If you’re in search of the ultimate makeover without downtime or surgery, then a combination treatment could be right up your alley. A combination treatment involves different types of procedures; in this case, non-invasive cosmetic procedures, which could include Ultherapy skin tightening if your target issues have to do with facial skin laxity and other facial skin problems.
Bear in mind, however, that not all non-invasive treatments are a perfect match. For instance, if you’re thinking about undergoing Ultherapy to lift sagging skin around your eyebrows, your doctor might prescribe another type of skin tightening treatment (one that deposits energy beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production) on the same problem area after your Ultherapy session to further tighten the skin.
On that note, the best person to ask about the combination treatment that best fits your goal and budget is an experienced licensed cosmetic doctor. If you’ve already decided on undergoing Ultherapy skin tightening treatment to lift loose or sagging skin around your eyebrows, under the chin, and/or around the neck, here are a few non-invasive treatments that complement it:
1. SmartXide DOT CO2 Laser
SmartXide DOT is one of the latest innovations in non-invasive laser-assisted skin treatments. It uses a technique called fractional technology wherein the skin has targeted a fraction at a time through modulated beams of light that penetrate the skin.
This allows for improved comfort and faster recovery times.
This fractional CO2 laser treatment addresses some of the most common signs of aging, including:
- Facial skin laxity
- Sun damage
- Brown spots
- Fine lines and wrinkles
Additionally, SmartXide DOT therapy can also soften acne scars, making them less visible.
2. Laser skin resurfacing
In general, any type of laser-assisted treatment can be combined with Ultherapy skin tightening. It all depends on your problem areas and your goals. When you consult Dr. Tang at Rejuvé, he will assess your skin condition and identify problem areas to determine the exact treatments you can receive to complement your Ultherapy skin tightening therapy.
If you’re bothered by acne scars, sun and/or age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles, a procedure known as laser skin resurfacing might be included in your combination treatment plan. What this treatment does is to improve damaged skin, soften fine lines and wrinkles, and reduce the visibility of sunspots and age spots. Like SmartXide, this procedure also uses fractional technology to minimize discomfort and prevent damage to the skin surrounding the target area.
3. Botox and fillers
You can complement the natural-looking lift achieved through Ultherapy with Botox and fillers to reduce wrinkle visibility. Botox and dermal fillers are different although they are both injectables. Botox temporarily paralyzes the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles to appear while dermal fillers add volume to the target area, plumping up the skin to restores its youthful glow.
