As we age, it’s common to notice subtle yet frustrating changes in our appearance—looser skin around the jawline, a softening neckline, or laxity on areas like the thighs and chest. While these changes are natural, they often leave patients wishing for a refined, safe, and highly effective way to restore youthful firmness without the risks or downtime associated with surgery.
At Miami Skin Institute, Dr. Manjula Jegasothy, a world-renowned leader in aesthetic dermatology offers the ultimate solution: Ultherapy®.
What is Ultherapy® — and Why is It Considered the Gold Standard?
Ultherapy® is a state-of-the-art treatment that harnesses ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the skin naturally. Unlike lasers or other devices that work only on the skin’s surface, Ultherapy® penetrates to precisely targeted depths beneath the skin—reaching the fibrous connective tissue, subcutaneous fat, and even superficial muscles.
By targeting these deeper layers, it stimulates the body’s own collagen and elastin production, resulting in progressively firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Ultrasound technology has been trusted in medicine for over 50 years, widely used for diagnostic imaging in pregnancy and other medical conditions. This long-standing track record makes Ultherapy® not only innovative but also exceptionally safe.
The Miami Skin Institute Difference: Dr. Jegasothy’s Signature Approach
While Ultherapy® is FDA-cleared and widely available, results are highly dependent on the expertise of the provider. Dr. Jegasothy has built her reputation on precision, patient safety, and natural-looking outcomes.
Her advanced understanding of facial anatomy and aesthetic balance allows her to customize each treatment, with individualized device settings and handpiece techniques each time, ensuring optimal lifting and tightening without an “overdone” look.
