As we age, our skin begins to lose its elasticity and starts to sag. Wrinkles form as skin loosens due to decreased collagen production. While this is a natural part of aging, today’s advancements in medical dermatology and non-surgical skin treatments allow us to control these effects more effectively. Many people seek facial rejuvenation from leading dermatologists in Los Angeles, but traditional options often involve invasive procedures, significant pain, side effects, and long recovery periods.
Since its introduction in 2009, Ultherapy has revolutionized face and neck rejuvenation. No longer are facelifts, laser treatments, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion the only solutions for a youthful appearance. Dr. Daniel Behroozan offers this advanced, non-invasive clinical dermatology procedure that delivers remarkable results without the risks associated with other treatments.
Ultherapy Los Angeles
Ultherapy uses advanced ultrasound skin lifting technology, which has been safely used in the medical field for over 50 years. This technology allows board-certified dermatologists to see deep within the skin layers and target ultrasound waves precisely where they are needed for lifting, tightening, and rejuvenating the skin.
During the procedure, your doctor will move the Ulthera device across the targeted area of your skin. Ultrasound waves send heat into the inner layers of the dermis, without causing damage to the surface of the skin. The heat causes the tissue to contract, which stimulates the body to produce new collagen, the protein that provides elasticity and firmness to our skin. It naturally depletes with age, but its growth can be stimulated by a number of techniques, including ultrasound waves.
Ultherapy in Los Angeles is FDA-approved for use on the face and neck. It can enhance specific areas or provide overall lifting and firming. Nearly all adult patients seeking improvement in loose or sagging skin are candidates, though a consultation with a leading dermatologist is the only way to determine if the treatment is right for you.
The procedure is simple and convenient. Most patients experience little to no discomfort, though some may feel mild stinging or burning. For sensitive patients, an over-the-counter pain reliever can be suggested, but rarely is anything stronger needed. Treatment time ranges from 20 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the area being treated. Afterwards, patients can immediately resume normal activities. Mild redness or swelling may occur but typically resolves within an hour. For these reasons, Ultherapy is often called the ideal “lunchtime” dermatology procedure.

Ultherapy FAQs
What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes ultrasound technology to help tighten and rejuvenate the surface of your skin. The procedure does not require any needles, surgery, or anesthesia, and there is no downtime afterwards. For these reasons, Ultherapy has become a popular approach to tightening and lifting the skin to remove fine lines and wrinkles, and provide an overall rejuvenated appearance. An added benefit of Ultherapy is that the ultrasound technology allows the doctor to see deep within the surface of the skin, which leads to safer and more precise treatments.
How does Ultherapy work?
During the procedure, your doctor will use a device to send ultrasound sound waves beneath the surface of your skin. The ultrasound waves deliver heat to the inner layers of the dermis without causing damage to the surface of the skin. The heat causes the tissue to contract and stimulate the body’s natural healing process. The skin responds to the heat by creating new collagen, which will eventually contribute to the tightening of your skin. Ulthera actually utilizes your body’s own natural healing process by rebuilding the collagen fibers within your skin. As such, Ultherapy results in a very natural appearance for the patient.
