Everyone seems to have heard of it far too many times already that it should probably just retire.

In the past, those who want they’re facelifted to get rid of sagging skin or shape their face have to go under the knife with invasive procedures that go from bloody to bloody painful before they can look younger.

But with the technology, today, gone are the days of having surgery as the only option to get rid of unwanted fats and sagging skin. It is now possible to enhance and address various skin and body issues in an easier, safer, and non-invasive way with

ULTHERAPY

A NON-INVASIVE FACELIFT THAT WORKS

A facelift done with no cuts, no wounds, no downtime? Quite an overpromise don’t you think? Except that it’s not.

Ultherapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical alternative to a facelift. It’s a skin tightening procedure that uses ultrasound to counteract signs of aging such as sagging skin, wrinkles on the face, neck, and down to the chest. It’s an FDA-approved technology that stimulates collagen and elastin production in the body which results in a more tightened and more youthful glow all over.

Ultherapy is a product of Merz Pharma and was the only FDA certified non-invasive facelifting procedure. Since it was launched in 2015, Ultherapy has become one of the most in-demand skin liftings and tightening treatments in the Philippines and the United States. It has become one of the staple treatments in some of the known skin clinics and is tried and tested by many celebrities which contributed to its popularity.

BRING BACK COLLAGEN

Ultherapy specifically works by using focused ultrasound to target the deepest layer of the skin consisting of fat, ligament, and muscle. It uses the right temperature that supports the elastin and collagen regeneration from deep within the skin. As we age, the collagen in our body breaks down. This results in the skin losing its strength and elasticity. Through the ultrasound technology by Ultherapy, collagen formation is triggered in the body which makes the skin firmer and healthier looking.

The applicator is directed at different depths, affecting the layers of the skin, muscle, and wrinkles. As a result, it lifts the skin for more toned, less sagged, and youthful features.

A MORE LIFTED AND FIRM SKIN WITH NO INCISIONS, NO DOWNTIME, JUST LASTING RESULTS

The effects of Ultherapy are absolutely amazing. For visible results, it will only require one to two sessions to get the desired lift that you want for your skin. The results also show almost instantly with the optimal results showing up after a few months. With just a few minutes of treatment, you can get a more contoured face that can last for up to a year. As long as the collagen is reproduced, the better the result gets.

With ultrasound technology, the physician is able to see and treat the deepest support layers of the skin without any cutting. This procedure may involve some discomfort and tingling in which topical numbing cream is administered 45 minutes prior to the treatment. For some, they rather find this treatment rather soothing and relaxing.

Depending on the treatment, a single procedure can last up to 90 minutes. Ultherapy treatment on the chest takes about 30 minutes while the procedure for the neck and face can take about 60 to 90 minutes.

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH THE AFTER PROCEDURE

Unlike the invasive way of face lifting that involves some recovery time to heal the incisions made on the skin, Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment that does not usually have any downtime which allows you to go back to your normal activities immediately after the treatment.

But since the procedure involves some heat directed to the skin, it is normal for the skin to become flushed for hours as well as some tingling sensation, swelling, and tenderness in the skin. If your skin is sensitive to bruising, you may also get some minor bruising and numbness that typically go unnoticed and subside after a few days.

There are a lot of ways to keep yourself young-looking. If you want to look your best no matter how old you are, you need to give your skin the attention it needs. Good thing now, there’s Ultherapy— an easier, safer, and more effective alternative to surgery that effectively addresses the problems with loose skin the non-invasive way.
