Ulthermage Skies

    Overview

    Air Ulthermage is an advanced, non-invasive skin tightening and contouring treatment that delivers natural and long-lasting lifting effects. By stimulating the body’s collagen production, it effectively combats sagging skin, wrinkles, and stretch marks. Its popularity among celebrities and influencers is attributed to its ability to provide enduring results without the need for surgery or downtime.

    This treatment is particularly beneficial for addressing issues such as sagging jowls, lack of jawline definition, fine lines around the lips, eyes, and forehead, hooded eyelids, crow’s feet, and more. Whether it’s enhancing lip definition or restoring the skin's firmness, Air Ulthermage is a comprehensive solution for various skin concerns.

    Using radiofrequency (RF) technology, the procedure penetrates deep layers of the skin while ensuring the surface remains cool and protected. The latest FLX version of the device further enhances the experience by reducing treatment time by 25% and improving overall comfort. With Air Ulthermage, patients begin to see tighter, smoother skin with improved tone and texture almost immediately, with results continuing to develop over the months that follow.

    1. Epidermis: This is the outermost layer, visible to the eye. It acts as a protective barrier against environmental factors and is responsible for the skin’s texture and tone.

    2. Dermis: The middle layer, rich in collagen and elastin fibers, provides the skin with strength and elasticity. This is where most of the skin’s structural support originates.

    3. Subcutaneous Layer: The innermost layer, composed of fat and a network of collagen fibers, cushions the skin and gives it its plump, youthful appearance.

    As we age, a combination of internal and external factors contributes to the breakdown of collagen and elastin within these layers:
