Now, India gets its first US FDA-cleared non-invasive facelift technique. What once involved surgery and coping with surgical scars for a long time, is now just an ultrasound away, that too without a single incision. More than 50-60 cosmetic dermatologists have attended the workshop.

Ultrasound energy has been safely used in the medical field for over 50 years. And the Ultherapy procedure is the best way to pay homage to beauty.

Merz Pharmaceuticals is deeply devoted to the art of aesthetics and, thus, presents this conclusive procedure to enhance natural beauty and prevent signs of ageing. Building on more than a century of healthcare expertise and scientific legacy, Merz Pharmaceuticals offers one of the most comprehensive product portfolios in the aesthetics market.

Dr Soma Sarkar, Cosmetic Dermatologist, Mumbai says, “Ultherapy is the only non-invasive procedure, which is US FDA-cleared, to lift the skin on the neck, under the chin and over the eyebrow. It can also improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the décolletage and can help you achieve a fresher, more youthful look from your brow to your chest.”

Dr Inder Raj S Makin, Associate Professor at A.T. Still University of Health Sciences (ATSU), as well as Adjunct Professor, Arizona State University (Bioengineering). Dr. Makin is co-founder of Ulthera, Inc., Guided Therapy Systems, LLC, and Xthetix, Inc., Says, “Since its launch 6 years ago, Ultherapy has grown into a global leader. The numbers tell their own story: over 500,000 patients have been treated and over 3,000 systems have been sold globally, more than 100 patents have been filed, published or issued, over 50 clinical studies have been conducted and over 40 papers have been published on the subject.”

Manju Garg, Country Manager, Merz India Healthcare Private. Ltd says, “Merz India Healthcare Private. Ltd is working towards getting a complete portfolio of aesthetic products In India very soon”

The science behind Ultherapy

In the inflammatory phase, Micro-Focused Ultrasound with Visualization (MFU-V) creates a thermal coagulation point (TCP). TCP begins the natural wound healing process. The compromised tissue is absorbed by the body. In the proliferative phase, new collagen is deposited. And in the remodeling phase, healthy and organized collagen fibers continue to be deposited and reorganized resulting in the lifting of the skin.

The effects of Ultherapy build gradually. The immediate experience may be slight lifting and toning as well as tighter, firmer feeling skin. In the first month, along with these effects, the skin may acquire a smoother texture. In the third month and beyond, there is additional lifting and toning of the skin, better fitting skin with openness around the eye and an improved contour.

There is no downtime required after an Ultherapy procedure. You can return to your normal activities immediately after your procedure without any post-treatment restrictions or requirements. The skin might appear flushed at first, but the redness disappears within a few hours. A face and neck procedure takes about 60 to 90 minutes and a chest procedure takes approximately 30 minutes. Noticeable improvements take place over 90-180 days.

Ultherapy is a great alternative for those who are not ready for surgery or for patients looking to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery.
