The mirror ceases to be your friend once you advance in years. You may try all kinds of home remedies and rely on eating right. Staying hydrated and getting enough sleep is not going to reverse the way your skin looks after you cross the age of 45-50. Going under the knife, as the celebs refer to cosmetic surgery, may not be an option for you. Well, you are always welcome to try the Ultherapy procedure instead.
This is a non-surgical option that will enable you to reverse the tell-tale signs of aging. The sagging jawline, stubborn fat deposits, crow’s feet, and wrinkles on the face and neck can be reduced substantially. You will have beautiful, blemish-free skin once again without having to think about any invasive procedures. Sure! It sounds almost miraculous but you need to be aware of the facts to give the go-ahead to the medical professional.
Ultherapy: What is it?
It is often described as a non-surgical type of facelift. Microfocused ultrasound technology will be utilized during the process. The technology will enhance the production of collagen and elastin in your body causing you to have taut, blemish-free skin over your face, neck, the upper part of the chest, and below the chin. This will allow you to wear low-cut garments that show off your décolletage perfectly once again.
The imaging devices are used by an experienced surgeon to access the layers of tissue beneath the upper layer of skin. A sculpted appearance is the result of effective Ultherapy. Do not be anxious about the legal implications, however. You will be pleased to know that the “U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)” approved this technique in 2009. Several types of facial enhancements can be done perfectly with the aid of Ultherapy at present. Feedbacks from the patients who have undergone the procedure have been mostly positive. Statistics reveal that 62.5% of patients have reported improvement of their facial skin with tautness being restored to a great degree.
Ultherapy Procedure: What does it involve?
There is absolutely no reason to be scared of the procedure. Remember that you feel no pain at all. However, it is always better to be well-prepared by remaining aware of the facts.
- You will be wheeled into a specific room for the treatment at first
- The doctor or a medical assistant will clean the required area of your skin i.e. the eyebrows, lower half of the face, neck, or upper chest thoroughly.
- An ultrasound gel will be applied carefully to the specific area
- The Ultherapy equipment will be positioned over the selected area covered with gel with the settings adjusted as per the requirement
- There is almost no pain associated with the procedure. However, you may experience some tingling sensation during the procedure. You are welcome to request pain medication in advance if you have a low pain threshold.
The time taken for completion of the Ultherapy procedure process is half an hour to one and half hours. You may require additional time when Ultherapy is used on your face or neck.
