Laser and Wellness Center is proud to offer Ultherapy, a highly advanced, nationally acclaimed face and neck lifting procedure here in Vancouver, Washington! Ultherapy is an FDA-approved procedure and uses ultrasound technology to determine the level of treatment needed for the target area, then gradually treats the skin by strengthening and toning it from deep within. Our patients in Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR can take advantage of this non-invasive treatment to achieve tighter, rejuvenated skin!
What Is Revolutionary About Ultherapy?
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to stimulate the growth of new collagen deep within the skin. By using focused ultrasound, a treatment can go to deeper tissue levels to produce not only additional collagen building, but also tightening and lifting these deep structures. Ultherapy can treat at a depth of 4.5 mm, unlike previous technology which was limited to about 2.5 mm. Also, the ultrasound imaging permits the patient and clinician to view the deeper structures to ensure energy is deposited precisely where it will be most effective. Before treatment begins, we take advantage of the ultrasound imaging by using it to see the layers of tissue we are targeting and determine the where the energy needs to be deposited to achieve the most effective results.

Am I a Good Candidate for Ultherapy?
This treatment is a good fit for those who have skin that has begun looking and/or feeling less firm. Maturing skin often starts with a lowered eyebrow line, sagging eyelids, and a general look of laxity around the neck and chin. Most often, those in their thirties and older who have these characteristics are good candidates for Ultherapy.
