Fine lines and wrinkles are one of the most common signs of aging that can make women appear older than they actually are. If you’re looking for a cosmetic treatment that will fix your skin imperfections, chances are you may have already heard about laser treatment and Ultherapy. While both can be used to smoothen fine lines and wrinkles, their overall results may differ.
The use of laser in cosmetic treatments has spread to include hair removal and liposuction to name a few. This is because laser technology has yielded favorable results without the pain and downtime for patients. While laser can target specific areas on the face and body such as the chest, its revitalizing effects to the skin and further, the layers of tissue underneath are limited, compared to Ultherapy. This is primarily because laser treatment makes use of light energy.
Ultherapy uses sound energy which can bypass the skin’s surface and target deep layers of tissue. To put it in another context, Ultherapy won’t just tighten your skin, which will aid in eliminating those fine lines and wrinkles, but it will also tone and lift your skin overtime, giving you better results in the long run. Laser treatment, on the other hand, is still an effective solution but more specific to the issues on the surface of the skin such as acne marks and pigmentation.
This is but a bird’s eye view of Ultherapy and laser treatment. If you have any inquiries about both treatments or to learn which is better for your case, you may direct all of your concerns to Dr. Tang when you schedule a one-on-one appointment with him. You may ask him about treatment combinations, side effects, and even the best post-procedure care regimen for your new skin.
