Can Walnut Creek area patients lift and tighten with Ultherapy treatments?
Patients who are unhappy with areas of their bodies that are beginning
to experience skin laxity and fine lines and wrinkles may want to learn
more about dermatological methods to address the unwanted signs of aging
and changes to the body over time. Many men and women who are dealing
with fine lines, wrinkles, and folds on the face due to aging consider
undergoing invasive surgical procedures such as face lifts. However,
Walnut Creek area residents can consider another non-invasive method for
achieving similar results.
Ultherapy is an FDA-approved method of lifting and
tightening the skin on hard to treat areas such as the face. Instead of
going “under the knife” to achieve a more youthful appearance, patients
can enjoy ultrasound energy to stimulate the body’s natural method of
healing to lift, tone, and tighten loose skin over the face, neck, chin,
and body.
Ultherapy uses an innovative device to deliver ultrasound
energy to targeted areas of the face and body to stimulate the
structural layers of support underneath the skin, the same layers that
are tightened during a surgical facelift. However, Ultherapy achieves
similar results without having to disturb the surface of the skin and
without scarring and long recovery times for healing.
With Ultherapy treatments, there is no downtime, surgical
intervention, or drastic changes. Instead, the changes occur over the
course of time as the body builds collagen. This improves the elasticity
of the skin and tightens it, allowing men and women to achieve a more
youthful appearance with just a few in-office treatments.
Dr. Christine Lee, of The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute
in the Walnut Creek area, offers amazing technology such as Ultherapy
to new and existing patients in her practice. This state-of-the-art
method of addressing skin laxity, body contouring, and fine lines and
wrinkles has drastically changed the way patients think about surgical
procedures. Although Ultherapy cannot match the results of traditional
plastic surgeries, it is an inviting alternative to those dealing with
the earlier signs of aging and who want an effective way to minimize the
concerns associated with skin laxity and volume loss.
