Pleasant Hill area dermatologist answers, what is Ultherapy?

Patients interested in ways to address skin laxity often ask about
Ultherapy.
Ultherapy is a treatment that uses ultrasound energy to
target deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen, which can tighten
and firm the target areas. This can tone, lift, and tighten areas such
as the face and neck, which lose collagen over time and can result in
sagging, drooping skin. With Ultherapy, patients can hone in on these
problem areas and see dramatic improvement without undergoing a surgical
procedure such as a face-lift. Surgical treatments involve many risks
with anesthesia and infection, and can require extensive downtime for
recovery. Ultherapy allows patients to complete treatment in
approximately one hour and go about their day without skipping a beat!
Ultherapy is a unique, non-invasive procedure that is
effective, safe, and affordable. Many patients benefit from just one
treatment, and can see continued improvement over the course of several
months as collagen builds and tightens the targeted area. Ultrasound
imaging provides amazing results in as little as two months with one
procedure, though patients seeking dramatic improvement may benefit from
additional treatments.
Dr. Lee, of The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute is
excited to provide this FDA-cleared treatment to assist patients in
targeting areas of concern. The neck and face are often the areas that
benefit most from this treatment and can keep patients from considering
more invasive procedures such as a surgical face-lift through a Pleasant
Hill area plastic surgeon. Patients can enjoy the effects without the
recovery time and risks associated with surgical alternatives.
If you live in the Pleasant Hill area and you have
considered treatments such as Ultherapy, call The Skin and Laser
Treatment Institute today to find out if you are a viable candidate for
