Ultherapy

Introduction

Ultherapy is an innovative non-invasive treatment exclusively available at Nakedhealth in Wimbledon, South London. As the only procedure cleared by the FDA for lifting and tightening skin on the lower face, brow, neck and décolleté, Ultherapy stands at the forefront of non-surgical aesthetic solutions.

This revolutionary treatment is favoured by numerous celebrities including Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Christie Brinkley and Tess Daly, who value its ability to enhance natural beauty without surgery. It particularly allows for targeted treatment of specific areas requiring additional care, whether it’s the neck, jaw, forehead or eye area.

About the treatment

Ultherapy is a sophisticated treatment that utilises micro-focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. What makes Ultherapy truly unique is its ability to target the deep structural layers of the skin using ultrasound imaging and visualisation, without disrupting the skin’s surface. Unlike laser treatments that typically only treat superficial skin (around 1mm in depth) using light energy, Ultherapy’s ultrasound technology bypasses the surface, resulting in minimal downtime after the procedure.

Most patients require only one treatment, though some may benefit from additional sessions depending on their skin laxity, biological response, and individual collagen-building process. The procedure is particularly suitable for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity, typically ranging in age from 30s to 60s, though candidacy is determined by skin quality rather than age. The ideal candidate is someone whose skin is beginning to feel and look less firm and who desires a more natural approach to counteracting the effects of ageing.

Benefits, results and expected outcomes

Ultherapy delivers remarkable results by effectively lifting and tightening loose skin, creating a more defined jawline and jowl area, elevating the brow to awaken the eyes, and significantly improving skin texture and tone. The treatment stimulates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production, resulting in a gradual lifting effect that provides a more youthful appearance without the risks associated with surgical procedures.

Patients can expect to see some initial lift immediately following treatment, but the ultimate results develop over 2-3 months as new collagen and elastin replace the old tissue targeted during the procedure. A single Ultherapy treatment can provide lasting effects for over a year in many cases, making it an excellent option for those seeking long-term improvements.

The non-invasive nature of Ultherapy offers significant advantages, including minimal downtime and the flexibility to target specific areas of concern. Additionally, as the natural ageing process continues, touch-up treatments can help maintain results, allowing patients to age gracefully while preserving their natural beauty.

Ultherapy represents an ideal solution for those seeking noticeable improvements in skin firmness and appearance without resorting to more invasive procedures, offering a perfect balance between effective results and minimal disruption to daily life.

Ultherapy – Frequently Asked Questions

How many Ultherapy® treatments will I need?

Most patients need one treatment. However, based on the degree of skin laxity, the biological response to the treatment and the individual’s collagen-building process, some patients may benefit from additional treatments. Because skin continues to age, future touch-up treatments can help patients keep pace with the body’s natural ageing process.

How does Ultherapy® differ from laser treatments?

Ultherapy® uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production in the skin, resulting in a gradual lift over 2-3 months.

Lasers rely on light energy, which typically only treat superficial skin (around 1mm in depth) and are not FDA-cleared or CE mark certified to lift the skin. Lasers often result in downtime after a procedure.

Ultherapy® ultrasound energy bypasses the surface of the skin, which means minimal downtime is usually require after the treatment. Your aesthetic practitioner will advise you on the best treatment for you.

When will I see the results of Ultherapy® and how long will they last?

You may see some initial lift, but the ultimate results will take place over 2–3 months, as the growth of new collagen and elastin replaces old tissue targeted by the treatment.

A single Ultherapy® treatment can give a lasting effect for over a year in some people and your practitioner will advise on the likely outcomes for you.

What is the typical age range for an Ultherapy® candidate?

Typical Ultherapy® patients range in age from 30s-60s, but those who are older or younger may also be candidates.
An Ultherapy ® candidate is not determined by age, but rather by skin quality. A good candidate for Ultherapy® has mild to moderate skin laxity where the skin begins to feel and look less firm.

What is unique about Ultherapy®?

Ultherapy® is the only aesthetic procedure that uses micro-focused ultrasound imaging and visualisation target the deep structural layers of the skin without disrupting the skin’s surface.

Ultherapy® stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, creating a gradual lifting effect.

What our customers say about Ultherapy

★★★★★

“Jenny is excellent, and I am looking forward to continuing my electrolysis treatments with her. I felt she really took the time to make sure I understood the treatment, what would happen, recovery expectations and best practices, and how best to prepare for subsequent sessions. I have also had consistently excellent interactions with the front desk team from my initial inquiry to my arrival. Lovely team and lovely facility.”
