Why Choose Ultherapy for Facial Skin Tightening
Father time as well as some bad habits can unite to be a force to be reckoned with, bringing wrinkles, loose skin, and poor skin texture. The professionals at the Harley Institute have some tricks up their sleeves to combat these forces, though. If you are looking for a non-invasive and reliable procedure for facial skin tightening, then we have what you are looking for. Ultherapy is a time-tested, FDA-cleared process that uses ultrasound to tighten the chest, neck, brow, and chin back to their earlier conditions.

What Is Ultherapy?
There are many skin-tightening procedures and products on the market, but the biggest benefit of Ultherapy is that it is non-invasive. Ultherapy rejuvenates the skin by stimulating collagen production without the use of needles or knives. Instead, we use ultrasound energy which has been used in the medical field for over 50 years.
What Is Collagen?
We mentioned that Ultherapy stimulates collagen production, but what is collagen? Collagen is the structural protein in connective tissues and keeps your skin tighter. It is naturally found and produced in the body, but this natural production slows down over time and the skin’s ability to tighten back into shape weakens. Ultherapy stimulates and reinvigorates the body’s natural collagen supply. At the Harley Institute we always prefer to encourage natural processes and use natural products rather than cut and dig at skin.
Preparing for Your Treatment
If you have decided to get your Ultherapy treatment and get your skin’s collagen production up and running again, then call your Ultherapy provider at the Harley Institute in Atlanta and schedule a consultation. Discuss your situation, medical conditions, and desires during this session. The practitioner will also assess your skin and determine if Ultherapy may have any adverse effects.
There are no specific preparations or regimens that you need ahead of your treatment. Though, your practitioner may recommend some over-the-counter medications for your comfort. So, if the practitioner decides that Ultherapy is right for you, they will help you schedule your flexible appointment.
What You Can Expect During Treatment
Heading into a medical procedure can be nerve-wracking, but there is nothing to worry about. Your practitioner will walk you through the process and make all of the necessary adjustments. The Ultherapy treatment can last anywhere between thirty minutes and ninety minutes depending on the location; a chest treatment is quicker while neck and face procedures last a bit longer.
Your Ultherapy practitioner will begin with a face cleansing and identify target areas for the ultrasound. They will apply ultrasound gel around the target areas and use ultrasound imaging to determine optimal placement of the ultrasound energy. The ultrasound energy will feel like tiny bursts of energy being sent into your skin. This is what initiates the collage production.
All Done. What Now?
Another benefit of Ultherapy is that it has no downtime. You can return to your normal schedule as soon as you walk out of our door. Granted, some patients do experience redness, slight swelling, tingling sensations, or tenderness. These are usually temporary and mild. The mild effects such as redness should disappear in a few hours. If you experience any extreme side effects, then call the Harley Institute or your primary physician as soon as possible.
