Ultherapy uses two special types of ultrasound. The first emits ultrasound, just like in the maternity unit ultrasound machines. This is called DeepSEE. These ultrasound waves allow your practitioner to see what is immediately under the treatment area. Once the practitioner is satisfied that he or she is in the right position (i.e. will not hit any blood vessels or bone) the Ultherapy machine is then able to start treatment, using ultrasound waves at very precise depths. The ultrasound treatment initiates the body’s natural response to stimulate the growth of fresh, new collagen and elastin.
