As You Look For A Solution For A Younger-Looking You, Surgery Isn’t The Only Option. Through Ultrasound Technology, Ultherapy Accomplishes Just That.
Your face and neck are often the first places you notice wrinkles and sagging skin. With these areas naturally drawing attention, it’s easy to feel self-conscious as you age and perhaps feel that you look older than you are.
Surgery seems like it’s the only treatment that’ll get you results, but this isn’t the case.
Through Ultherapy, you can target those areas, lift and tighten, and look more youthful, without downtime or scarring. And it’s safe to use on other parts of your body besides your face and neck!
Change the way you think of rejuvenating the appearance of your skin.
A Brief Overview
Ultherapy was the first cosmetic procedure to use the power of ultrasound imaging to provide benefits. Yes, you heard that right — this treatment uses the same technology used to monitor women during pregnancy, and somehow it’s beneficial to the skin. For this reason, Ultherapy is generally considered safe for most people.
Through a 60- to 90-minute session, this treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production to tighten the skin, enhance its elasticity, and smooth out wrinkles, ultimately giving you a more youthful appearance.
Why Choose Ultherapy
Let’s talk surgery for a minute. The facelift was actually created in 1901 and has, since then, only been enhanced over time. While it’s still a popular choice, with nearly 80,000 being performed in 2024, it comes with an uncomfortable recovery period, scarring, and the risk of infection. And in case you didn’t know, the surgeon will actually lift the face using incisions.
But Ultherapy doesn’t lift facial skin in the same manner. We like to refer to it as an “uplift” because it gives you a refreshed appearance by gradually enhancing the skin’s support structure.
It’s ideal if you have mild to moderate skin laxity and want to avoid surgery, yet achieve natural-looking results.
This treatment doesn’t cause discomfort afterward, though you may feel some during the treatment. While it might not happen to everyone, it’s a sign that it’s prepping your body to build collagen and elastin.
Side effects from this therapy aren’t common and are generally minor, such as tingling, redness, or swelling at the treatment site. These tend to subside within the first few days to weeks after the treatment.
Many clients only need one session, making it a convenient way to elevate your appearance if you’re a busy individual. Plus, the results may last up to one year and can be maintained with annual follow-up treatments.
We should note that this is a highly tailored approach to lifting the skin. Your practitioner can see the tissue they’re delivering the sound waves to in real-time, so you receive results that blend well with your features and that look true to you.
Details About How It Works
Ultherapy uses ultrasound waves to target the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) in the face. It’s the group of muscles and connective tissue that helps you to smile and make other facial expressions. The ultrasound waves will heat that tissue at specific points.
Don’t worry, though, because it doesn’t get hot enough to burn your skin or the underlying tissue. Instead, it’s just warm enough to trick your body into thinking the tissue has been injured. It then sends collagen to the injured area to start the repair process. It may also stimulate elastin production.
Since it works in this manner, the results happen slowly over time because the body’s naturally healing process doesn’t happen overnight. Usually, the results continue to appear over a two-to-three-month span. Some clients even report seeing results happening for up to six months.
The time it takes allows the results to occur gradually, so people are wondering what you did differently, not what surgical procedure you had done.
Are You a Good Candidate?
You’re the ideal client for this treatment if you have mild to moderate skin issues. You’ll still notice some difference whenever you have more severe problems, but the results aren’t as noticeable.
Some clients visit us for preventative treatments. What happens is Ultherapy will strengthen the collagen and elastin to prevent noticeable changes from arising on the skin, allowing you to combat aging face on and decreasing the visible signs of aging.
Overall, it’s safe for most, though we may suggest not having the treatment if you have an active skin infection, cystic or severe acne, or any type of open wounds on your face. You’ll need to wait until after these clear before receiving Ultherapy to reduce the likelihood of irritating the condition.
We only recommend it for people who have realistic expectations. Yes, it’s been shown to work in over 50 clinical studies. However, everyone’s bodies respond differently to the treatment, for one. That’s not considering that the results aren’t the same as a true facelift, especially if you have severe signs of aging.
Ultherapy in Sugar Land, TX: See if it’s the Enhancement You’ve Been Hoping For
Seeing signs of aging is often a major concern for a person, but Ultherapy can be an enhancement that lessens their appearance and lets them put their best face forward.
If you don’t have those unwanted effects yet, you can use the treatment to delay them, allowing you to look younger for longer.
As a way to put your body’s natural processes to work, this therapy encourages your skin to enhance or rebuild its own structure — a unique approach to lifting the skin.
If you’re looking to improve the texture and tone as well as slightly lift the skin, a Fotona 4D Laser Facelift might be a better option, though it doesn’t tend to raise the skin as much as Ultherapy.
