FDA-Cleared Non-Invasive Lift

Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared non-invasive procedure that has approval to lift skin on various parts of the face. Ultherapy lifts and tightens the skin on the neck, under the chin, and on the brow, as well as improves lines and wrinkles on the décolletage and lower to mid-face.

Natural Results | No Downtime

Ultherapy is a patient favorite because of its ability to deliver natural-looking results. By stimulating your body's own collagen production over the course of 6 months, Ultherapy gradually enhances your appearance, ensuring that the results look effortlessly natural—never strange or overdone. Despite its powerful and effective technology, Ultherapy requires no downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately after treatment.

Safe and Effective

Ultherapy is safe and effective when performed at The Dermatology and Laser Group. The procedure is performed by a powerful device that can potentially cause complications when completed in spa type settings where an appropriate physician is not present. At The Dermatology and Laser Group all procedures are directly supervised or performed by a board-certified dermatologist.

There are many FDA-cleared indications for Ultherapy on the face, neck, and decolétté. Additionally we use Ultherapy off-label to tighten skin throughout the body. Areas we use Ultherapy include:

Brow Area: lifting of eyebrows
Eye Area, Upper Lip, and Cheeks: improvement of lines and wrinkles and tightening of skin
Double-Chin Area: tightening and lifting of the skin under the chin area (submental area)
Neck: lifting, tightening, and improving lines and wrinkles of the neck
Décolleté: improvement of lines and wrinkles of the décolletage
Body Areas: we also use Ultherapy to tighten skin on the abdomen and thighs, especially above the knees

Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound technology to lift and tighten below the surface of the skin, providing natural-looking results without the need for surgery. The Ultherapy procedure is ideal for individuals seeking a more youthful appearance without the downtime and risks associated with traditional cosmetic surgery.

Ultherapy also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face, neck, and body.

The Science Behind Ultrasound Skin Tightening

Ultherapy works by targeting specific depths of skin tissue, stimulating collagen production, and providing a natural lift, making it a non-surgical alternative to a traditional facelift and neck lift. Unlike laser treatments that use light energy to target superficial skin layers, Ultherapy uses sound energy to penetrate deeper into the skin tissue, achieving more comprehensive and effective results.

This innovative approach allows for significant skin rejuvenation without the need for invasive procedures like a surgical facelift.

How Does Ultherapy Work?

To fully appreciate Ultherapy, it's essential to understand its innovative approach. Ultherapy harnesses ultrasound technology to reach precise depths within the skin, stimulating collagen production for a natural lift.

Targeting the Right Skin Depth

The key to Ultherapy’s effectiveness lies in its precision. With the innovative Ultherapy handpiece we are able to see the depth of skin that we are targeting. We are able to precisely deliver the ultrasound energy to enhance collagen production in both the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer and the dermis. The SMAS is a layer of collagen located just beneath the skin and is responsible for the face's overall contour and firmness. Targeting the SMAS produces a lifting and tightening effect, and targeting the dermis improves skin texture, fine lines, and wrinkles. By targeting specific skin layers, it ensures that the ultrasound energy is delivered exactly where it's needed, resulting in a more comprehensive and effective treatment compared to other options.

Stimulating Collagen Production

Ultherapy stimulates your body’s natural collagen production by delivering focused ultrasound energy to heat and produce healthy inflammation in the skin. Collagen is then produced in three stages:

Inflammation (immediately following treatment): Starting from treatment time to 70 days post treatment, white blood cells called macrophages come to the treated areas and release proteins called growth factors. These growth factors stimulate proliferation of new cells such as fibroblasts that promote repair and remodeling of tissue.
Proliferation (within hours after treatment): Starting the night of the treatment, fibroblasts will synthesize new collagen (mostly type III collagen) and other proteins to rebuild the collagen matrix (the scaffold upon which new tissue growth occurs).
Maturation (3 weeks to 1 year after treatment): In the last step of neocollagenesis, type III collagen is gradually replaced by type I collagen, which forms strong crosslinks and provides structure and support to your skin.

Achieving a Natural Lift, Skin Tightening, and Smoother Texture

The production of collagen in deeper layers leads to a lifting and tightening effect of the skin. More superficial collagen production in the dermis helps improve fine lines and wrinkles.

At The Dermatology and Laser Group, all of the Ultherapy procedures are directly performed by or supervised by board-certified dermatologist, Arash Akhavan, MD. Dr. Akhavan and the team at The Dermatology and Laser Group were one of the first practices to offer Ultherapy in New York City.

Safe and Effective Treatments

Ultherapy is the only non-invasive device that is FDA-cleared to produce a non-surgical lift of multiple areas of the face and neck. It achieves these results through use of powerful and precise ultrasound based technology. Because of the great power in the Ultherapy device, incorrect usage can lead to serious complications. Ultherapy should therefore always be performed under the direct supervision of a board-certified dermatologist. At The Dermatology and Laser Group, all Ultherapy procedures at our clinic are performed under the direct supervision of Arash Akhavan, MD.

Managing Discomfort

The most common complaint about the Ultherapy procedure is discomfort. The compassionate staff at our clinic considers your comfort during treatments one of our main priorities. We make Ultherapy more comfortable with use of things such as deeper penetrating prescription strength numbing creams, vibration devices, Zimmer coolers, and even Pro-Nox analgesic gas.

Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to produce collagen at precise depths of skin. This lifts the skin on various areas of the face and neck, tightens the skin, and smooths fine lines and wrinkles.

Other benefits of Ultherapy include:

There is no downtime with Ultherapy making the procedure perfect for busy professionals.
Patients benefit from long lasting results with Ultherapy, with improvements lasting 1-2 years.
There is no sun sensitivity with Ultherapy, making it the perfect procedure year round.
Ultherapy can be combined with other procedures for additive benefits.

Ultherapy is generally well-tolerated, but like any cosmetic procedure, it can have potential side effects. Most commonly, patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area. Some individuals may also notice slight bruising or a tingling sensation, which usually resolves within a few days. In rare cases, numbness or more prolonged discomfort can occur, but these effects are typically mild and temporary.

In order to decrease the risk of adverse events it is best to have your Ultherapy procedure performed at a center where the procedure is directly supervised by a board-certified dermatologist specializing in the procedure.

I continue to be impressed with the services at The Deramtology and Laser Group and with Dr. Arash Akhavan in particular! This was the best results I have ever had with Botox in NYC. My results with EmFace are also great. My skin feels more smooth and my face feels lifted. The best cosmetic practice in New York City by far.

I normally never write reviews but I think this is important to share! I became a patient of Dr. Akhavan to reduce the pigmentation and texture of significant acne scarring on my back.Using techniques such as microneedling, growth factors, chemical peels, steroid injections the scarring has significantly improved and the treatment course is not even over yet. I am so happy to have a doctor who is extremely efficient, kind, and patient, listening to my concerns and offering the best treatment available. I highly recommend Dr. Akhavan to anyone seeking procedural microneedling and any other skin concerns.He is the best!!

Contacted and scheduled an appointment online at a time that was convenient for me. Advised upfront of the consultation fee and available parking garages in the area. Upon my arrival I was greeted courteously and professionally. Wait time was minimal and I was greeted by a medical assistant who formally checked me in and explained the procedure and any concerns. The physician then came in and introduced himself and explained the procedure and again asked if I had any concerns. I opted to go for the procedure [masseter Botox for relief of issues caused by bruxism or teeth grinding]. Minimal pain with injection. Told to not touch injection site for 4 hours. I would highly recommend this practice. In fact, I have already passed on the info to my dentist, orthodontist and my private physicians. Will be going back in 6 months to get a second injection.

Very cooperative very knowledgeable, Supportive staff

Are you ready to lift, tighten, and define?

Each year as we age, our body loses collagen. Collagen is what gives our skin bounce and strength, which is why Ultherapy is a great option! It stimulates your own body’s collagen production that can be targeted to treat areas that notoriously lose elasticity “first” including the face, neck, under eyes and brows.

The first step to Ultherapy is setting up a consultation, because each treatment is personalized depending on the treatment areas you’re wanting to address!

Non-invasive, single session, and zero downtime. What are you waiting for?!

Happy to give this beautiful patient (with an even more beautiful personality) our signature NATURAL results!

The secret to delivering great natural rejuvenation is combining different aesthetic tools together effectively, and not relying on any one technique too heavily. We work with our patients regularly and come up with long term strategies to work naturally towards their goals. By combining “a little of this, and a little of that” we address all the different causes of aging such as loss of musculoskeletal volume, loss of elasticity, sun damage, and shifting distribution of fat pads. Thus we avoid an unnatural appearance that is frozen (too much Botox), overinflated (too much filler), or over tightened/skeletal (over reliance on surgery and/or energy based devices).

A sampling of the procedures we combine for rejuvenation:

-Sun Damage/Texture: Laser resurfacing, IPL, micro needling, peels, facials, skincare, Botox, PRP
-Elasticity/Tightening: lasers, Ultherapy, radiofrequency
-Loss of Volume: Fillers, (and in the very near future devices that build muscle back up)
-Shifting Fat Pads: fillers, threads, ultherapy, RF contouring

*here we combined lasers, RF, Ultherapy, microneedling, and injectables
