Skin tightening is a concept that is growing in interest as the anti-aging methods become faster, more cost effective and less painful. Non-surgical procedures, like Ultherapy, are seeing a great deal of interest because there is no recovery or downtime, minimal risk of infection or scarring, not to mention the natural-looking results.
The way Ultherapy works is it uses ultrasound technology to gradually strengthen, lift and tone loose skin from deep within. It is different from other skin tightening treatments because it is the only treatment that targets the deep foundations below the skin, which is generally only addressed with surgical procedures. Ultherapy is also the only treatment that is able to show imaging, due to its ultrasound technology, to actually see the layers of tissue that are targeted during the procedure and to ensure that the energy is focused precisely where it will be the most effective.
One of the biggest reasons why Ultherapy has gained interest is because it is known to keep your skin tight and maintain a youthful appearance, for up to one year after the procedure. The reason the results last so long is because Ultherapy treatment also has properties that jump start your bodies natural collagen production. Another great advantage of this 60 to 90 minute procedure is that the majority of patients only require one treatment to benefit from the results, which is uncommon for most non-surgical treatments.
The best way to know if you are a good candidate is to speak to a board certified surgeon, however, patients that have the following would be good candidates for Ultherapy:
- Skin that looks, but most importantly feels less firm
- A lower eyebrow line
- Sagging skin on the eyelids
Talk to a dermatologist and see if this treatment is right for you.
