Have you ever wondered how some people manage to age gracefully? Look closer, and you’ll see that it’s not that they don’t have fine lines and wrinkles. They do have signs of aging, but somehow these aren’t as prominent, and they simply look great for their age. What’s their secret? For celebrities like Christie Brinkley, it’s none other than Ultherapy skin tightening treatment.
The Role of Collagen
What makes Ultherapy different from other cosmetic treatments is that it makes use of ultrasound imagery to treat these signs of aging. Whether you want to improve the appearance of crow’s feet or frown lines, Ultherapy technology can get deep under the skin and target the layers of tissue underneath to jumpstart neocollagenesis, the body’s natural process for creating collagen. Why is collagen so important?
In a nutshell, collagen is the protein that helps hold the skin together. As we age, our bodies begin to produce less and less collagen and our skin loses its elasticity as well. The result is what we often see in the mirror when we hit our mid- or late-30s, with loose and sagging skin. As mentioned, Ultherapy uses sound energy to bypass the surface of the skin and stimulate collagen production. This is also why results of Ultherapy only begin to shine after several weeks, post-treatment. Your body has its own time and process for creating fresh, new collagen.
Through Ultherapy, millions of women have tightened their skin without the pain and downtime of surgery. Ultherapy is the only non-invasive treatment that can reach the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), the same layer of tissue that invasive surgical procedures treat.
Aging gracefully and seemingly turning back the hands of time is now possible with Ultherapy. To find out whether you’re a candidate for Ultherapy or to schedule an appointment, please do not hesitate to a href=”http://www.rejuvemedical.com/contact-us/”>contact us at (408) 740-5320.
