Ultherapy: A Non-Invasive Procedure for “Tightening” the Skin
Age can come with some pretty wonderful benefits. However, many people don’t feel that the signs of age are exactly some of the greatest things life has to offer. Over time, as the skin loses its elasticity and begins to sag, it manages to add years onto a person’s appearance. Saggy, wrinkled skin can make a person look older than they are and feel.
Various procedures and treatments offer the chance for individuals to reverse the effects of time and restore a more youthful firmness to their skin. Facelifts can produce some extremely effective results, but not everyone desires to achieve their aesthetic goals with surgery. For such individuals, Ultherapy may be the perfect solution to giving sagging skin an uplifting boost.
How Ultherapy Works
Ultherapy is a safe, FDA approved method of rejuvenating the skin of the neck and face by utilizing ultrasound technology. The first step involves customizing the treatment to the patient through a visualization of the skin’s tissues created by imaging.
Next, ultrasound waves are used to target and heat deep layers of tissue where collagen is found. After that collagen has been broken down, the body’s natural response is to rebuild and produce new collagen, which restores lost elasticity. Loose skin is lifted and becomes tighter and more toned, with results that continue to gradually develop within three or four months after the treatment.
More Uplifting Benefits
Although this procedure is not a replacement for facelift surgery, it does offer a wide range of advantages to patients longing for a non-invasive way to get natural-looking results for their skin. In general, these results can last quite long, with patients experiencing fresh collagen for up to a year after the treatment. Additional benefits of Ultherapy include the following:
- It’s Quick, taking only about 1 hour
- No general anesthesia is needed
- There’s no downtime or recovery needed
- Side effects are generally limited and mild in nature, including temporary redness and tenderness.
Discovering if Ultherapy is Right For You
Time can take its toll on the appearance, but modern advances are really stepping up their game. Ultherapy combines technological innovation with the body’s natural healing process to counter unwanted signs of age in a way that’s both safe and convenient for patients.
