Facelift without surgery? Ulthera’s new technology is now FDA approved and treating the early signs of aging with no scars or downtime. Dr. DiBernardo explains in this video.
Approved by the FDA in September 2009, Ulthera is sweeping the nation as the newest non-invasive facelift technology.
Ulthera works through focused ultrasound. Focused ultrasound allows doctors to look deep inside the skin and treat areas without surgery. “We can actually see the layers, the skin, the fat, the muscle,” says Dr. Barry DiBernardo. “And then we target the muscle layer that we pull in a face lift, and it locks in on that layers and fires little pulses which tighten and shrink that layer.”
It works the same as a facelift in that when doctors lift the bow, cheek or jowl line, they are targeting the muscle layer under the skin–not the skin itself–and pulling it tight. “[Ulthera] targets that layer which we would otherwise do in a face lift, and tighten it with no downtime, no anesthesia.” Ultrasound accomplishes the same thing by targeting that muscle but acting through the skin to shrink the muscle and draw it tighter.

This procedure works best for patients with the beginning signs of aging, not those who have lots of excess skin and muscle. “Those who are not that bad, who are starting to have loose structures, who have the jawline diminished,” says Dr. DiBernardo. “Those would be very good candidates, and they like the fact that they don’t need surgery.”

Jessica responded:
you can get a chin reduction. i don’t know if that’s the same thing uhotgh. you’d have to ask your doctor or a plastic surgeon for details and price. but why would you want to change your face shape. it is round because it suits you and you were made for that face shape. i think plastic surgery is terrible and you can suffer from absolutely terrible consequences if you do go under the knife.
