The signs of aging can be a beautiful thing, but not when the body starts changing so fast that you lose control over your appearance. Unfortunately, the skin is the first place to show the signs of aging, as it can get thin, discolored, and wrinkled.
As you get older, you may notice things such as creases and fine lines on the face, sagging skin under the chin, and a heavy brow. Even if you have not started to experience these symptoms yet, you might still be looking for a way to stay ahead of the game and prolong your youthful look.
Many people assume that the only way to truly get rid of wrinkles and win a successful battle over the signs of aging is to get a surgical facelift. However, those looking for alternative ways to improve their skin’s elasticity are in luck. Ultherapy® is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that can help you target and lift loose skin, bringing your natural, youthful glow back for many years to come.
If you are ready to transform your face into a healthier and more youthful state of being, you may be wondering if Ultherapy® is the right treatment for you. Is Ultherapy® really worth it? If you are looking for a non-invasive treatment without long recovery times, this may be the perfect treatment for you to receive from an expert team of Medical Professionals at Ideal Image.
How Ultherapy® Works
Your Medical Professionals at Ideal Image can use focused ultrasound to boost your skin’s collagen and elastin. Ultherapy® targets the dermis at precise depths and stimulates collagen production and subsequent skin lifting and tightening while keeping the epidermis intact. Targeted ultrasound energy heats dermal tissue and ignites the collagen production process. Since it works from the inside out, this is one of many types of treatments we offer that encourages your body to heal gradually using a natural process. This means that while the results of your non-surgical Ultherapy® treatment may not be instant, they will be long-lasting. Many clients look forward to seeing the full results of their Ultherapy® treatment in just three to six months following their in-office appointment.
How Effective Is Ultherapy®?
Skin tightness and smoothness are often associated with looking young, so it is easy to understand why anyone would want to commit to this type of treatment. There are few drawbacks to Ultherapy® other than possible discomfort while the treatment is being performed. Our Medical Professionals will work diligently to ensure your maximum comfort throughout treatment. Once the Ultherapy® session is complete, clients are able to walk right out and return to their busy lives without having to take any time off to heal.
Ultherapy® Pros And Cons
If you are wondering whether or not you are the right candidate for Ultherapy® at your local Ideal Image, take a look at the following Ultherapy® pros and cons and get in touch with one of our knowledgeable Aesthetic Consultants to find out if this is the right treatment for you :
- Pro: Ultherapy® Is Non-Invasive
-
-
- If your skin is less supple and youthful than it once was but you want something non-invasive, Ultherapy® may be perfect for you. This option is great for those who are interested in targeting specific areas of their face that need a lift, such as the eyes, chin, and neck. The treatment delivers targeted energy into the structural tissue where collagen resides, which is different from lasers that actually penetrate and can harm the surface of your skin. As a completely non-invasive type of treatment, Ultherapy® is an excellent choice for keeping your skin looking its best.
-
- Pro: Ultherapy® Has a Great Safety Profile
-
-
- Ultherapy® has been FDA cleared since 2009 and used worldwide, delivering more than 3 million treatments. Our Medical Professionals at Ideal Image have gone through extensive procedural training to ensure we are using Ultherapy® in the safest, most effective manner. You can feel confident knowing that your non-surgical treatment will be as safe and efficient as possible.
-
- Pro: Ultherapy® Requires No Downtime
-
- Unlike invasive surgical facelifts and other intensive treatments, there is minimal to no downtime required for an Ultherapy® treatment. While it is possible to feel some pain and discomfort during the 30 to 90-minute session, the pain should subside soon after the treatment is complete. From there, your body is left to do all of the healing work on its own, allowing you to continue living your life with no interruptions. You can go about your normal activities as soon as your treatment is complete.
You may notice some redness on the treated area for a while, but it should disappear within the first few hours after your treatment. Whether or not you are dealing with a hectic work schedule, Ultherapy® is the perfect treatment, as it gives you the flexibility to maintain your work and responsibilities while also being able to take care of yourself.
- Pro: Ultherapy® Offers Much-Needed TLC To Your Skin
-
-
- Anyone with noticeable signs of aging on their face will want to invest in proactive treatment methods to keep the years off. If you look at your face in the mirror and feel like it has lost a degree of elasticity, it might start to become looser and more wrinkled. Instead of letting more wrinkles appear or even letting your skin get to that point, you can see if you are a good candidate for Ultherapy® when you reach out to a local Aesthetic Consultant in person or online. You can learn more about this non-invasive rejuvenation, which can treat sagging eyelids, jowling, and loose skin on the neck.
-
- Con: Ultherapy Treatments Can Be Spicy
-
-
- Although non-invasive, Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to generate heat in the skin. It is this heat that creates treatment zones in dermal tissue, igniting the production of collagen and elastin and ultimately lifting and tightening the skin. While pain tolerance is personal, some clients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable or even a little spicy. At Ideal Image, our Medical Professionals will do their best to mitigate any discomfort and provide the safest most effective treatment possible.
-
- Con: Ultherapy® Takes Time To Show Results
-
- Because Ultherapy works with your body to encourage its natural processes and relies on the collagen production cycle, it takes some time for results to become visible. It can take the body 4-12 weeks to produce collagen, which explains why full results are typically seen around 3 months following treatment. During your personal consultation with an Aesthetic Consultant, you can discuss your goals and establish a clearer timeline of treatments so you know exactly what to expect.
