Ultherapy

Stimulate Collagen Deep Within the Skin!

Ultherapy is an FDA-authorized medical procedure designed to lift the skin on the neck, chest, chin, and brow without invasive surgery. Previously, sagging jowls and necklines necessitated surgical intervention, but not anymore thanks to Ultherapy. In some cases, patients can achieve their desired outcome in a single treatment. The treatment employs focused ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. There is minimal downtime associated with Ultherapy, allowing patients to resume their daily routine, including work or exercise, on the same day. Ultherapy is available at Virtual Skin Spa, which has locations in Long Island and NYC.

WHAT IS ULTHERAPY?

The FDA has sanctioned Ultherapy as the sole non-invasive therapy for lifting the skin on the neck, chin, and brow. Ultherapy accomplishes this by utilizing focused ultrasound technology to elevate loose skin gradually, with no downtime.

HOW ULTHERAPY WORKS

Through the use of ultrasound technology, Ultherapy is the only non-surgical cosmetic treatment that can boost the development of fresh collagen. As the production of collagen occurs gradually, the effects may take up to three to six months to become more apparent. Most patients can complete the procedure within an hour, and there is no downtime.

ULTHERAPY BENEFITS

The results of Ultherapy can still be seen for up to one year after the treatment, although it is worth noting that the aging process of the skin continues. Aging varies with each individual, but to keep up with the aging process, future touch-up sessions may be required.

IS ULTHERAPY SAFETY?

After undergoing extensive clinical studies that proved its safety, Ultherapy received clearance from the FDA. Over 100,000 treatments have been safely administered worldwide. Furthermore, ultrasound technology has been utilized in the medical field for more than half a century and has a proven track record.

Ultherapy in Long Island

Collagen is a natural protein that helps maintain skin’s firmness and tone, contributing to its youthful appearance that loses some strength as we get older. Ultherapy utilizes focused ultrasound to create a thermal effect beneath the skin. This effect kickstarts a repair process that strengthens existing collagen while also stimulating the growth of new, fresh collagen.

FAQ’s

Does Ultherapy Hurt?

Although Ultherapy is a short procedure, patients may experience some discomfort during the treatment. However, we take precautions to ensure that the experience is as painless as possible. Most patients are able to tolerate the procedure well and leave our office feeling elated with their new appearance. During your consultation, we may discuss the possibility of taking medications to alleviate discomfort.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Following the procedure, some patients may experience slight redness for up to an hour or so. In a few cases, mild and temporary symptoms such as swelling, tingling, or tenderness to the touch may occur. However, these symptoms are mild and temporary.

How Many Treatments Does It Take?

While most patients require only one treatment, it is possible that some may benefit from multiple sessions. The number of treatments required varies depending on the individual and the extent of skin laxity, as well as their body’s response to the ultrasound and collagen-production process.

Ideal Candidates for Ultherapy

Ultherapy is recommended for individuals whose skin has a certain degree of laxity, which may cause it to appear less firm. The initial signs of aging may include a lowered eyebrow line or sagging skin on the eyelids. Individuals with loose skin on the neck or under the chin may also benefit from the treatment. Typically, candidates are in their thirties or older and have mild to moderate skin laxity. While Ultherapy is not a substitute for a surgical facelift, it is an ideal option for individuals who desire lifting but do not seek surgery. It is also a popular option for younger individuals who wish to maintain their youthful appearance or prolong the effects of cosmetic surgery.
