Medical Aesthetics and Laser offers Ultherapy, non-surgical facelift

THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- Finally, there is a non-invasive procedure to give a lift without going under the knife. Ultherapy is the only non-invasive procedure FDA approved to lift the skin on the neck, chin and brow. Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to target below the skin to stimulate the collagen without disrupting the outer layers. This means that there is no downtime with this procedure and very few side effects. This is what men and women have been waiting for with the busy lives that everyone lives these days.

Ultherapy is performed by a trained professional in a physician’s office. A consultation is required before the treatment to determine if you are a good candidate for this type of a procedure. A good candidate is someone who is noticing that their skin is looking “relaxed” and feeling less firm. Usually, the breaking down of collagen starts in the mid-thirties and is induced by sun exposure, smoking, and other external factors. The focused energy from the Ultherapy device heats the deeper structural layers of the skin causing the body to heal which results in tighter, firmer and lifted skin within months. This is a natural way of stimulating the collagen without using injections or surgery.

Once the consultation is performed and a good candidate is selected, the 60 minute procedure is performed in a relaxed setting. The skin is cleansed and ultrasound gel is applied before touching the smooth handpiece to the skin and delivering the heat. The comfort levels vary from patient to patient however there is no discomfort once the procedure has been performed. Patients have reported some redness and mild swelling for a few days but can resume there normal activities.

Results unfold over the course of 2-3 months but some results have been seen immediately after the treatment. The results can last several years with the right care of the skin and guidance from your provider.
