As mentioned above, Ultherapy is a non-surgical alternative to the old school facelift. It’s used to counteract signs of aging, such as skin sagging, wrinkles on the face, neck and chest, as well as drooping of the brow area. The FDA-cleared technology stimulates new collagen production, which creates a more youthful look overall.
Ultherapy targets areas beneath the skin with focused ultrasound energy, using the right temperature to support collagen regeneration. The heat energy from the applicator is aimed at different depths, affecting three layers:
● muscle
● skin
● superficial wrinkles
The ultrasound energy stimulates collagen and elastic tissue, which results in firmer skin, less sagging, and fewer wrinkles if you stick with the treatments and appointments properly.
Listed below are some of the greatest benefits of UItherapy and why it is often so highly recommended.
The total cost of Ultherapy is determined by several factors:
● the area or areas being treated
● the number of sessions completed
● your geographic location
The average cost for a nonsurgical skin tightening procedure, such as Ultherapy, was $1802 in 2016. Compared to a typical and ordinary facelift, which costs a whopping average of $7503, Ultherapy is a much more affordable alternative.
Since the exact cost may be different in each individual case, contacting an Ultherapy provider in your area might give you a better idea about the ultimate cost. Although UItherapy is not covered by health/medical insurance, it’s relatively low cost still makes it a feasible option for most people.
Ultherapy treatment is an excellent alternative to lifting and tightening the facial skin, which previously could only be done through risky and scarring surgery. The treatment delivers precise amounts of ultrasound energy deep into the skin with no harm to the skin surface. Since this treatment uses an ultrasound technique, no toxins or incisions are used during this process, leaving no scars.
This enables significant improvement in wrinkles, lines, and sagging skin to be achieved in a safe and effective way. The ultherapy treatment is also ideal for individuals who are not allowed to go for surgery for health reasons.
Results only become apparent gradually, this means that your treatment will appear more natural. The therapy stimulates the cells under the skin to produce new collagen, a protein found in the human body, which keeps the skin looking plump, youthful and healthy. As more and more collagen is produced, the structure and elasticity of the facial skin start taking firm shape. The healing process and tightening of the skin occur naturally from around three to six months.
The FDA approved this therapy as the only safe non-surgical treatment for sagging facial skin and wrinkles after successful clinical studies and tens of thousands of sessions worldwide. Plus, ultrasound technology itself is not new in the medical field. It’s been used in medical imaging for over half a century.
While it is common for you to be hospitalized for at least 24 hours after you have gone through an ordinary facelift surgical procedure, this is not the case with Ultherapy. Ultrasound therapy is a fast and easy treatment which takes about 30-60 minutes, and does not require any medical attention afterward. This means that you won’t require several days of rest from work, and you can quickly get back to your normal daily activities and schedule.
Although the results’ duration can vary from one person to another and may not be immediately visible, they do last a lot longer than other treatments and procedures. Unlike other cosmetic treatments that require monthly or seasonal check-ups, ultrasound therapy results can last from one year to even many years after a single treatment.
In addition, if you wish to maintain the beautiful and youthful results of the treatment as long as possible, it’s highly recommended to keep a good daily skincare routine.
One of the best benefits of this treatment is that it can be customized to the individual’s needs. As an added bonus, the treatment can be applied to any facial area, making it ideal for use in conjunction with other cosmetic treatments. Skilled UItherapy professionals will help you map out a perfect treatment plan for you if you are interested in combining the therapy with injectable or resurfacing treatments.
Although Ultherapy has many benefits, it does come with some possible minor side effects, such as skin redness, numbness, tenderness, etc. However, they usually subside within a few days.
Consult with your doctor to make sure that UItherapy is safe and suitable for you.
