What is skin tightening?

Skin tightening at Texas Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to stimulate new cell growth and tighter, younger-looking skin without pain, invasive treatments, incisions, or downtime. 

The skilled Texas Ultherapy experts are highly trained in the Ferrer Facelift Technique, a patent-pending treatment that’s faster and less painful than traditional skin-tightening procedures.

Skin tightening works on your body and face, including your brow, neck, chin, chest, and other areas. The results typically last a year or longer. 

How does nonsurgical skin tightening work?

Nonsurgical skin tightening treatments use micro-focused ultrasound energy to create a thermal effect under your skin, jump-starting the body’s ability to produce new collagen and elastin. This method causes tighter, smoother, younger-looking skin over time because collagen keeps the skin toned and firm. It breaks down as you age, but Ultherapy reverses age-related tissue laxity. 

What are the benefits of nonsurgical skin tightening?

Noninvasive skin tightening at Texas Ultherapy offers an array of aesthetic benefits, including:

• Tighter skin
• Increased collagen and elastin production
• Reduced laxity
• Smoother, younger-looking skin
• Fewer lines and wrinkles
• Greater self-confidence

Ultherapy is safe and FDA-approved. It’s a highly effective way to tighten your skin without surgery or risks.

Who is a candidate for nonsurgical skin tightening?

Nonsurgical skin tightening is designed for patients with tissue laxity associated with aging who desire a younger appearance and healthier skin. To determine if you’re a candidate for this treatment, the Texas Ultherapy experts examine your skin, review your medical history, and discuss your desired results before customizing an Ultherapy treatment plan. 

What should I expect during skin tightening treatments?

Nonsurgical skin tightening is a painless, relaxing treatment. You rest in a comfortable chair while your provider cleans and applies gel to the treatment area. They use a handheld Ultherapy device to emit ultrasound waves into aging tissues to stimulate new cell growth. You might feel warming or tingling sensations during each treatment. 

Skin tightening treatments at Texas Ultherapy often last 30-90 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas treated.

What happens afterward?

After nonsurgical skin tightening, treated skin may be temporarily swollen, red, flushed, or tender. You can resume a typical daily routine immediately because there’s no downtime after Ultherapy skin tightening. While you may notice immediate improvements in your skin’s appearance, it often takes several months before you experience significant anti-aging results.
