Ulthera approved by the FDA

Ulthera has been a hot topic on our blog and is a technology that we've been tracking for a long time. I'll quote our post on this in November of last year:

"They have some major ultrasound patents that they are using to combine facial imaging and tightening into one package. First, they use the ultrasound handpiece to create a sonogram looking into the patient's skin and everything underneath. After reviewing that information, the same handpiece can be adjusted to send low levels of heat energy to a precise depth below the outer layers of the face.

The energy causes to tighten, and then grow new collagen over time. Pending FDA approval, this could be really good for the "SMAS" (i.e. the facial suspension system of the face that is targeted by traditional facelifts), the sub-skin muscular layer, and also the neck."

Stay tuned, we're getting this machine soon and I'm volunteering to be its first patient! We will post live on Twitter and upload pictures weekly to show my progress.
