Designed to lift, tighten and tone sagging skin on the face and around the eyes as well as on the neck and chest, Ultherapy is a skin-tightening treatment that uses high-intensity ultrasound energy to deliver heat deep into the skin. According to plastic surgeon Dr. Gabriel Chiu of Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery<\/a>, \u201cThis heat helps existing collagen contract and prompts the body to naturally produce more, which results in a visible lift and improvement in skin laxity, crepey appearance, fine lines and wrinkles without affecting the surface of the skin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Chiu explains, \u201cThis non-invasive treatment is ideal for younger patients who desire facial rejuvenation but aren\u2019t quite ready for a facelift, and those who want to put off or avoid surgery.\u201d Each Ultherapy treatment takes less than an hour for the full face, about a half-four the cheeks or neck, and approximately 10 minutes for brow area or around the eyes. Patients report feeling slight discomfort that can include the sensation of heat or prickling during treatment. Although anesthesia is not necessary for patients who undergo Ultherapy, some opt to take oral medication beforehand to optimize their comfort.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne Ultherapy treatment often delivers the skin-tightening improvement that patients are looking for, but some may require two session spaced six weeks apart for optimal results,\u201d says Dr. Chiu. \u201cCombining Ultherapy with other non-surgical treatments like injectables and laser resurfacing helps provide comprehensive rejuvenation without incisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Benefit #1: Ultherapy is non-invasive<\/strong>
\nAny surgery comes along with some degree of risk. \u201cUltherapy can provide significant improvement in sagging skin without the potential side effects of anesthesia or unforeseen complications associated with post-procedure healing,\u201d Dr. Chiu shares.<\/p>\n

Benefit #2: Ultherapy is customizable
\n<\/strong>\u201cA wonderful feature of the Ultherapy treatment is that its ultrasound imaging allows the doctor visualize the lower layers of the skin. This means the heat can be directed to the precise locations that are in most need of improvement,\u201d explains Dr. Chiu.<\/p>\n

Benefit #3: No downtime<\/strong>
\nAlthough the skin may appear red or flushed immediately after Ultherapy, patients can get back to their usual schedule immediately without activity restrictions. Slight swelling, tingling or tenderness may persist in the treated areas for about one week after the procedure, but most patients say these side effects are mild\u2014if they occur at all.<\/p>\n

Benefit #4: Natural-looking results
\n<\/strong>\u201cSince Ultherapy results gradually become apparent within the first month after treatment, there\u2019s no dramatic \u2018reveal\u2019 that tells the world you had something done,\u201d Dr. Chiu explains adding, \u201cFinal outcomes are generally visible three to six months after Ultherapy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Benefit #5: Long-lasting improvement
\n<\/strong>The skin-tightening results achieved with Ultherapy are due to rejuvenating collagen deep within the skin. According to Dr. Chiu, \u201cThis treatment basically pauses the aging process in treated areas, and most patients\u2019 improvement lasts for about two years.\u201d<\/p>\n

As with other rejuvenating treatments and procedures, it\u2019s important to understand that Ultherapy is technique-dependent, which is why it\u2019s essential to choose a doctor who has experience using the technology. Dr. Chiu has also found that proper at-home skincare before and after Ultherapy can enhance results. \u201cAt the very least, using a vitamin C antioxidant serum in the morning and a retinoid at night both before and after Ultherapy can help optimize the skin\u2019s collagen production and yield even better outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
