28 Apr The Upside to Ultherapy
In the age-defying search for radiant and youthful skin, numerous treatments have emerged, each promising to turn back the hands of time. Among these, Ultherapy has gained popularity as a non-invasive and effective solution—today, it’s one of the most popular noninvasive treatment options at RefinedMD. Using the power of ultrasound technology, Ultherapy rejuvenates the skin by stimulating collagen production, resulting in firmer, tighter, and more lifted skin. How does Ultherapy actually work, and why are celebrities flocking to it? Let’s find out.
As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and firmness, leading to sagging and wrinkles. Ultherapy addresses these concerns by targeting the deep layers of the skin, where collagen production occurs. According to a study published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, Ultherapy treatment resulted in significant improvements in skin laxity, with 89% of patients experiencing visible lifting effects after just three months.
Non-Invasive with Minimal Downtime
Unlike surgical facelifts, Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that requires no incisions or anesthesia. In fact, you can get right back to your daily tasks after your session (which can last anywhere from 30 – 90 minutes depending on treatment areas, but keep in mind you also need 45 minutes for the numbing cream to work). This makes it an attractive option for individuals seeking to rejuvenate their appearance without the risks and downtime associated with surgery. In a clinical trial conducted by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, over 95% of patients reported minimal to no downtime after undergoing Ultherapy treatment,
One of the key advantages of Ultherapy is its ability to target specific areas of concern, allowing for a customized treatment approach tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Whether it’s lifting the brows, tightening the jawline, or smoothing out wrinkles on the neck, Ultherapy can be adjusted to deliver precise and targeted results. A study published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal found that 86% of patients reported improvement in the targeted areas following Ultherapy treatment, highlighting its versatility and efficacy. Although Ultherapy was originally designed as the no-surgery “facelift alternative,” it can actually be used anywhere on the face or body where tightening is desired.
Long-lasting Results with Ultherapy
While some cosmetic treatments offer temporary results that fade over time, Ultherapy delivers long-lasting benefits that continue to improve over several months. By stimulating the body’s natural collagen production process, Ultherapy helps to rebuild the skin’s foundation, resulting in gradual and sustainable improvements. According to a study published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open, the majority of patients maintained noticeable improvements in skin laxity and tightness for up to one year after undergoing Ultherapy treatment. After that year, you can always opt for another treatment, or perhaps try out the Ultherapy cousin, ThermageFLX, and see which one you prefer. One is not better than the other, but we offer both in our clinic to give you the options you deserve.
Ultherapy is FDA-approved for use in dermatology and has a proven safety profile backed by years of clinical research and real-world experience. Unlike some other cosmetic procedures that carry potential risks and complications, Ultherapy is considered a safe and effective option for skin rejuvenation. A systematic review published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology concluded that Ultherapy is a low-risk procedure with high patient satisfaction rates and minimal adverse effects.
Ultherapy offers a multitude of benefits for individuals seeking to reverse the signs of aging and achieve smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin. Backed by statistics and studies, Ultherapy stands out as a non-invasive, customizable, and long-lasting solution with minimal downtime and proven safety. Whether you’re looking to lift sagging brows, tighten the jawline, or smooth out wrinkles on the neck, Ultherapy can help you unlock the fountain of youth and rejuvenate your appearance with confidence.
