Technology:
Ultherapy is the gold standard, and the most popular ultrasound energy device for non-surgical face lifting. Its revolutionary “high intensity focused ultrasound” allows precise energy delivery to different layers of the skin.
The 4.5mm treatment tip specifically targets the SMAS layer of the face, which is also targeted in a deep plane facial lift; the 3.0mm treatment tip specifically targets the dermis.
What do you expect during the treatment?
Numbing cream will be applied to the face for approximately 30 minutes to ensure your comfort, most people find the procedure tolerable.
A treatment gel is applied to the treatment area, and slight heat sensation can be felt during the treatment.
It takes about one to two hour per session, with minimal downtime, therefore it is suitable as a “lunchtime treatment”.
What do you expect after the treatment?
The skin can feel a bit warm, and red, which settles very quickly over the next hour or two. It shouldn’t affect the daily activities. Mild swelling or sometimes faint bruising can be expected.
Ultherapy is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the skin on the face, neck, and décolletage. It is FDA-approved and has gained popularity as a non-surgical alternative to traditional facelifts. Here's an overview of Ultherapy:
Benefits:
Skin tightening: Ultherapy stimulates the production of new collagen, resulting in firmer, tighter skin.
Lifting: The procedure can lift sagging skin, particularly in areas such as the brows, jawline, and neck.
Wrinkle reduction: By promoting collagen remodeling, Ultherapy can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Non-invasive: Unlike surgical facelifts, Ultherapy is non-invasive and requires no incisions or downtime.
Long-lasting results: While individual results may vary, the effects of Ultherapy can last for up to a year or more, with some people opting for touch-up treatments as needed.
Safety:
Ultherapy is considered a safe procedure when performed by a trained and experienced healthcare professional.
Side effects are usually mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, and mild discomfort, which typically resolve within a few days.
Number of Sessions:
The number of sessions required varies depending on the individual's goals, age, the condition of the skin, and other factors.
While some people may achieve their desired results after a single treatment session, others may benefit from doing a second session 6-9 month apart.
Maintenance treatments may be recommended to prolong the results over time.
