The signs of aging on the face can appear as early as our mid-20s and continue to progress over time. Many people consider a surgical facelift to restore their youthful appearance as fine lines, wrinkles, and lax skin on the face and neck become more noticeable. A facelift will correct all of these concerns. However, there may be a faster and easier way to get similar results without surgery or downtime: Ultherapy®.
Ultherapy® is an ultrasound-based non-invasive therapy that stimulates collagen production in the treated areas. Collagen is a protein within the skin and tissues that provides flexibility and strength. This allows Ultherapy® treatments to tighten sagging skin.
At his Beverly Hills practice, Dr. Chiu is always introducing new cutting-edge treatments. He prides himself on ensuring that every patient has access to high-quality treatments to reach their aesthetic goals. Ultherapy® provides a youthful and natural-looking appearance.
By stimulating collagen production in the skin, Ultherapy® causes the treated tissues to tighten and become stronger. The effects of this treatment are dramatic. Unlike other treatments to address these concerns (such as a facelift), Ultherapy® is entirely non-invasive.
As people age, their bodies produce fewer proteins that keep the skin tight, youthful, and able to bounce back. This causes skin laxity. By promoting collagen and elastin production, you can help increase your skin’s elasticity, allowing it to contract. Ultherapy® reduces laxity and helps ensure skin returns to its ideal state after being stretched out.
Skin becomes thinner and looser over time. This causes the skin to sag, which is a significant sign of aging. Ultherapy® treatments can reduce the effects of sagging skin by stimulating collagen to thicken and strengthen the skin. This not only slows skin from sagging further but can reverse existing sagging as the skin regenerates.
Wrinkles form as skin ages and the tissue wears out. Fortunately, Ultherapy® can rejuvenate the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. If you are concerned with wrinkles on your face, neck, or upper chest, Ultherapy® can help. Because this technology uses ultrasound energy, there is no surgery, post-treatment scarring, or fillers needed.
When you come in for an Ultherapy® treatment, you should expect the treatment to take between 30 minutes and an hour.
During your Ultherapy® treatment, an ultrasound gel will be placed over the targeted area. An Ultherapy® treatment applicator will then be placed on the treatment location.
When the device is activated, it may feel slightly warm or buzz with minor vibrations. Neither sensation should cause discomfort.
Your technician will move the applicator over the treatment area several times. This may take between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Patients can relax during treatment.
Ultherapy® is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment, which means it can be used in conjunction with other treatment options.
These may include the following:
If non-invasive treatments do not provide the results you are looking for, you may want to consider surgical alternatives such as:
Patients may immediately return to daily activities. Slight redness may occur for a few hours.
Any slight tingling, swelling, redness, or tenderness should fade by this point.
Initial results may begin to appear within 2 weeks.
Dr. Chiu is an exceptional surgeon with extensive experience in a range of skin rejuvenation procedures. He makes sure to customize his approach depending on the patient’s needs. Dr. Chiu is regarded in the industry among colleagues, patients, peers, and international media as one of the best plastic surgeons in the world. He can provide you with the cosmetic results you are looking for.
The cost of Ultherapy® can vary depending on the number of areas being treated and the size of the treatment area. In general, Ultherapy® treatments are very affordable and provide excellent results.
Ultherapy® is FDA approved for non-surgical skin tightening, and there are no known severe side effects caused by Ultherapy® treatments. Ultherapy® has been used for years with thousands of treatments performed. While no treatment is guaranteed to be one hundred percent safe, Ultherapy® is as close as cosmetic procedures get.
If you are interested in a non-invasive treatment to address sagging skin, excess skin laxity, or wrinkles, you are a potential candidate for Ultherapy® treatments. Ideal candidates should not have any open wounds or skin conditions in the treatment area.
The collagen produced by Ultherapy® is long lasting but will diminish with age, just like naturally occurring collagen. Repeated treatments can be performed to maintain optimal results. Most patients have reported results lasting between one and two years. Talk with Dr. Chiu about how often you should come in for follow-up treatments.
We look forward to helping you achieve a youthful, refreshed appearance with Ultherapy®!
