The benefits of Ultherapy
Ultherapy uses ultrasound to apply heat to the deep layers of the skin. This heat stimulates new collagen to start growing. Collagen helps to keep skin look young, toned, and beautiful, but our bodies make less and less of it as we age.
An Ultherapy treatment is painless and simple – a device is simply moved across your skin. And, there are many other benefits to this procedure. It is safe and has been approved by the FDA. It is also noninvasive – you don’t have to worry about all of the hassle that comes with a surgical procedure such as a facelift, such as time spent in the hospital, and there is no downtime afterward. As soon as you leave your doctor’s office you can get right back to your normal activities. There is also no bruising or swelling. Many patients see benefits of Ultherapy treatment for up to 2 years, although it can take more than one treatment before you start to see a difference in your skin.
Ultherapy tones and tightens the skin, and is often used around the cheeks, jowls, and neck area. It is a great option for those who aren’t quite ready for a facelift yet, but are starting to notice some wrinkles. It is right for older people who aren’t happy with their skin looking and feeling loose, but people around the age of 30 are starting to have the procedure as well, to get ahead of wrinkles and tighten up their skin. People who have already had a facelift can benefit from Ultherapy as well, as sort of a “touch up.”
There are many advantages to Ultherapy, but perhaps the biggest advantage is how happy it makes patients! If you are interested in Ultherapy, call the office of Phillip Dahan, MD, FACS, for an appointment. Call the Reno, NV, office at 775-826-4477 today!
