Ultherapy

The brow lift application opens and elevates the eye area, correcting hooding and heaviness that can make you look tired or older than you feel. Treatment along the jawline and under the chin addresses early jowling and submental laxity, restoring a cleaner, more defined profile. The neck is one of the most requested Ultherapy treatment zones at our Fishkill practice, as it effectively tightens crepey, loose neck skin that creams and serums simply cannot improve.

The decolletage, the upper chest area often exposed by necklines and sun exposure, is another area where Ultherapy excels. Years of sun damage and collagen loss create fine lines and textural changes on the chest that are notoriously difficult to treat with topical products alone. Ultherapy stimulates deep collagen remodeling in this delicate area, smoothing and firming the skin for a more youthful appearance. Many of our patients choose to treat multiple areas in a single full session, addressing the full scope of laxity concerns in one visit with results that unfold naturally over the weeks that follow.

Before beginning, your provider cleanses the treatment areas and applies ultrasound gel. The Ultherapy handpiece is then placed against the skin, and the integrated imaging system displays the underlying tissue on a screen, allowing your provider to visualize exactly where the energy will be focused. You will feel brief pulses of focused ultrasound energy during the treatment, a sensation often described as tiny points of heat deep beneath the skin followed by a tingling or prickling feeling.

Comfort levels vary by individual and treatment area, and we take steps to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible, including pre-treatment medication protocols when appropriate. After the session, you may notice mild redness, slight swelling, or tenderness in the treated areas, but these effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few hours to days. There is no true downtime, you can apply makeup, return to work, and resume all normal activities immediately. Results develop gradually as new collagen forms, with initial improvements often visible within one to two months and optimal lifting and tightening results appearing at three to six months after treatment.

While some patients choose to have a follow-up session after a year or more to sustain their results as the natural aging process continues, the majority of patients are treated with just one session. This makes Ultherapy a very efficient investment in your appearance compared to treatments that require ongoing series or frequent maintenance appointments.

Ultherapy does not duplicate the results of a surgical facelift, and it is not intended to do so. What it offers is a meaningful, noticeable lift and tightening for patients who are experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity and want to address it proactively without the risks, cost, and recovery associated with surgery. It is an excellent standalone treatment for patients in their thirties through sixties who want to delay or avoid surgical intervention, and it pairs beautifully with other services here including neurotoxins, dermal fillers, and our advanced skin resurfacing treatments for a full, non-surgical rejuvenation strategy.
