Ultherapy to lift and tighten skin

the treatment involves using a handheld device that delivers ultrasound to trigger a regenerating response in the skin. new technology means it can target skin at the most effective depth, where it stimulates the body to produce collagen and elastin, which in turn leads to skin firming. each zap feels like a spit of hot fat within your skin.

a single treatment should deliver a subtle lift that appears two to three months hence. that result should last around a year.

Rosie’s veRdict? Heeding dr Mountford’s suggestion on combatting GrF, i combine Ultherapy with fillers. this means i can’t be totally sure how much of the very definite lift i see can be attributed to Ultherapy alone, but there is definite tightening.

Pain FactoR? there’s no denying it’s ouchy. each zap is tolerable but there are lots of them so it can feel a bit overwhelming.
