Achieving facelift results with no incisions or downtime might seem like an overstretched thought. However, with non-invasive alternatives to the facelift, you can restore your youthful contours and flaunt a new look. Thanks to options like Ultherapy, you will not have to bear ‘beauty marks’ from incisions. By reaching deep layers of your skin, the treatment will tighten your skin and lift your facial muscles, giving you a younger look.Dr. Sofia Din in Yonkers is an expert aesthetician you may consult to help you mitigate aging signs.
How does Ultherapy work?
Ultherapy uses advanced ultrasound technology to counteract fine lines and wrinkles by lifting and tightening various areas of your face including the jawline, neck, and brow. The treatment works by stimulating collagen production in your skin’s deep layers, giving you a noticeable lift after a few months (approximately two or three months). During the procedure, your doctor gets to see the skin layers he is working on to ensure the deposits of energy rays where they are most beneficial. Thanks to the addition of Ultherapy Décolletage treatment to Ultherapy, your healthcare provider may also use the procedure to enhance the appearance of fine lines on your chest.
How is the treatment distinct from other laser treatments?
Ultherapy’s sound energy boasts unique properties that allow the rays to bypass your skin’s surface and reach significant depths that are not accessible by other non-invasive cosmetic devices. Once the focused energy reaches your treatment areas, it jumpstarts neocollagenesis (a natural process), triggering it to produce new collagen.
Unlike Ultherapy, other laser treatments only rely on light energy that may not penetrate your skin’s deep layers at optimal temperatures. As a result, the light energy-centered laser process can only address superficial skin concerns but not facelifts. However, your doctor can combine the two technologies to address various skin issues, thanks to their compatibility.
Who is suitable for Ultherapy?
Your doctor will recommend the procedure if you have mild to moderate skin laxity, having skin that begins to lose its elasticity. The only way to know if you need the treatment is to consult your healthcare provider. Skin concerns like loose skin on your neck, sagging skin under your chin, or chest wrinkles are signs you can benefit from the procedure.
When should you expect to see your results?
After your doctor is through with the treatment, you are likely to see initial effects. However, it may take you approximately two to three months to experience ultimate results. How long the results will last depend on your body’s collagen production. Although your body produces collagen from inside your body, your natural aging activity will dictate how your visible results will appear on the outside. Your doctor may also recommend future touch-up processes to keep up with your body’s aging process.
Ultherapy is your best option when you want to counteract your aging signs but are afraid of the scalpel and the downtime that comes with a facelift. However, the treatment cannot address all skin concerns. Contact your doctor to know if the treatment method may be ideal for you.
