Fort Lauderdale, FL ( prfree.org ) August 22, 2013 - Over time, skin can show its age in a variety of ways, including sagging and losing its firmness. Ultherapy is an innovative, nonsurgical procedure that helps combat signs of aging, according to noted dermatologist, and Ultherapy practitioner, Dr. Roger H. Stewart of Skin Center in Fort Lauderdale.

Ultherapy is currently the only FDA-approved nonsurgical skin tightening procedure, using only ultrasound and the body's natural healing process to lift, tone, and tighten loose skin in problem facial areas, including on the brow, neck, and under the chin.

The procedure targets deep layers of tissue, which are normally adjusted during a facelift, and heats them with the system's sound waves, producing collagen to make patients appear more youthful. "Ultherapy stimulates the deep structural layers of the skin with the safe energy of ultrasound," says Dr. Stewart, noting that the process does not disturb the surface of the skin.

Dr. Stewart says that the Ultherapy treatment takes just 30 to 60 minutes in the doctor's office. "The procedure involves no downtime, no recovery period, natural-looking results, and minimal side effects," Dr. Stewart adds. Though Dr. Stewart notes that, while the procedure does not duplicate the results of a surgical face lift, Ultherapy gives patients visible improvements, without the added cost, or health risks, associated with surgery.

Ultherapy is growing in popularity, and has received notable media coverage, with the product being featured on TV shows such as "The View," "Home & Family," and "Extra!" as well as in magazines such as "W," "Prevention," and "Details."
