Ultherapy

A facelift that doesn’t involve surgery, recovery time, or the negative connotations associated with undergoing a facelift? It doesn’t sound natural. The brow, neck, jawline, and décolletage can all benefit from Ultherapy’s non-invasive skin tightening.

Ultherapy is the only FDA-approved non-surgical skin-tightening device.

To deliver energy to the deeper suspensory layers of the face and neck, Ultherapy employs ultrasound rather than lasers. This natural healing response results in new collagen production and subsequent tightening and lifting of surrounding facial tissues.

Is Ultherapy a quick or long-term procedure?

The treatment time will vary by the treatment area’s size and location and the specific treatment plan you receive. A face and neck procedure typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, whereas a chest procedure typically lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. There is no downtime with Ultherapy, and the results are immediate. Immediately after the process, you can return to your routine without additional post-treatment measures.

You will feel a small amount of energy deposited to specific depths as the ultrasound energy is delivered, indicating that the collagen-building process has begun. Individual comfort levels will vary, but the sensation will only last as long as the ultrasound energy is present. Some patients have complained that the procedure is excruciating.

Is there a difference between Ultherapy and other laser procedures?

For the first time, a non-invasive cosmetic device can penetrate deeper into the skin than any other non-invasive procedure. An ultrasound treatment known as Ulthera stimulates collagen production in the skin’s deep layers, resulting in a noticeable lift of tissue within two to three months.

As a result of their use of light energy, lasers can only treat superficial skin and are not FDA-cleared to lift skin. The two technologies work well together because they target different skin issues.

Ultrasound energy focused on a specific skin area is delivered at a temperature that promotes collagen synthesis, resulting in new collagen production.

Is there a risk of side effects with this medication?

If the skin appears red at first, it should go away in a few hours. Some patients may develop oedema, tingling, or sensitivity. Patients may experience temporary bruising or numbness in the treated area in sporadic cases of the procedure taking place. You and your doctor will discuss any other possible risks and side effects before undergoing the procedure.

More than 350,000 successful Ultherapy treatments worldwide since the FDA approved the procedure in 2010. The safe application of ultrasound energy in medicine dates back more than half a century. It’s also worth noting that each Ultherapy practitioner undergoes extensive training in the procedure.

Is Ultherapy a good treatment option for you?

When the skin begins to lose its elasticity, it is a good candidate for Ultherapy. A few examples are:

• A drooping brow.
• Sagging neck.
• Sagging under the chin.
• Lines and wrinkles on the chest.

If you’re unsure if Ultherapy is suitable for you, a medical practitioner is your best bet.

In the treatment

We will use a smooth treatment applicator and ultrasonic gel to apply the therapy to your skin after washing and determining the areas of improvement. Our next step will be to deliver focused 超聲刀 beneath the skin’s surface using Ultherapy’s ultrasound imaging to see deep within the skin. Small amounts of energy are paid to specific depths during treatment, signalling the start of the collagen-forming process. As long as the power is flowing, the sensation is pleasant, but it only lasts for so long. The time of your treatment depends on the extent of the treatment and the specifics of your case. In general, a face and neck procedure lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, while a chest procedure lasts between 30 and 45 minutes.

There is no downtime following your Ultherapy Scottsdale treatment! After your procedure, you can carry on as usual, with no restrictions or requirements to follow up afterwards. Initially, your skin may appear flushed, but this should subside within a few hours. Some patients report mild swelling, tingling, or tenderness to the touch, but these symptoms are temporary and mild. Other, less common side effects, which we will discuss with you, are possible with this procedure, as with any medical procedure.

After Ultherapy

After your Ultherapy treatment, you may notice some immediate results, but the actual results will take place over the next two to three months as your body naturally regenerates collagen. It is up to you how long the effects of the procedure last, as it encourages your collagen production. The treatment generates new collagen on the inside, but your natural ageing process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the outside. Touch-up treatments can help patients keep up with the body’s natural ageing process as the skin continues to age.

Only a single therapy is necessary for most situations; However, there are exceptions to this based on skin laxity, the individual’s collagen-building process, and the biological response to ultrasound energy.

Exactly how does it feel?

You may feel some discomfort, but this indicates that the collagen-building process has already begun. Medical professionals can discuss options for making the experience as pleasant as possible. Patients walk out of the clinic feeling relaxed and excited about the future.

What is the price of Ultherapy?

There will be no cookie-cutter treatment, and you will discuss exact pricing during a complimentary consultation. Consultations are essential because Ultherapy costs vary by area, and it is best to ensure that areas adjacent to the problem area do not also need to undergo treatment.

The Recovery.

In the immediate aftermath of therapy, you should be able to resume normal activities. Even though these symptoms typically fade within a few days, some patients still report reddening and tingling sensations.

While there are some minor side effects to Ultherapy, such as tingling and bruising (rarely), there are no long-term issues to worry over. The majority of these side effects are gone within a few hours. We welcome you to schedule a free consultation with us to go over your treatment options and address any specific concerns you may have.
