Ultherapy is a good solution for people who aren’t ready to try a surgical face lift. Although it doesn’t achieve the same comprehensive level of results that can come with surgery, this therapy also doesn’t have many of risks and downsides associated with a more invasive procedure. For instance, you won’t have to be put under anesthesia to have Ultherapy performed. Additionally, there is no down time involved in the recovery process. Many people are able to return to work and other normal activities immediately after treatment. Mild redness or tenderness are typically the only side effects, and these are minimal and temporary.

This revolutionary treatment is FDA approved for use on the brow, chin, neck and chest. Accordingly, it can help you get rid of fine lines and wrinkles in the places where you are most likely to be troubled by them. These are also the places that even casual acquaintances are most likely to see, so you can feel good about looking fresher and younger everywhere you go.

Ultherapy 2

Unlike surgical face lift procedures, this non-surgical skin tightening therapy doesn’t involve knives or needles. Instead, it relies upon ultrasound to lift skin. Most people are already familiar with the concept of ultrasound and its usefulness in the medical field. This is a new way to use reliable technology to enhance the lives of patients. Clinical studies support the conclusions regarding the treatment’s safety and effectiveness. Plus, it’s been used successfully on hundreds of thousands of patients already.

Your first step to undergoing this non-surgical skin tightening procedure is to schedule a consultation with your dermatologist. Feel free to ask many questions and to voice any concerns. Your dermatologist will want you to be fully informed before you make the decision to undergo Ultherapy.

Getting Rid of Wrinkles: The Day of Treatment

Getting Rid of Wrinkles

On the day of your therapy, your treatment areas will be identified and cleansed. Your practitioner may have provided you with a prescription medication that will help you relax during the procedure. This is the only medication you will need, and some people are relaxed enough to go without. A gel is applied to the skin, and then ultrasound energy is used to stimulate the production of collagen in affected areas. The practitioner begins by capturing an ultrasound image of the treatment area. This precise, highly detailed image provides the dermatologist with a clear picture of the tissue they will be working on. Armed with this knowledge, they will know exactly where to aim the ultrasound energy to achieve optimum results.

The ultrasound energy leaves the outer layers of the skin untouched, focusing solely on the inner layers where collagen production is needed most to provide the desired lift. Most people can feel the energy pulses moving through their skin. Some patients have found this disconcerting while others are not troubled at all. Rest assured that these sensations are normal, and that they cease when the treatment ends.

The length of treatment time varies by which area is undergoing the non-surgical skin tightening therapy. Some portions of the skin require only 30 minutes. Larger areas or procedures that combine two areas may take between 60 minutes to one and a half hours.

After the Treatment…

Most people are able to return to normal activities immediately after undergoing Ultherapy. Even better, many people only need one treatment to achieve a more youthful appearance. It’s important to realize that some patients will notice a difference in their appearance directly after their treatment. However, most of the improvements actually come about in the following weeks and months as collagen production gets the boost it needs to help you get rid of fine lines and wrinkles.

Schedule an appointment with your dermatologist to find out more about Ultherapy. It is a safe and effective way to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles without having to go through the risk of a face lift surgery. Many people use Ultherapy to put off getting surgery or to extend the life of the results of a previous cosmetic procedure. Whether you are considering a facelift later in life or would prefer to just go with a non-surgical skin tightening procedure, Ultherapy may be the answer for you.
