There are a number of non-surgical procedures available for people who want to take years off their face but are afraid to go under the knife. The question now is, which one is for you? The latest breakthrough in non-invasive procedures that target sagging skin is Ultherapy treatment.
What sets this treatment apart from other non-surgical cosmetic procedures is that it is able to target the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) which connects the facial muscles to the deeper layers of the face. By tightening this layer, the procedure gives patients better and more visible results.
How It Works
With Ultherapy skin tightening, sound waves are manipulated through an applicator to produce the right temperature for effective penetration under the skin. These sound waves stimulate the body’s natural collagen-producing process to improve skin elasticity. The result is tighter skin.
Primary target areas of Ultherapy are the eyebrows, chin, and neck.
By targeting your body’s natural collagen-producing process, the procedure does away with artificial injections and other synthetic solutions to correct skin issues associated with aging. This means that you will not be subjected to chemicals that may induce allergic reactions.
Decrease in Collagen Production
Collagen production decreases as we age. Typically, by the time we reach 40, collagen production has decreased so much that skin elasticity is greatly affected, resulting in sagging skin. Skin under the chin may start to sag or that the eyebrows are beginning to look a bit droopy.
With Ultherapy for the chin and neck areas, you will begin to see a noticeable improvement immediately after your first session, but results become more prominent after about 60 to 90 days. This is how long it takes for your body to produce collagen.
When you look at your Ultherapy before and after pictures, you will definitely see major improvements on the treated areas.
