7 Things You Should Know About Ultherapy

Ultherapy basically uses ultrasound waves and energy produced by them, for treating the inner most layers of the skin. As a result of this treatment the skin becomes tight, firm, and gets a natural lift. It is becoming increasingly popular as the desired results are achieved without any disruption to the skin surface.

Let’s find out the all we need to know Ultherapy.

1. Facelift or Face Uplift

The body’s own ability to heal itself is the basis of this modern age treatment. It is executed without any surgery or invasion of the body at all. Most clients who opt for this treatment are looking to tighten the loose skin around the eye brows, neck and below the chin. It is a procedure completely approved by FDA.

2. Natural results

Client can see noticeable results immediately and they look completely natural, without any hint of a treatment. There is no need to wait for results, or use of any foreign substance or any change whatsoever. In very simple words the skin is given a boost from deep within, to create healthy effects on the outside. Patients can go about doing their daily activities after this 60-90 minute procedure. Over a period of time the cells will get renewed vigour from the boost.

3. Unique, Safe and Effective Alternative

Patients have reported back stating that they have observed positive boost over a period of 2 to 3 months. In some cases enhanced results were seen up to 6 months too. It is a very safe and effective alternative for people who are reluctant to go for a surgery or are medically barred to get one.

4. Enhanced Collagen Production

Lasers have been known to work on the skin from the outside. But in Ultherapy collagen is targeted, bypassing the surface layers of the skin. It is an inside out therapy, unlike others. The ultrasound energy is collaborated deep into the skin tissues.

5. See and treat treatment

Ultherapy is very different from other skin treatments available in the market today. The same way as a doctor sees the internal organs by an ultrasound, the skin doctor in this case checks out the collagen layer of the skin. He clearly identifies the target areas and successfully deposits pockets of ultrasound energy there. This is the same layer which is targeted by plastic surgeons during a facelift.

6. Body Response

After an Ultherapy session is over, the body responds by sending a signal of reconditioning to the weary skin and stimulates fresh growth. As a result there is a gradual lifting and tightening of the skin, back to its younger or youthful stage.

7. Ideal Candidate

Both men and women with relatively loose skin are ideal candidates for this treatment. Loosening of skin generally starts from the forehead and carries on till the eye brows. Loose skin on the cheeks and neck can lead to a flat look of the mid cheek. A downward mouth or a jaw line that looks lost and all kinds of sagging can also be treated.

Non-surgical Way to Lift, Tone and Tighten Skin: A Short Guide on Ultherapy

Since times immemorial, through poetry, songs and personal experiences, we’ve come to terms with the transiency of youth. However, this pondering upon lost beauty and vitality is a thing of the past for now newer and better methods to increase the permanence of youthful skin are just around the corners. Take for example, the newest type of cosmetic non-surgerical procedure on the block—Ultherapy. Still haven’t heard of it?

Well, let’s make an attempt to know it further, and better—

What is this Ultherapy?  

Ultherapy is a non-surgical procedure, which works by using medically approved ultrasound technology and lifts, firms and tightens the skin like a perfectionist on the face and neck region. Since it’s an UV technology, the effect is borne by the inner layers of the skin—the outer layer isn’t harmed in this process. It aims at giving a youthful radiance without having to lose the natural beauty of the face.

How does it work?

Ultherapy, which works on a UV technology, attempts to capture images of the deep layers of the skin, thereby finding out the most vulnerable spot therein. It then heats up that particular part, thereby naturally producing collagen which is responsible for maintaining the firmness of the skin.

The Areas Covered By Ultherapy

Ultherapy works upon the face and the upper region of the neck. Depending on the type of skin, it can be used upon the entire body or any localized position.

Is this an Investment?

Well, unlike other non-surgical methods, since this particular method works on inducing UV technology, doctors are able to have a glimpse of the inner layers of the skin prior to treatment. Hence, the end results come out safer and albeit, better! Besides, the cost is also much lower than other similar procedures.

Can You Undergo Ultherapy?

Well, unlike other methods, the use of this method can be prescribed only by a doctor. However, in usual cases, only healthy individuals whose skin has just began to age or who feel their skin losing its vitality, are recommended to this treatment.

How is Ultherapy Performed?

Ultherapy is performed by using a small handheld device which captures images of the inner layers of the skin which enables a doctor to identify the affected area and deliver low heat therein. It’s a non-anesthetic procedure and requires about 30 minutes after which the patients can head back home.

Is There Any Side Effect?

Well, no, there isn’t any side effect per se but some patients feel redness on their skin immediately after the treatment. However, it reportedly goes away within a few hours of the treatment. Rarely, some patients are found experiencing bruises and swells, but these too are mild and goes away shortly afterwards.

Is it approved by the US?

Yes, the therapy has been approved by FDA to be carried out in the US since 2009.
