Treatment: Ultrasound treatment
Effect: firmer, rejuvenated skin
Are you looking for a non-invasive (non-surgical) treatment to lift your skin? Ultherapy treatment is an alternative to the surgical procedure of Facelifts and face lifting. The treatment is ideal for lifting the skin of the neck, eyebrows, upper arms and the underside of the chin. Ultherapy treats the deeper layers of the skin and thus strengthens your skin.
The treatment offers all the advantages of surgery and even more: no anaesthetic, no scarring and no recovery time. Ultherapy is based on ultrasound waves, which can heat the skin to a depth of 5 millimetres. Deep layers, such as muscle and fat layers, are treated. These can normally only be reached with a surgical procedure.

| Ultherapy décolleté | € 1.000 |
| Ultherapy face complete | € 1.000 |
| Ultherapy neck | € 800 |
| Ultherapy cheeks, jaw | € 800 |
During the consultation, you will speak with Your doctor about the course of treatment and the expected results. We will also check your current state of health and ask you about your medical history, medication use and possible allergies. In this way, the treatment can take place under optimal conditions.
We will also discuss your expectations of the result and the realistic possibilities of skin tightening with Ultherapy.
We will do our best to fulfil your wishes. Finally, you will be given an overview of the method used and informed about possible risks and complications. You can ask all your questions during the consultation.
Ultherapy uses ultrasound waves to treat deep skin structures. During the treatment, an applicator is placed on the skin. This applicator sends an image on a screen. On this image, the therapist can analyse the different layers of your skin. The image can be used to recognise which layer of your skin needs treatment. The same applicator is then used to send targeted energy to the correct skin structure. This creates the lifting effect. All this is done without damaging the skin's surface. In response to the heat of the emitted energy, the body's own collagen production is stimulated. This results in a gradual tightening, which over time leads to a lifting effect of the skin.
The treatment is generally not perceived as painful. During the treatment, there may be temporary irritation or a sensation of heat under the skin. These sensations are caused by the ultrasound energy. It indicates that the collagen-forming process has been set in motion.
There may be slight redness or swelling after the treatment. However, this will disappear within a few hours. You can continue with your daily activities immediately after the treatment. There are no special precautions you need to take.
The duration of the treatment depends on the area to be treated and the individual treatment plan. A treatment usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. One treatment is usually sufficient to achieve the desired result. If desired, a follow-up treatment can be carried out after at least 6 months. This depends on the condition of your skin and your lifestyle (smoking, sun exposure and sleeping behaviour).
Ultrasound energy has been used in the medical field for over fifty years. Scientific studies confirm the safety of ultrasound energy as a therapeutic application.
Of course, every treatment is associated with certain medical risks. There is a minimal risk of a burn or temporary nerve injury. However, this will disappear within a few weeks. In some cases, bruising or streaks form, which also disappear within a few days.
Some patients recognise an effect immediately after treatment. However, the optimum result is only visible after 3 to 6 months. The treatment tightens and strengthens the skin. The tightening gives the skin a younger appearance and fades wrinkles.
Ultherapy can be easily combined with other treatments. A combination with Botox, Fillers or one fractional laser treatment can support the rejuvenating effect of the treatment.
Before the treatment, an ultrasound visualisation of your skin is created so that we can determine exactly which skin structures the energy needs to be delivered to. Next, micro-focussed ultrasound energy can be delivered to the skin at exactly the right depth. This heats the tissue without damaging the skin surface and surrounding skin structures. In response to the energy emitted, the skin's wound healing process is stimulated and the production of the body's own collagen and elastin is promoted.
Ultherapy offers a natural skin tightening process without the additional use of chemicals, toxins or fillers. For this reason, Ultherapy is also known as a natural way of tightening the skin. As the skin surface and surrounding skin structures are not damaged, no recovery time is required after the treatment. The treatment can easily be carried out between two procedures.
For most patients, one treatment is sufficient to achieve the desired effect. Depending on the degree of skin laxity, the response to the ultrasound energy and the production of the body's own collagen, a patient may occasionally benefit from a second treatment. Since your skin is still at the mercy of the natural aging process, follow-up treatments may offer a future solution.
To optimise the results of the treatment, Ultherapy is often combined with the fractional CO2 laser combined. The fractional CO2 laser is mainly used to treat wrinkles, pigmentation and to improve skin structure. Ultherapy is used to tighten the skin. In combination, the two treatments can provide a marvellous result. However, depending on your situation, one treatment may be sufficient to achieve your desired result.
There are a number of frequently asked questions about Ultherapy which we would like to answer. If your question is not answered in the following section, you can also send it to us by e-mail or telephone.
Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment to lift your skin. It is an effective treatment to lift the skin of the neck, chin and eyebrows. Ultherapy treats the deeper layers of the skin, resulting in firmer skin.
You are a suitable candidate for Ultherapy if your skin looks and feels flabby. Drooping eyelids and sagging skin on the chin or neck are signs of skin laxity. The best results from Ultherapy are seen in men and women between the ages of 35 and 60. This age group still has sufficient production of the body's own collagen.
Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment based on ultrasound waves. The Ultherapy technique allows the skin to be heated to a depth of 5 millimetres. At the same time, the underlying fat and muscle layers are treated. Alternatively, the deeper skin layers can only be reached with a surgical procedure. The ultrasound waves gradually tighten the treated area.
It is normal for your skin to be slightly reddish after the treatment. Slight swelling may also occur. Both symptoms disappear just a few hours after the treatment. After the treatment you can go about your daily activities without any problems. There are no specific precautions you should take.
Some patients see the first results immediately after treatment. The final results of the treatment become visible after 3 to 6 months. Ultherapy is used to stimulate the body's own production of collagen. The results achieved vary from person to person. The time it takes to achieve results depends on your skin type, age and lifestyle, among other things.
There is no special preparation for Ultherapy. We advise you to stop smoking before the treatment. You should also be aware that the use of certain medications increases the risk of bruising.

You may feel a slight irritation of the skin due to the ultrasound waves. Everyone reacts differently to the treatment. However, there is never any question of pain.

As a rule, one treatment is sufficient to achieve the desired result.
The treatment is carried out without anaesthetic. If you react to stimuli, it is possible to take a painkiller before the treatment. Your skin will also be treated with a special cream before the treatment.
A specific applicator is used during Ultherapy to visualise the different skin structures. The applicator is used to recognise which skin layers need to be treated. The applicator sends targeted energy to specific skin layers in advance. This creates a lifting effect without damaging your skin. The heat generated by the energy stimulates the body's own production of collagen. This leads to a gradual tightening, which ultimately produces the lifting effect of the skin.
The duration of the treatment depends on various factors. The area to be treated and your individual treatment plan play a key role. As a rule, the treatment lasts 30 to 60 minutes. For most patients, one treatment is sufficient to achieve the desired effect. Would you like a follow-up treatment? A second treatment can be carried out at least 6 months later. The degree of sagging of your skin also depends on various factors. These include hereditary factors and environmental influences such as sun exposure and smoking.

If you have already had a facelift, Ultherapy can also be used to maintain the results achieved.

Ultrasound waves for firmer skin on the face and neck!
I opted for Ultherapy at the Acura Clinic. This involves sound waves penetrating the fatty tissue and muscles, resulting in firmer skin on the face and neck. As I already have quite loose skin on my neck, I had the treatments carried out directly on my face and neck. Thanks to the great treatment in Weert, I can now see a clear difference.

Ultherapy and fractional CO2 laser combined for optimum results
I always like to be well informed. You can read all sorts of things online, but many websites contradict each other and publish different information. When I'm ill or in pain, I avoid internet research because before you know it, you've diagnosed yourself with a serious illness. That's why I went to a clinic that I knew was known to be a good clinic without any premonition. During the consultation with the doctor, I explained my wishes. Fortunately, according to the doctor, these were realisable. The doctor explained what I could expect from Ultherapy and CO2 laser treatment. The skin on my face would become firmer, pigmentation spots would be reduced and the skin would regain a finer texture. The treatments can also be carried out separately, but a combination of both treatments would directly provide the best result. I am very happy with both procedures and the results. I can recommend it to anyone. Because I am so satisfied with the way the clinic works, I have now also planned a breast augmentation with autologous fat. I can hardly wait until it's my turn!

Skin tightening with ultrasound, it really works!
When I heard about it from a friend, I didn't want to believe it at first. But when she went to the Acura clinic for treatment and her facial skin really did look much better and healthier afterwards, my doubts disappeared. She combined Ultherapy with the fractional CO2 laser. This not only made her skin firmer, but also more youthful. I searched online for before and after photos of both treatments. It seemed more plausible to me that a combination would help. However, I didn't really want to believe it until I experienced it for myself. Just like my friend, I had the treatment done at the Acura medical centre. I was helped by a very friendly lady who really knew everything about the treatments. The ultrasound treatment went smoothly, the fractional laser treatment was a bit uncomfortable. Well, just close your eyes and go through....! After my skin had recovered from the treatment, you could see the great results. People still talk to me about it. So it really does work!

Skin tightening without surgery
I was looking for a treatment to tighten the skin on my face, but without surgery. I was not interested in a facelift or any other surgery. It's certainly not dangerous these days, but I wanted to improve my skin in a non-invasive way. I found information online about sound wave therapy for skin tightening. The best known treatment technique is Ultherapy. There were only a handful of clinics that performed this treatment. So I made appointments at these clinics. For me, it's quite an expensive treatment. So I wanted good quality at an affordable price. On the Acura medical centre website, I saw the competitive prices for different treatments. The price for Ultherapy was also reasonable. With this in mind, in combination with the pleasant consultation, I finally decided in favour of this clinic. I didn't feel any pain at all during the treatment. The result is really good. I took a photo for myself and after 2 months I saw a real difference. My facial skin was much firmer.

Sound waves for firmer skin
The fact that sound waves can create firm skin seemed like a bad joke to me at first. However, after my partner found out a few things about it, it actually turned out to be true. It may sound very cliché, but my partner finally decided to undergo this treatment. We often get compliments on our skin at birthdays and other events. We are often asked if there is something different about us. We often leave our friends in the dark. Our little secret, haha! That's why we're sharing this testimonial anonymously. We want to show people the possibilities, but nobody else within our group of friends needs to know.

Men can look good too!
If my friends are to be believed, I'm probably one of the metro men. I attach a lot of importance to my appearance. Unfortunately, my skin doesn't necessarily get better with age. At least I'm lucky to have a lot of hair, so I don't mind it turning grey. Ageing skin, on the other hand, annoys me. That's why I decided to have Ultherapy and looked for the best clinic. I read about the Acura Clinic in Elsevier and its successful results in the treatment results section. You can say a lot of things about a treatment, but in the end it's the result that counts. The treatment has made me feel fresher again and my skin is firmer. I can only highly recommend the Acura medical centre and have already done so for 2 friends.

Skin on the face and neck much firmer thanks to Ultherapy and fractional laser treatment
You can read all kinds of tips and treatments on the internet for more beautiful and firmer skin. Peels, injections, facelifts... you name it. I got to know the Acura medical centre through a friend. The clinic is rated as very good and offers competitive prices. Of course, I didn't need to be told twice. I read all about the above treatments on the website. I had never heard of Ultherapy and fractional laser before, but the idea behind the treatments really appealed to me. Fortunately, I got an appointment for a consultation quite quickly and was able to discuss the various options in detail with the doctor. The doctor listened carefully to my wishes and expectations. Based on this, I was recommended Ultherapy in combination with fractional laser. It took some time for my skin to fully recover, but the result is phenomenal. If you don't want a face and neck lift either, but still want firmer skin, you should definitely look into laser treatment and Ultherapy.

Skin tightening possible without surgery!
Cutting into the skin is a thorn in my side. No matter how well it's done, there's always a scar left behind. That's why I'm interested in less invasive treatments. Injection treatments have always appealed to me, but when I heard about Ultherapy, I was immediately convinced. The skin on my face was becoming increasingly saggy. This is due to natural ageing, but looking at my mother, I also believe that we have a predisposition to rapidly ageing skin. I searched the internet for ways to achieve firmer skin without surgery. Ultherapy came up. I searched online for before and after pictures to see what kind of results I could expect. The results of Ultherapy were really beautiful. They also looked very natural. That's why I decided to go for Ultherapy. Now I know that skin tightening without surgery really is possible!
Johanna
Good supplement or replacement for injections!
I have been visiting various beauty clinics regularly for many years. To keep my skin beautiful, I regularly undergo beauty treatments and have had injections for several years. I have always left the clinic with glowing skin. However, I have always been interested in alternatives to Botox and fillers. For this reason, I did some research online. Until I came across the Acura medical centre. Acura offers various treatments to improve the skin and was therefore able to give me very good advice. During the consultation, I first told them about my wishes and expectations. I was then given a detailed explanation of the various anti-ageing treatments that the Acura medical centre can offer. I was particularly interested in skin rejuvenation treatments. For this reason, Ultherapy in combination with the fractional laser was recommended to me. And off we went. I am very happy with the results. I wish I had done it sooner!
Annette
I feel much better!
Four weeks ago I was advised by Femke from the Acura medical centre. What a super nice and professional woman!
As I'm already over 30, I'm noticing how my skin is sagging a little, my cheeks are no longer as firm and my skin is sagging on my neck. So I spoke to Femke about my options. We quickly came up with Ultherapy. By chance, Femke still had a slot available and I was able to be treated immediately (even at a special price!). It was a pleasant treatment, a little warm, but not unpleasant (I was a bit scared of it). Femke was very calm and relaxed - I felt I was in good hands. Now, 4 weeks later, even my husband can see a difference! My cheeks are beautiful again and have a healthy colour. My neck is as beautiful as it was the last time I was 25, great! Acura and Femke: Thank you!
Evelia
Very happy with the result!
I had an Ultherapy treatment at the Acura medical centre. I had never heard of it before, but a friend of mine told me about it. At Acura, I first went for a free consultation where I was given all the information about the treatment. After thinking it over at home, I decided to go for Ultherapy. As I was already 57 years old, I was a little hesitant at first. However, the very nice skin therapist who treated me was able to reassure me. I am very happy with the result, it really makes a big difference. I think I will come back this summer so that my skin will be a little firmer.
