Looking for a way to tighten up the skin and smooth out fine lines without surgery? Ultherapy may be the right solution for you. This non-invasive treatment uses ultrasound energy, the same used to monitor pregnancy and diagnose heart conditions, to constrict tissue and stimulate collagen production for a more youthful appearance. The outcome from this treatment is both natural and long-lasting. Vein Care Center offers Ultherapy and has four reasons why you should consider it as part of your own cosmetic enhancement.
Non-Invasive Skin Tightening
Currently, Ultherapy is the only non-surgical method of skin tightening approved by the FDA for this purpose. The ultrasound energy delivered during treatment penetrates into the deeper layers of the dermis without incisions or other trauma to the skin and surrounding tissue. This means superior results for you without anesthesia, downtime or visible scarring afterward.
Customized to You
Ultherapy can be tailored to your precise needs and desired results, no matter how much skin laxity you have or the specific treatment areas you want to address. This device can work on any area of the face, including the forehead, brow line, cheeks and midface, jawline and neck. The depth of the procedure can also be adjusted to the level of correction you need to achieve your full results. Ultrasound imaging is used during treatment to ensure the energy is delivered to the precise depth required to produce the best possible results.
Safe, Few Side Effects
Ultrasound technology has been a staple in the medical realm for many years and has more recently shown significant value in the cosmetic field as well. Sound waves are used to produce the desired results, without excessive heating or surgical excision. Your Ultherapy treatment will be a relatively comfortable process that does not require anesthesia. You will be able to return to regular activities right away, and the only indication you just had a cosmetic treatment will be skin redness that subsides within a few hours of the procedure.
Long-Lasting Results
Ultherapy works in two different ways to achieve the skin tightening you are seeking. The ultrasound energy heats the underlying dermal structure to the precise temperature to constrict tissue for immediate tightening while stimulating the body’s production of collagen. As collagen is produced to support the underlying layers, the skin will maintain its tighter more youthful appearance for a longer period.
The Lowdown on Ultherapy
Ultherapy is performed in our office at Vein Care Center, without the need for any anesthesia. You will feel a sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered, but the treatment should be very tolerable. Procedures may take anywhere from 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of your treatment area, and you will be able to return to your regular activities right away. It is the quickness and convenience of Ultherapy that has earned the treatment its nickname of “lunchtime lift.”
While you may notice some initial improvement after your treatment session, the real results will become evident 3-4 months after your procedure. By this time, collagen is being produced to provide support to the underlying structure and produce a naturally firmer appearance. While the duration of the results varies from patient to patient, you can plan on enjoying your more youthful look for many months before any type of touch-up procedure is necessary.
Ultherapy has earned its reputation as the non-surgical facelift due to its comfort, convenience, and efficacy. We perform over 150 ultrasounds a month and our Ultherapists have several years of ultrasound experience.
