Appropriate Candidates for Ultherapy
Ultherapy is an FDA approved non-invasive treatment for skin tightening and facial rejuvenation. Any adult who suffers from loss of skin elasticity and is unhappy with it may be a marvelous or certainly a suitable candidate for this treatment. People who are unable or unwilling to undergo
plastic surgery treatment for cosmetic improvement of body contours may be particularly good candidates.
People who have sagging skin over the eyelids, lowered brows, or loose skin under the chin or the neck can achieve significant improvement with Ultherapy treatment. Most patients are in their thirties or older, who have mild to moderate laxity of skin. It is important to know that Ultherapy is not a replacement for facelift surgery. An experienced
plastic surgeon will advise patients the pros and cons of both options so that a patient can make informed choices.
How does Ultherapy work?
Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to stimulate the production of natural collagen in the underlying layers of skin. Collage is a natural protein that helps keep the skin firm and elastic. Collagen depletion occurs with aging and due to other factors. Ultherapy works on the principle of restoring the elasticity of skin and reversing the sagginess by way of natural collagen growth.
Highly focused ultrasound energy creates a thermal effect in the deeper tissue layers. This effect tends to jumpstart the process of natural repair and replenishment of collagen and causes the skin to become better toned, tighter, and having reduced laxity.
Laser Skin Tightening vs Ultherapy
Dr. Seify in Newport Beach, CA is an experienced
cosmetic surgeon who explains the difference between various skin tightening procedures to his patients so that they can make informed choices. When compared to laser skin tightening treatment, the supporters of Ultherapy are of the opinion that it offers superior effectiveness.
According to them, laser treatment is more effective in treating the superficial layers of the skin that can help reduce minor wrinkles and fine lines. Ultherapy on the other hand penetrates into the deeper connective tissue, stimulates collagen, and produces more natural looking and long lasting outcomes.
