For a natural, gradual and lasting tightening effect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ulthera\u00ae is the only facial HIFU system incorporating a real-time ultrasound imager, enabling our doctors or expert therapists to precisely target the deeper layers of the skin. A single treatment, no social eviction, natural results that gradually reveal themselves over 3 to 6 months<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available in the three Forever Institut clinics in Geneva<\/a>, Lausanne<\/a> and Nyon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

What is Ulthera\u00ae (Ultherapy)?<\/h3>\n
\n

Ulthera\u00ae, marketed under the Ultherapy\u00ae brand, is a medical device that uses high-intensity micro-focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deeply firm and tone the skin without surgery. Developed by Merz Aesthetics, this technology is the first and only to combine a real-time ultrasound imaging system with the emission of therapeutic ultrasound energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

In practical terms, Ultherapy precisely heats the tissues to 60-70\u00b0C at three distinct depths: 1.5 mm (superficial dermis), 3.0 mm (deep dermis) and 4.5 mm (superficial musculoaponeurotic layer, or SMAS). This last depth corresponds exactly to the plane that surgeons treat during a facelift. Under the effect of heat, existing collagen fibres retract immediately, while a process of neocollagenesis is triggered to produce new collagen and elastin over the following months.<\/span><\/p>\n

What sets Ulthera\u00ae apart from other HIFU devices on the market is precisely its integrated imager: the practitioner can view the targeted skin layers in real time, guaranteeing precise treatment, safe treatment and maximum results.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Who is Ulthera\u00ae treatment suitable for?<\/h3>\n
\n

Ultherapy is aimed at anyone with sagging skin on the face, neck or d\u00e9collet\u00e9, or on certain parts of the body such as the buttocks, knees, etc., who wants to correct this sign of ageing without resorting to surgery. The best candidates are people aged between 30 and 60 with a noticeable but moderate loss of tone.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the age of 30: a preventive approach to Ultherapy<\/b><\/h3>\n

From the age of 30, the natural production of collagen begins to slow down. Ulthera can then be considered as a preventive treatment to maintain skin tone and slow down the appearance of the first signs of ageing. Forever Institut doctors recommend an annual maintenance session from this age onwards for patients who wish to anticipate the effects of ageing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Between 40 and 60: a visible lifting effect<\/b><\/h3>\n

This is the age group where Ultherapy gives the most spectacular results. When the loss of firmness of the lower face, neck or eyelids becomes visible, Ultherapy can help restore a redefined oval, firmer skin and a more youthful, dynamic appearance, without surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

The benefits of Ultherapy<\/h3>\n
\n

Deep skin firming<\/b><\/h3>\n

Ulthera\u00ae's micro-focused ultrasound is delivered at depths of 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm. At 4.5 mm, the SMAS is reached, the same layer targeted during a surgical facelift. Under the effect of heat (60-70\u00b0C), the collagen fibres retract immediately, producing a slight tightening effect that is immediately perceptible. Then, gradually, the body manufactures new collagen that restores the skin's support framework.<\/span><\/p>\n

Natural, lasting results<\/b><\/h3>\n

Ultherapy stimulates your body's own natural production of collagen. The result is extremely natural: your skin is remodelled from within, with no artificial changes to volumes. The effects develop over 3 to 6 months, the time it takes for the body to produce new collagen, and last between 12 and 18 months.<\/span><\/p>\n

No social exclusion<\/b><\/h3>\n

Ultherapy is a non-invasive method: no surgery, no recovery time. You can resume all your activities as soon as the treatment is over.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Results and duration of the Ultherapy effect<\/h3>\n
\n

Immediately after the session, a slight sensation of firming is perceptible. The real effects of Ulthera gradually become apparent around 3 months after the treatment, as new collagen forms. The final result is generally visible 6 months after the procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ultherapy effect lasts between 12 and 18 months. Additional treatments can be carried out to slow down the natural ageing process. The range of results varies according to the age, skin quality, lifestyle and metabolism of each patient.<\/span><\/p>\n

To boost results, the doctors at Forever Institut recommend combining Ulthera with <\/span>Radiesse\u00ae injections<\/span><\/a>, which also stimulate collagen production by complementary mechanisms.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
