When executed properly, Ultherapy is the best non-invasive alternative to plastic surgery on the market.
With its ability to stimulate collagen production to tighten the skin around the neck and face, it’s the perfect treatment for those who don’t need (or who are not ready for) a facelift. What’s more, those who have tried the revolutionary treatment are still reaping the benefits two years later.
The FDA-approved Ultherapy is the only skin rejuvenation procedure that uses ultrasound imaging, which has been scientifically proven to yield highly effective results. Billed as the hottest lunchtime therapy, Ultherapy, which requires no downtime, only takes 45-60 minutes. Patients may experience slight redness or mild swelling afterwards, but generally they can go straight back to the office with their colleagues none the wiser. This differs from Fractional laser treatment, which can take up to a week to recover from.
A micro-focused ultrasound technology delivering energy to different depths in the skin (dermal or even deeper to the connective tissue) Ultherapy creates microscopic points of thermal injury, so it is essential to ensure you are in 100 per cent trustworthy hands.
A cold gel is applied and the lasers begin. Everyone will experience some discomfort, depending on how high your pain thresholds are. Each section is tackled individually with a certain amount of pulses applied to each area.
For a few weeks afterwards, your face may feel slightly bruised only.
While the full results will only be visible within two to three months as the collagen keeps regenerating itself, you do notice an instant lift with skin tightened and lifted by 30 per cent. With the process triggering the body’s natural response to repair-heal and to replace the damaged cells with fresh, collagen-rich tissue, over time this new collagen lifts the skin.
