Top 5 Reasons To Opt For Ultherapy For Your Face And Neck Uplift | Kosmoderma

Introduction

The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) found about 83 percent of all cosmetic procedures conducted in 2023 to be minimally invasive, which means the rest 13% were surgical ones. These numbers indicate that people are increasingly preferring non-invasive treatments that provide noticeable results with low downtime.

Now, one of the most popular minimally invasive treatments is the FDA-approved Ultherapy. This non-invasive procedure uplifts and tightens the skin on your chest, neck, and face.

Moreover, it entails the use of advanced ultrasound technology to promote collagen production in the deep layers of the skin for a rejuvenated look and feel.

Let’s now explore more about this innovative procedure and the various reasons for its rising popularity.

All about Ultherapy

Ultherapy involves the use of micro-focused ultrasound energy to promote collagen production. Like cosmetic surgery, it targets the same foundational layers. However, unlike cosmetic procedures, Ultherapy does not include incisions. As part of this procedure, the skin is contracted to tighten it, resulting in the toning and renewal of the skin.

Now, as we become older, the body’s ability to produce collagen, the skin protein that makes our skin firm and supple, dwindles. Ultherapy helps to restore the skin’s structural integrity to combat this decline. Besides lifting and tightening the skin, chin, and neck, Ultherapy irons out your fine lines and wrinkles to impart a youthful appearance. This renewed ability of the body to produce new collagen for natural-looking results is what makes Ultherapy stand out amongst other procedures.

5 Noteworthy Aspects of Ultherapy

Among 5 distinguishing features of Ultherapy are:

(i) Non-Invasive and FDA-Certified

Ultherapy boasts of being the only non-invasive procedure that has FDA accreditation. This procedure is deemed to be safe and effective to lift and tighten your skin. It deploys cutting-edge ultrasound technology to reverse the signs of aging without leaving any scars or cuts. More so, patients recover soon after the procedure, which means the downtime is minimal.

(ii) Systematic Targeting

Collagen is produced in the deep layers within the skin and that’s the region that Ultherapy targets. When ultrasound energy reaches the skin’s depths, it propels the body to manufacture collagen to lift and tighten your skin whilst making it firm and elastic.

(ii) Precise Action

As part of Ultherapy, the practitioners rely on ultrasound imaging to see the layers to treat, whereby they can deliver energy to specific areas for the best results. This degree of precision makes treatment effective and it is considered safe because only the targeted areas are affected, without impacting the adjoining tissues.

(iv) Low Downtime

Ultherapy is an effective anti-aging procedure that allows you to resume your daily routine within a few hours. Yes, the results are noticeable immediately and there’s minimal downtime involved. This makes it ideal for individuals leading busy lifestyles.

(v) Customizable

Ultherapy procedures can be customized to match your specific requirements. The use of ultrasound imaging allows the healthcare experts to scan the targeted tissues, ensuring accurate energy delivery. Although some patients may experience some discomfort, our skin experts at Kosmoderma make all efforts to keep you comforted.

What areas does Ultherapy Target?

Ultherapy treats various parts of the body, including:

Ø  Eyebrows: You can reduce your droopy look by uplifting the brow area

Ø  Jawline: You can look more youthful with a defined jawline and fewer jowls

Ø  Neck: Turkey Neck is characterized by sagging skin on the neck, which is treatable with Ultherapy

Ø  Chest: This procedure can make the skin around the chest smoother

Are Ultherapy Results Long Lasting?

After undergoing the Ultherapy procedure, you will notice the results after 3 months. Also, the results of Ultherapy last for 2 to 3 years. Moreover, many patients opt for top-up treatments every few years to remain youthful-looking for long.

How to Prepare for Ultherapy?

Ultherapy involves minimal preparation. You can eat, drink, exercise, and work as normal before and after the procedure. Only make sure you remove makeup and cream from the targeted areas before the treatment session. More so, you should talk to your dermatologist if you want to consume anti-inflammatory or pain-relieving medicines beforehand.

What does Ultherapy Involve?

The cosmetologist will first clean the targeted areas of any oil and residue, after which they will apply ultrasound gel. Subsequently, the Ultherapy device is kept on your body to adjust the settings via an ultrasound viewer. The ultrasound energy then reaches the targeted areas, whereby you may experience a tingling sensation. You may have to consume medications to alleviate any pain or discomforting sensations. Finally, the applicator is removed from your body.

Ultherapy sessions can last for up to 90 minutes; it all depends on the treatment required. Ultherapy on the face and neck areas goes on for 60 to 90 minutes and on the chest for 30 minutes or so.
