The Importance of Physician Expertise: A Physician-Administered Art
The success and safety of Ultherapy® are highly dependent on the skill and experience of the practitioner. As one of the first providers in Connecticut to introduce and perform Ultherapy®, Dr. Brownell brings an exceptional level of clinical experience to every treatment.
Unlike blind tightening procedures, every Ultherapy® session at Westport MediSpa is personally administered by Dr. Brownell using real-time ultrasound visualization technology.
This allows her to:
- Leverage Extensive Procedure Experience: As an early adopter of Ultherapy® in Connecticut, Dr. Brownell possesses a deep understanding of how various skin types and anatomical structures respond to ultrasound energy.
- Identify Your Unique Anatomy: Real-time ultrasound imaging allows precise visualization of foundational tissue layers beneath the skin.
- Provide Precision Targeting: Energy is delivered only to the exact depth required to stimulate collagen production and tissue lifting.
- Enhance Safety Through Visualization: The authentic Ultherapy® system enables visualization of underlying structures, helping maximize results while maintaining patient safety.
Targeted Applications for Natural Rejuvenation
Using advanced anatomical precision, Dr. Brownell customizes each treatment to address the areas where lifting and tightening can create the greatest improvement.
The Non-Surgical Brow Lift
Ultherapy® can gently elevate the brow and improve the appearance of heavy eyelids, creating a brighter, more refreshed look without surgery.
This treatment offers a non-invasive alternative for patients seeking subtle upper-face rejuvenation.
Submental Tightening & Jawline Definition
By targeting skin beneath the chin and along the jawline, Ultherapy® helps restore a more defined profile and improve mild to moderate skin laxity.
Benefits may include:
- Improved jawline definition
- Reduction in the appearance of a double chin
- Enhanced neck contour
- A firmer, more youthful profile
Neck & Décolletage Smoothing
Ultherapy® is highly effective for addressing crepey skin and laxity on the neck and chest.
By stimulating collagen production within deeper tissue layers, the treatment helps create a smoother, firmer foundation while improving overall skin quality.
Preventative Collagen Banking
Beyond corrective lifting, Dr. Brownell utilizes Ultherapy® as a preventative strategy for patients in their 30s and 40s.
Often referred to as collagen banking, this proactive approach helps maintain skin density, preserve youthful structure, and delay visible signs of laxity before they develop.
Comprehensive Body Contouring: Beyond the Face and Neck
Ultherapy® is not limited to facial rejuvenation. Dr. Brownell also utilizes the technology to improve skin firmness and support body contouring in areas traditionally difficult to address without surgery.
Arms and Abdomen
Ultherapy® can improve skin laxity on the upper arms and abdomen, helping firm tissue affected by weight fluctuations, aging, or pregnancy.
Hand Rejuvenation
The treatment can improve skin density on the backs of the hands, creating a smoother and more youthful appearance.
Knees and Elbows
By targeting thinning or puckered skin around the joints, Ultherapy® helps create a firmer and more refined appearance in these commonly overlooked areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does it matter that a physician performs my Ultherapy® treatment?
Ultherapy® is a physician-administered treatment because results depend heavily on the ability to interpret live ultrasound imaging. Dr. Brownell’s extensive experience allows her to identify foundational tissue layers and precisely deliver energy where it will be most effective.
How does Ultherapy® differ from other skin tightening devices?
Many tightening devices focus primarily on the skin’s surface. Ultherapy® uses micro-focused ultrasound to reach deeper structural tissues typically addressed during surgery, creating a foundational lift that superficial treatments cannot replicate.
How soon will I see results?
Some patients notice an initial subtle lift shortly after treatment. However, the most significant improvements develop gradually as collagen production increases.
Visible lifting often becomes apparent within two to three months and may continue improving for up to six months following treatment.
Is there really no downtime?
Yes. Ultherapy® is considered a true no-downtime procedure. Patients typically return to work, social engagements, and normal activities immediately following treatment.
Because the results are generated through your body’s own collagen-building process, facial expressions remain completely natural.
Is there an ideal age to begin Ultherapy®?
Many patients begin treatment in their 30s and 40s as part of a collagen banking strategy. By stimulating collagen before significant laxity develops, Ultherapy® helps preserve youthful structure and support long-term skin integrity.
