Ultherapy treatment is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure administered to patients who wish to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and lift sagging and loose skin. It is an FDA-cleared treatment that gives the patient a natural looking lift so if you have any hesitations for fear that it might look like you had something done, you can eliminate your worries with this procedure!
As with any cosmetic procedure, non-invasive or otherwise, it is recommended that you first seek an initial consultation with the doctor who will be administering the treatment. Initial consultation is done for several reasons, the most important of which are accurate evaluation of your skin condition and the patient’s treatment goals.
As for the matter of determining the number of sessions that you will need for your Ultherapy treatment plan, these largely depend on three factors: the extent of skin laxity and condition of lines and wrinkles, your body’s natural response to ultrasound energy, and your body’s collagen production process.
It is precisely for these factors that you should only consult a licensed physician with years of experience in successfully performing Ultherapy on patients, understanding that each patient has unique needs and goals.
For some, a single session is enough to tighten sagging or loose skin; while for others, two or more sessions are ideal. Also, it is recommended that you undergo future touch-up treatments to help you keep the aging process at bay.
Sagging skin caused by skin aging is a natural process and even after a successful Ultherapy treatment, your skin may begin to lose its elasticity and plumpness over a period of time. Discuss your touch-up treatments with Dr. John Tang so you’ll have a better idea of how these are done following a successful skin tightening procedure with Ultherapy.
