The Plastic Surgery Channel
Share
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."
