 System OverviewThe Ulthera® System is an engineering achievement that has adapted time-honored medical ultrasound to address unmet needs in the aesthetic arena. With the system, physicians will now have a new category of cosmetic procedure with which to counter the affects of aging on the skin - Ultherapy®. The Ulthera® System, with its patented DeepSEE® technology, combines ultrasound imaging with ultrasound therapy in a single "see and treat" device. This ingenious combination of ultrasound capabilities allows the user to achieve a noninvasive, thermal coagulative effect in soft tissue with precision and consistency at an unprecedented depth - all with extraordinary safety. The Ulthera® System is a platform that will accommodate upgrades and future applications. It is configured with three primary components: the control unit, the handpiece, and the DeepSEE transducers. Control unit This is the information center for the system, which houses the touch screen with which the user interacts with the device. Its tabletop design allows it to either fit in tight spaces or be used with a cart for maximum mobility. Handpiece The handpiece is the receptacle for the transducers delivering the energy and contains the controls for activating the imaging and therapy states. Multi-patient transducers The multi-patient transducers are used for both high-resolution imaging of tissue to a depth of 8mm and for creating linear patterns of discrete thermal coagulation points. The two different transducers deliver varying amounts of energy to a prescribed depth, based on the particular region of the face to be treated. Ultherapy® OverviewFirst came fillers in the Eighties, then lasers, then Botox--all still useful in their own way. And there's always been surgery. Now there's Ultherapy®-a face and neck treatment that creates a brand new category in aesthetics-non-invasive tissue lifting. For the first time ever, Ultherapy enables practitioners to direct sound waves not only into the skin but deep under the skin to the same tissue addressed in surgery. This gently heats the tissue to lift and tighten loose skin without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin. Besides the visible effects of lifting and tightening, there is also an invisible result from Ultherapy with the creation of new collagen, which helps the skin maintain its youthfulness. Ultherapy lifts, tightens, and tones loose skin to counteract the effects of time and gravity. One of the first effects of gravity is that the brows descend, and the eyes start to appear smaller. Ultherapy will lift the brow, which in turn reduces the excess skin on the lids, opens up the eyes and gives a more refreshed appearance. The beauty of Ultherapy is that it is a 30 to 60 minute procedure that uses the body's own subtle healing response to gently, gradually-and reliably-restore memory to the skin and its underlying tissue. Ultherapy requires no special recuperation or preparation and typically only takes one treatment to get a meaningful response. Patients enjoy some initial effect immediately following the procedure, but the ultimate lifting will take 2 - 3 months, as tired collagen is rejuvenated and supplemented with new, stronger collagen. There isn't a replacement for the dramatic effects of surgery, but Ultherapy offers a natural, 'no downtime' approach to noticeably improving lax skin.
