Walnut Creek area patients ask their dermatologist about Ultherapy and want to know, how long does it last?
At The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute we want our patients in the
Walnut Creek area to take the time to learn about all the ways in which
they can improve their skin and body with cosmetic treatments. Dr.
Christine Lee speaks to many individuals who want to address
imperfections of the skin such as skin laxity which is the primary
culprit for fine lines and wrinkles developing on the face. Our practice
offers a wide range of treatments that can help, including injectables.
However, some patients may want more long-term results, in which we may
suggest the benefits of Ultherapy.
Ultherapy is a non-invasive and non-surgical solution to
skin laxity. It uses focused ultrasound energy to target the deep layers
of the skin and assist in stimulating the body’s own natural healing
process. It can help stimulate collagen production while tightening,
toning, and lifting loose skin on the face, neck, and even the
décolletage.
Dr. Christine Lee of The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute
encourages patients to consider this treatment because of the many
benefits it provides without downtime or surgery. Patients love having
the ability to address the tone and firmness of their skin without
regular injections or surgical intervention. Patients will not
experience any downtime and will be able to see the results in a gradual
fashion—allowing them to turn back the hands of time in a more
“discreet” way than plastic surgery.
Patients will often ask their dermatologist, how long does
it last? Ultherapy results will last at least one year with the
stimulation of extra collagen. Patients should have realistic
expectations and understand that there is no way to completely stop or
reverse the signs of aging, but it can be slowed. Patients who undergo
Ultherapy can have regular appointments or incorporate other anti-aging
solutions such as injections into their skin care routine to address
fine lines and wrinkles as they form.
Dr. Christine Lee and the team of The Skin and Laser
Treatment Institute work with new and existing patients in their
practice to help both men and women in enhancing their natural
appearance with today’s advanced technologies.
