Signs of aging creep on your fast, and the next thing you know, those fine lines are now turning into crow’s feet. The skin on your arms, neck and other areas is drooping and sagging thanks to aging and gravity. But what if we tell you there is a non-surgical procedure to help keep those arms from flapping and your neck from looking like a turkey?

Ultherapy is a breakthrough in cosmetic treatments. It allows people to have firmer skin without the downtime of cosmetic surgery. In this post, we will look at Ultherapy and how it stands up against good old cosmetic surgery to lift your skin.

What is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is a non-surgical, FDA-cleared ultrasound treatment that lifts and tightens the skin on the face, neck, chin, and brow. Ultherapy uses state-of-the-art ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer, younger-looking skin. 

Ultherapy is often used as an alternative to facelift surgery and can complement other cosmetic procedures such as Botox injections or laser skin resurfacing. The procedure is typically performed in an outpatient setting, and most patients experience little to no discomfort during the treatment. Ultherapy results are usually visible after a few months, and the effects can last up to a year or longer.

How Does Ultherapy Work?

Ultherapy works by heating the deep tissue layers under the skin, which triggers the production of new collagen. Collagen is a vital component of the skin’s support structure; as we age, our bodies produce less and less of it. Ultherapy can help to counteract this process, resulting in firmer, younger-looking skin.

The new collagen helps to lift and support the skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance. During the session, the body recognizes the heat as damage and responds by creating new collagen fibers, resulting in lifted skin on the face, neck, and brow. Collagen continues to build for up to six months following your procedure, resulting in long-lasting results.

Ultherapy is often used as an alternative to facelift surgery, as it provides similar results without the invasiveness or recovery time. The Ultherapy procedure usually takes 60-90 minutes, and you may see some initial effects right after the procedure. Still, the full effect will occur over two to three months as your body produces new collagen.

Benefits of Ultherapy

Ultherapy can help you achieve a more youthful appearance without surgery or downtime. This procedure is the only procedure that uses ultrasound imaging, which allows the doctor to see the layers of tissue and deliver the right amount of energy at the correct depth. 

Ultherapy can lift the brow, improve lines and wrinkles on the forehead, improve under-eye hollows, reduce sagging skin on the eyelids, and improve lines and wrinkles around the mouth. 

The procedure can also be used to improve the appearance of turkey neck and droopy jowls. Ultherapy is safe for all skin types and has been proven effective in clinical studies. Ultimately, Ultherapy can help you achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance without surgery or downtime. 

Ultherapy vs. Other Methods

Concerning other methods, Ultherapy is the only FDA-approved procedure that helps rejuvenate the skin by catalyzing collagen production and sculpting areas where the procedure is being done.

As mentioned, ultrasounds are used to stimulate collagen production, which then results in firmer, refreshed, and rejuvenated skin. With increased collagen production, the skin retains its elasticity and firms up again rather than continuously sags downward.

A tummy tuck, facelift, and other procedure that aims to reduce skin sagging are other methods that can also be done to achieve such outcomes.

However, these procedures all come with the risks of surgery, such as infections, blood loss, and even death. Likewise, all cosmetic surgeries come out the way a client would want them to. We’ve seen all over the news the numerous horrifying and botched cosmetic surgery stories that lead to deformities and further complications.

Additionally, with surgery comes downtime. The healing process will take months and even years. Individuals who undergo cosmetic surgery to lift skin will have to be bedridden for days. It doesn’t stop there, as there will be numerous follow-ups with the doctor to see if the wounds are healing correctly and if there are no infections.

After that, you will still be immobilized. Likewise, bruising will occur in those areas, so you must cover up for a long time before these areas fully heal. Once they are healed, you may even need to have procedures and treatments for the scarring they will leave.

Ultherapy takes away those risks and other hurdles in just a few sessions. The procedure is non-invasive, non-surgical, and guarantees results in a few months without downtime. Results are also heightened once you go back for a few sessions to continuously sculpt your problem areas.

Possible Risks and Side Effects

While ultherapy is generally safe, there are a few possible risks and side effects to be aware of. The most common side effect is minor discomfort during the procedure, which can usually be alleviated with a local anesthetic. 

There is also a small risk of more severe side effects such as nerve damage, burns, and temporary skin numbness. Before opting for ultherapy, be sure to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to weigh the risks and benefits. 

With ultherapy, you can achieve a more youthful appearance with minimal downtime. You just need to be sure to go into your treatment informed about all potential risks and side effects. Also, if you’re hesitant if this treatment is for you, you can always go to a medical professional for guidance and opinion about ultherapy.
