During treatment, the Ulthera hand piece fires hundreds of caucused Ultrasonic points to heat and coagulate the underlying deep layers below the skin to heat and promote collagen growth, while leaving the surface unaffected. The neo-genesis of this new collagen both lifts and tightens the entire treated area of the face or the body.
