Results from Ulthera Treatments Can Achieve Incredibly Smoother Skin

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011

Ulthera continues to got noticed for delivering measured results for patients, according to television news from WTHR in Indianapolis. An Ulthera treatment is able to promote collagen production and tightening of the skin. It creates a subtle smoothing and requires little to no downtime.

What Can an Ulthera Treatment Correct?

Ulthera is FDA approved to treat loose skin on the face and neck and can correct a variety of issues. Commonly patients may undergo this treatment to correct:

  • skin crepiness
  • fine lines around the eyes
  • nasolabial folds
  • marionette lines
  • a downturned mouth

In this clip, a 61 year old who wore glasses to hide the aged look around her eyes, chose to undergo an Ulthera treatment to combat aging. She says she wasn’t happy with how she looked and also struggled with jowls on her lower face and a “turkey neck.”

The patient is pleased with the results and says the procedure was fairly comfortable, comparing the sensation to the snapping of a rubber band. She says she more often wears her glasses on her head than over her eyes and notes that other people have taken note of the benefits she gained from her Ulthera treatment. She says she is often told by people that her skin looks “incredible.”

Ulthera Procedures Echo A Facelift, But Without Surgery

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

Ulthera procedures, which are growing in popularity and recognition, are able to provide a “lift” to areas of skin on the face that have begun to sag with age and as a result of sun damage.

This unique treatment uses focused heat to stimulate the deep layers of your skin. When the heat penetrates to the collagen beneath your skin, a regenerative process is kick started. The body begins to promote the growth of collagen, a necessary component of youthful skin. Collagen not only helps create a smoother appearance, but also provides volume to the skin.

Ulthera works in ways similar to a facelift or brow lift in that it targets the SMAS layer of skin, a key muscle system on the face. By tightening the skin and muscle of the SMAS, Ulthera procedures (and facial rejuvenation surgeries) provide optimal skin smoothing effects. This results in a reduction in wrinkles and also works to lift skin that has begun to sag.

Most commonly, patients undergo Ulthera procedures to correct a descending brow. This condition, which can worsen with age, causes wrinkles and lines to form around the eyes. In some cases, a descending brow can also inhibit vision and correction is necessary for some patients.

The treatment itself takes just half an hour to one hour to complete and provides some immediate correction. Though heat is applied to the skin, the most dramatic changes will take place two to three months after your Ulthera procedure, at which point the body at the treatment site will greatly increase local collagen.

Patients with good skin elasticity will see long-lasting results from the Ulthera procedure, though many patients elect to schedule follow-up treatments to maintain the skin smoothing effects.
