What is Ultherapy
& how does it work?
Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses micro-focused ultrasound in order to lift the skin and tighten sagging and loose skin. It is used on the neck, chin, and brow areas and is the only FDA-approved procedure for tightening skin in these areas. In other words, Ultherapy is the non-surgical alternative to a facelift.
Especially for women, the first signs of aging often appear on the upper chest area, known as the décolletage. This area of the body usually develops loose skin, age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles, and can even make you look much older than you actually are. Ultherapy is an effective skin tightening treatment Pembroke Pines clients come to Olam Med Spa for.
With Ultherapy, you no longer have to worry about these skin imperfections weighing you down. Regardless of your age, you can achieve a toned, firm, smooth, and youthful skin that gives you a radiant glow.
At Olam Med Spa, our team will go above and beyond to ensure that you have a pleasant experience with us – from consultation to the completion of your Ultherapy treatment. As a medspa that is dedicated to delivering quality care to all of our patients, our staff and medical professionals know just what to do to make you feel safe and comfortable.
What is the
procedure like?
Ultherapy follows a simple procedure that takes about 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the area to be treated. This is a non-invasive procedure that is virtually painless. You may feel some discomfort while the ultrasound energy is delivered to your skin. This is completely normal and in fact, is a positive sign since it means that the collagen-production process has been successfully initiated.
First, the area to be treated is cleaned by your medical provider and any excess oil and dirt are removed. An ultrasound gel is applied, and the device is brought against the skin, where ultrasound energy is delivered to the targeted area. When pulses of ultrasound energy penetrate the dermis, it inflicts a nominal amount of damage to cells and causes your body to respond with a healing process. This skin healing involves the regeneration of collagen proteins. The result is firmer, smoother, and more toned skin.
We understand that the pain threshold differs from person to person, so we can administer pain medication in case of any discomfort. Usually, Ultherapy on the chest area takes the shortest amount of time, which is usually about 30 minutes. The face and neck areas take longer, usually lasting about 60 to 90 minutes.
What to expect
post-procedure?
The great news is that there is no downtime required for Ultherapy. This means that you don’t have to take the day off or rest and you can carry on with your usual activities immediately after your treatment is completed.
For most patients, only one treatment session is required to achieve the results they want to see on their skin. However, depending on your skin laxity and your collagen-building process, you may require more than one treatment.

Who is an
ideal candidate?
If you identify with any of the following, you may be an ideal candidate for Ultherapy:
- You have wrinkles and fine lines on your face, neck, and chest area you want to get rid of
- You have “turkey neck”, which is loose, sagging skin around your chin and neck
- You want a more toned and firm facial skin
- You have at least mild to moderate skin laxity
- You don’t want to undergo surgery to tighten your skin
- You have realistic expectations from the procedure
Benefits
of Ultherapy
- Helps you achieve a smooth, tightened and firm skin
- Gives you a youthful appearance despite your age
- It is a simple, non-invasive procedure that requires no downtime
- It stimulates your body to undo the signs of aging through a natural process
When do results appear
& how long do they last?
While some changes can be seen in just a few weeks after the procedure, you will see optimal results in about two to three months. Most patients report that their post-Ultherapy skin lasts for a year or more.
Since the time it takes for the results to appear and how long they last depend on your own body’s collagen production, individual differences are to be expected. Moreover, your individual natural aging process also plays a significant role in dictating how long your results will last. For optimal results, make sure to schedule touch-up sessions with the team at Olam Med Spa.
