Ultrasound energy delivered via a treatment called Ultherapy employs sound waves to boost collagen stores under the skin’s surface, firming skin.

Ultherapy gives the collagen a kickstart putting structure back to the skin, which is what gives the skin its youthful bounce and glow… And best of all there wouldn’t be any down time. I could just go about my day afterwards if I wanted. That’s something that really attracted me to it.

Collagen-stimulating Ultherapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound to lift and tighten loose skin.

The supermodel, who says she’s never had fillers or injections to achieve her wrinkle-free complexion, does use one non-invasive procedure that her doctor revealed she swears by! “Paulina is a huge fan of Ultherapy.

“Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to heat tissue below the skin, stimulating collagen formation to lift and tighten the brow, chin or neck for a more youthful-looking contour. It works best on those who only need moderate lifting and do not have excessive sagging. Results are visible after three months…”—New York plastic surgeon Craig Baldenhofer, MD”

Once a year I do an Ultherapy—I’m a spokesperson for them, and I really think that it’s a great thing. Ultherapy is a machine that has a wand that goes across your face, and it sends ultrasound waves to the inner layer of your skin. It slightly heats it up, and then the skin responds by creating more collagen and elastin.

“There is only one device on the market that is FDA-cleared to lift the brows, under the chin and neck, and that’s Ultherapy. It works by using tiny focused cones of ultrasound that are placed under the skin and heat our collagen.

The amazing thing about Ultherapy is that it’s noninvasive, requires no cutting or stitching and can never look ‘too much.’” -Dr. Deanne Mraz Robinson

An advantage of this downtime-free treatment is that your doctor can visualize the deeper layers of the skin before the energy is discharged precisely where it needs to go. “Most patients begin to see visible improvement in sagging, skin laxity, crepey appearance and horizontal wrinkles across the neck in about a month,” says Dr. Stanley Kovak of Kovak Cosmetic Center in Chicago, IL.

When loose skin is making you look older than you really are, but surgery isn’t in the cards, noninvasive Ultherapy uses ultrasound to help lift and tighten skin for a more youthful contour.
