If you’ve looked in the mirror lately and noticed that wrinkles and fine lines on your chest area appear more prominent, or that you suddenly have this “waddle” under the chin, don’t be alarmed. These are caused by loss of skin elasticity, which is part of the aging process. Ultherapy skin tightening treatment targets these specific skin issues caused by aging.
Briefly, Ultherapy is a non-invasive skin tightening procedure that helps reduce wrinkle visibility and smoothens lines on the décolletage, tighten loose or sagging skin under the chin and on the neck, and lifts the droopy skin around the eyebrows.
If you’ve been considering undergoing the procedure for a while now but you’re still not quite sure it’s the right one for you, here are a few key facts about Ultherapy that might help you finally decide to at least consult your doctor about it:
It’s the best alternative to a surgical face lift
If you want a natural-looking lift without going under the knife, Ultherapy is your best option. It is one of the latest technological breakthroughs in non-invasive cosmetic treatments that effectively lifts sagging skin, and smoothens out lines and wrinkles on the chest area.
It doesn’t use fillers or other injectables
Fillers and other injectables like Botox are used to temporarily reduce wrinkle visibility, either by adding volume to the skin or temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause the wrinkles to appear. Ultherapy, on the other hand, uses ultrasound imagery for precision, targeting the specific tissues of each area for treatment, and focused sound waves to deliver heat energy on the target areas and stimulate collagen production.
Because it stimulates the body’s own collagen-producing system, the results achieved are as natural as it can get.
It’s FDA-cleared
Ultherapy is actually the only non-invasive cosmetic procedure cleared by the FDA for tightening loose or sagging skin on the face, neck, under the chin, and around the eyebrows. It is also the only FDA-cleared non-surgical treatment for improving wrinkles and lines on the chest area.
It requires no downtime or recovery period
Being a non-invasive procedure that can be done within 60 to 90 minutes, Ultherapy is practically a quick e that allows patients to immediately return to their schedule without delay.
Results may not be visible for at least two months after treatment
Since the procedure also relies on the body’s collagen-producing capacity, results may not be immediately visible. Don’t be disheartened if you don’t see or feel any different one or two months after your Ultherapy. In some patients, optimal results are achieved after six months. It all depends on the body’s collagen production and natural aging process.
