift and tighten loose skin over time, without any downtime.

How is Ultherapy^® different from other cosmetic procedures?
Ultherapy^® is the only non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses focused ultrasound to stimulate the growth of new collagen deep within the skin. The production of new collagen occurs over time, so results can become more apparent over three to six months. The procedure takes only about an hour for most patients, and there is no downtime.

It also is the only procedure to use ultrasound imaging, which allows us to actually see the layers of tissue we target during the treatment and ensure the energy is deposited precisely to where it will be most effective.

Does it hurt?
A recent software upgrade called “Ultherapy^® Amplify” now affords a more comfortable procedure. While comfort thresholds vary from patient to patient, most patients now report that the procedure is quite tolerable. If and when any discomfort does occur, it happens while the ultrasound energy is being delivered. This sensation is temporary and is a positive signal that the collagen-building process has been initiated.

We take measures to make the experience as pleasant as possible, and patients leave comfortable and excited about the benefits to come.

How long does it last?
Patients treated with Ultherapy^® still have fresh young collagen after a year’s time following the procedure, but skin continues to age. Future touch-up treatments can help keep pace with the aging process, which varies by individual.

Are there any side effects?
There may be slight redness for up to an hour or so following the treatment, and a small percentage of patients may have slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature.
