Ulthera, Inc. today announced that it has received $22.5 million in a Series B round.  “The company has developed a micro-ablation device that safely penetrates and treats multiple layers of tissue non-invasively,” stated Likens. “Ulthera’s technology is the first to combine high frequency ultrasound imaging and therapeutic treatment in a single device. This unique approach enables visualization of target layers of sub-epidermal tissue immediately before the therapeutic level of ultrasonic energy is delivered, allowing physicians to see where they are working below the skin. The epidermal layer of skin is completely spared, while deeper treatment immediately triggers the body’s natural healing effect, resulting in a gradual lifting and tightening of skin tissue in and around the face.
