Ultherapy is an effective, natural cosmetic procedure that lifts the skin without requiring invasive surgery. At the NY Facial Plastic Surgery Center, we are pleased to provide ultherapy to patients looking to improve their appearance easily without surgery. While this technology is innovative, Dr. Corinne Horn is very experienced with this procedure and capable of helping you obtain the results you are looking for.
Ultherapy rejuvenates the skin with ultrasound technology that targets layers of muscle, skin, and superficial wrinkles. Treating the targeted area can be very precise areas, and it uses the right temperature to help the collagen-building process as well. The ultrasound energy invigorates elastic tissue and collagen, resulting in firmer skin with fewer wrinkles and less sagging. Here’s what to expect before and after ultherapy.
