Question: I just read about a new alternative to the browlift that combines ultrasound imaging with focused ultrasound therapy to provide a noninvasive lifting of the skin. Will your practice be performing this soon and is it very effective?

Answer: Quintessa Aesthetic Center was one of the early adopters of the Ultherapy technology and we actually had the 9th unit in the United States, so we have some of the most experience in the world. Ultherapy does use focused ultrasound to create new collagen deposition, which in turn tightens and lifts the brow, face, and neck areas in a very effective manner. It has absolutely no downtime and about 95% of our patients can see an effect in the brow area after a single treatment. The effects are typically subtle when compared to surgery but due to the fact that this is a noninvasive, no downtime procedure, it is truly amazing technology.
