What is Ultherapy®?
Ultherapy® is an FDA-approved, non-surgical, non-invasive skin-tightening treatment that uses ultrasound (focused sound waves) and the body’s own natural healing process to lift and tone loose, sagging skin. It specifically targets the deep tissues below the skin that are typically addressed in a facelift, brow lift, and/or neck lift—but without surgery. Following treatment, the skin will actually lift and tone over time.
It is also the only procedure available that uses ultrasound imaging, which allows Dr. Ellen Turner to actually see the layers of tissue being targeted during treatment, and ensures the energy is deposited precisely where it will be most effective. With Ultherapy®, there’s no downtime, no foreign substances, no radical change—just a healthy revitalization of tissue on the inside for a natural, noticeable effect on the outside. The beauty of Ultherapy® is that you can go about your day after a single, 60- to 90-minute in-office procedure.

Am I a good candidate for Ultherapy®?
A good candidate for Ultherapy® is someone with skin laxity that is mild to moderate. Patients with excessive skin laxity or considerable sun damage may not be good candidates. While Ultherapy® is not a replacement for surgery, there are patients who want some lifting to look more refreshed and toned, but are not yet ready for facelift surgery. Younger patients may also want to retain their youthful appearance before significant aging occurs, and they are also excellent candidates for the procedure.
Dr. Turner is committed to quality patient care and diligent when it comes to the best procedure for each patient. Consultations are comfortable, informative and respectful, and she makes a point to listen to concerns and seriously evaluate patients for appropriate interventions based on specific clinical needs and personal preferences. To talk to Dr. Turner about Ultherapy®, you can book an appointment online or call the office to make an appointment at (214) 373-7546.
When will I see the results of Ultherapy®?
Some patients may experience an initial tightening effect, but results will unfold over the course of two to three months, and some patients have reported continued improvement for up to six months, including lifting of the skin on the neck, under the chin, and on the brow. While ultrasound does not duplicate the results of surgery, Ultherapy® has proven to be an excellent alternative for those who are not yet ready for surgery.
Is Ultherapy® painful?
For most patients, Ultherapy® is not a painful procedure. However, all patients are different, and some patients may experience a little discomfort or stinging sensation on the skin while the ultrasound energy is being delivered. Dr. Turner and her staff will take the necessary measures to ensure patient comfort and satisfaction during and after the treatment.
