ULTHERAPY

 

Ultherapy is the only non-invasive treatment cleared by the FDA for lifting the skin on the neck, chin, and brow, and improving lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. Ultherapy uses micro focused ultrasound to lift and tighten loose skin over time, without any downtime.

Some facts about Ultherapy are:-

It is not a facelift.

As ageing happens, skin begins to sag or become “loose”. Before the only way to counteract it was with surgery. With Ultherapy, there is no surgery involved and the technology is the most advanced on the market. It uses ultrasound - the time-tested technology used for decades - and the body’s natural healing process to lift your skin.

Your body’s healing naturally lifts and tightens skin.

Ultherapy uses your body’s natural healing process to lift and tighten the skin. Ultherapy stimulates the deep structural support layers beneath the surface of the skin. Your body’s natural reaction to repair that stimulated area is called neocollegenesis. Your body produces fresh new collagen and the effect of this process is that the skin is lifted and tightened.

There is virtually no recovery time.

Since Ultherapy is not surgery and not invasive, your recovery after a 60-90 minute in-clinic procedure is virtually immediate. You will need someone to drive you home after the procedure but most times you can go about your day on the same day as normal procedure. The level of discomfort that may be experienced is different for each patient. Some say that it feels like a deep buzz that is more annoying than painful. While others have reported it feels like a warm pulse that amplifies.

This sensation is temporary, as it only lasts while the ultrasound energy is given. Patients may experience redness that lasts for a few hours and tenderness that may last for a few weeks. The tenderness may feel like you have just exercised that muscle. 

Since it is a natural process, results occur over 2 to 3 months.

Since Ultherapy uses your body’s natural reaction and healing, you will see your best skin lifting and tightening results typically at about the 2-to-3-month mark. Some patients even experience continued improvement for upwards of 6 months.

Ultherapy is not a laser.

Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology. Lasers work on your skin from the “outside-in.”  Not so with Ultherapy, which works from the “inside-out.”  It bypasses the surface of the skin and penetrates deep within the skin tissues leaving no marks or scars. By doing this, it works to lift and tighten the skin non-invasively. It never disturbs the surface of your skin.

Safe for all skin types.

Ultherapy is colourblind. This means it is safe to use in patients with skin of any colour and all skin types. The ultrasound energy bypasses the more superficial layers of skin, leaving them intact and unharmed.

One visit is all that is needed to tighten and lift skin.

Just one 60–90-minute visit is needed to see great results. Your body and its own ageing process will also determine the time it takes to come back for more tightening.

No preparation required before your procedure.

Before your treatment, you need not do anything special to prepare for your Ultherapy session. The practitioners may recommend an over-the-counter or prescribed medication be taken prior to the treatment if you feel it is necessary for pain management. Typically, patients feel some discomfort during the procedure. This indicates that the procedure is working and collagen is already being restored.

Someone with “relaxed” or maturing skin is a good candidate.

You may be a candidate for Ultherapy if you are experiencing skin laxity, sagging or droopy skin on the neck and below the chin line, lowered eyebrows or age lines on the chest.

Side Effects.

You can expect mild redness on the surface of our skin after the treatment.

In addition, a small percentage of patients can experience some of the following things:

• slight swelling
• tingling
• bruising
• sensitivity to touch
• temporary numbness on a small area of the skin

All of these side effects are mild and temporary in nature - we will be able to resume normal activities within the next 24 hours. In some cases, people can go back to work right after the treatment. However, depending on our personal preferences, you can take a day off from work but that is not always necessary.

When it comes to long-term side effects that include hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation, medical professionals have discussed those as well. Yet they have not been able to notice any of them in the months and years following the treatment.

Nerve injury is also a side effect that has been under debate. However, if Ultherapy is performed by an experienced and professional physician, the risk of nerve injury is basically non-existent.

Lastly, some people have connected thermal burns with Ultherapy but those are also impossible to happen if we choose a medical expert who knows how to perform the treatment safely.

Conclusion.

Even though it is non-invasive, Ultherapy is a medical procedure; as such, it inevitably comes with potential risks. However, common side effects are very mild and temporary in nature. That allows the patients to resume their normal activities within the 24 hours after the treatment.

When it comes to serious side effects, those are particularly rare and they have typically been linked to irresponsible and incompetent execution. Therefore, you must select an experienced physician who knows how to perform Ultherapy safely.
