A Smooth, Contoured Neck, Coming Right Up…

All About Ultherapy,
The most wonderful thing about cosmetic and plastic surgery these days is that there are both surgical and nonsurgical ways to tend to some of the most bothersome issues created by the aging process. When analyzing the effects aging has on the skin of the face, neck, and chest, many factors contribute, including the density of the bones that make up the base construction of the body, as well as the strength of the muscle layer as it expands and contracts over time. We also examine the various layers of the skin, including the epidermis, the dermis, fatty layers, and layers of muscle.

Finally, we look to the production of healthy, hydrated, and oxygenated skin cells. All of these moving parts age, especially in the face and neck, and at Vein Care Center, we know that our patients notice it but sometimes aren’t sure what to do about it. Not anymore – a smooth, contoured neck, coming right up…

Problem: Many Skin Care Regimens Miss the Neck and Chest

You know that losing volume and elasticity in the skin can create a sunken, hollow look in the face, but what about fat and muscle reduction in the neck and chest? Skin care recommendations and products often stop at the chin, and most people forget to extend cleansing, sun protection and moisturizing routines to the neck and décolletagé. This is a huge oversight, since those areas age at the same rate as the face, but the skin in the neck and chest is often thinner and needs the same, if not more attention. What happens when you forget to address the neck and décolletagé for years? You get the appearance of a turkey neck and crepey skin bordering your cleavage, which only gets worse when left without moisturizer and unprotected from sun damage. Moisturizing, cleansing, toning, and applying sunscreen to this area isn’t a surefire way to protect the tissues, but does slow the effects.

Apart from surface applications that are not able to adequately penetrate the skin of your neck to stall the march of the aging process, there are now options for you. The issues we’re talking about in the neck are things like platysmal banding, or the splitting of the neck muscles that causes these neck bands to appear. When muscle strength weakens, and the skin along with it, aging in the neck and chest can alter your appearance in a negative way. However, the solution that we’re looking for is here – Ultherapy. Ultherapy is the nonsurgical treatment that’s helped over 700,000 patients by treating the skin and supporting layers with ultrasound energy, reducing your need for invasive surgery and leaving the surface skin unharmed.

How does Ultherapy work?

Ultherapy modifies the layers of the skin and tissues that start to deteriorate or succumb to the stress of gravity. While prior treatments included only the neck lift (which is able to tighten the muscle and skin to reduce banding, as well as eliminate loose skin and muscle), Ultherapy can reach the same depth of 4.5mm deep. At 4.5mm, this is the optimal depth to affect the muscle layer as well as deliver energy to the dermis where neocollagenesis (creation of new collagen) starts.

Instead of using heat that can often cause disruption to the surface of your skin, Ultherapy delivers gentle energy to produce improvement below the surface. Ultherapy is a quick therapy that takes less than an hour, targeting tightening of the skin and muscle layers without cutting into the skin. Instead, we use a smoothly contoured hand piece that conforms to the skin and glides over the full length of the neck, chest, and around the submental (chin) area. The entire treatment is easy to perform since there’s no anesthesia, and it requires no recovery time.

You’re probably wondering how many treatments you’ll need and what else Ultherapy can do. While Ultherapy works on generating new collagen and muscle contraction, it’s also contouring the jawline and creating much smoother skin over time. The tone and texture of your tissues appear much improved over the next few months, and the treatment lasts for a year or more. As always, we think it’s important to do everything you can do avoid surgery if you don’t need it. Try Ultherapy and get to the core issue of an aging neck without incisions.
