LIFT AND TIGHTEN

Ultherapy

Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest.Through the ultrasound imaging with Ultherapy, energy is delivered precisely to the place where it will benefit you most—for natural-looking results that improve over time.

Ultherapy relies on ultrasound therapy to go deeper than other non-invasive treatments for collagen stimulation. And it leverages traditional ultrasound imaging so Ultherapy providers can see the layers of tissue they are treating. This ensures the treatment energy is delivered to where it benefits you most.

Collagen’s role in

Facial Aging

As a natural protein, collagen works to give skin its youthfulness by keeping it firm and toned. As we age, collagen breaks down, and the result is a loss of skin strength and elasticity. That’s where Ultherapy steps in and lifts up, through ultrasound therapy.​

Before Treatment

Plan your collagen comeback without surgery.

Schedule a one-on-one consultation with our esthetician so they can assess your skin, address your concerns, and determine if you are a candidate for Ultherapy.

There are no pre- or post-treatment skin care requirements associated with Ultherapy, so once you book your personalized Ultherapy procedure, you can relax!

During Treatment

After cleansing the skin and identifying the specific areas to be treated, your Totality esthetician will apply the ultrasound gel and place the smooth treatment applicator against your skin.

To customize your treatment, we will next visualize the best location for treatment through Ultherapy’s ultrasound imaging, in order to target the area(s) that will benefit you most.

During treatment, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited under the skin, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Comfort levels can vary from person to person, but you may experience the sensation of heat and/or tingling while the energy is being delivered.

Recognized as the Gold Standard for nonsurgical lifting and tightening by an expert panel of physicians, Ultherapy is customized, so the length of your treatment will depend on the area being treated and your individual treatment plan. A face* and neck procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes, while treatment for the upper chest (or décolletage) takes approximately 30 minutes.

*Face refers to treatment of one or more of the FDA-cleared areas of the brow and under the chin.

After Treatment

No downtime, only natural-looking results.

That’s right—you can return to your normal activities immediately after your procedure without any post-treatment restrictions or requirements.

Your skin might appear flushed at first, but the redness should disappear within a few hours. Some patients experience slight swelling, tingling, or tenderness to the touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature.

Other, less common post-procedural effects may include temporary bruising or numbness on small areas of skin. As with any medical procedure, speak with your provider about what to expect following your Ultherapy treatment.

Testimonials

Always a great experience!

Thank you Totality Medispa:))) I am so happy that I finally found this place and the products I have been looking for. I have been using Obagi Nu Derm RX products prescribed by a doctor many years back from UAE and I never needed a prescription after that. I have been buying them every year when I travel . This year I couldn’t travel and I thought that Obagi FX would control my pigmentation but it didn’t work. My melasma is back and my skin started to look so dull with an uneven skin tone which is making me look ugly :((. Canada doesn’t sell RX system . If I want to buy the product online then I need a prescription and to find an online physician …in short very disappointed. A big thank you to Totality Medispa that I could purchase online without any difficulties and everything was so easy and I received my order. Prompt , efficient and great service . Thank you so much and I highly recommend them .

I went in for just a consultation. Morgan made me feel so comfortable and confident, I decided to do same day treatment. Highly recommended!

The women that work at Totality are top notch. I’ve gone there for a variety of services for over a year and they’ve always provided exceptional service. I started going leading up to my wedding last fall and they helped improve my skin so much. Bethany was my pre-wedding angel helping with my stress breakouts leading up to the big day. Liz has been my hydrafacial go-to and gives the best massages. The girls at the front desk are incredible and so sweet. 10/10 would recommend.

When you find a place you like, you don't go anywhere else. Beautiful facility, super well stocked with high end skincare, both downtown and on Daniel Island. Great staff, friendly, knowledgeable, and you never have to wait too long. My injector, Sarah, is terrific - steady hand, very light touch, super precise in her work and a lovely human. Every time I see her it's like we're old friends, only she erases my wrinkles while we catch up. I also had a hydrafacial with Liz. It was a relaxing hour of friendly conversation and pleasant treatment that makes your skin glow. I love Totality. It's an extravagance to be sure but I trust them and feel great after each session. Looking forward to trying some more treatments when I am able to. Take a friend and go get pampered.

First time getting anything done and everyone at Totality made me feel so comfortable! They worked with me on my budget and alleviated all concerns I had as a first timer. Can’t wait to go back!

First time at totality and it was so easy and seemless, all nerves disappeared! The girls are so knowledgeable and kind! Definitely recommend especially for a first timer or someone looking for a great spa!

Love love love Dr. Nicole & her team!! Everyone is friendly & attentive! I have had several procedures and happy with the results. The follow up & concern that the staff have shown me with a recent issue is impressive! We just don’t see customer service like this these days

Well done. Clean and efficient.

I'm an online customer of this shop. I've never visited their physical store in Charleston, but I plan to next time I’m there. I stumbled upon them online a couple years ago, and I've been really impressed with them ever since. I like the website. The products are super high quality, and they always come packaged well (and they ship fast). I trust them. I buy my Tret and my Obagi Blender cream from there, but I’m thinking about picking up a few other goodies too. They have big sales a couple times a year, and as soon as I get those emails, I pop on to place an order. The people who work there are really nice too, which is rare these days. The first time you order Tretinoin, they follow up with you about the prescription. They did that all over text with me. It was really nice. Thank you for being awesome!!! 🩵
