LEGACY OF ULTHERAPY AS THE GOLD STANDARD
To establish guidelines for optimizing microfocused ultrasound with visualization treatment, the consensus group analyzed a variety of factors including FDA-cleared indications, MOA, treatment personalization, the positioning of microfocused ultrasound within broader aesthetic practice, and safety.2
The benefits of Ultherapy's microfocused ultrasound have been established since 2004, and this unique technology has undergone extensive clinical and market evaluation ever since, making Ultherapy one of the most trusted brands in cosmetic practice. This ongoing commitment to providers and patients is embodied today in the Gold Standard designation and the backing of Merz Aesthetics, who continue to expand the Ultherapy platform and provider support.2-5
Highlights of the Gold Standard designation include1-3:
- A non-invasive option with a well-established safety profile, and efficacy supported by the largest body of clinical data currently available among nonsurgical skin lifting procedures.
- FDA-cleared to lift the skin of the brow, neck and under the chin, and improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.
- Visualization both before and during treatment, a feature exclusive to Ultherapy, which enables precision targeting, patient customization, and enhanced comfort.
- Microfocused energy application that heats tissues to the optimal temperature for aggressive neocollagenesis.
