Ultherapy is used between the eyebrows, on the neck, under the chin and on the decolletage. The procedure takes less than hour. There is no downtime. Some improvement is seen immediately, but the full effect is seen in 2-3 months as the natural production of collagen continues. Most people only require one treatment. The results are softened wrinkles and fuller, youthful-looking skin.
