Pleasant Hill area dermatologist reviews the advantages of Ultherapy over plastic surgery
Although some patients in the Pleasant Hill area might be considering plastic surgery, they will find that there are several risks associated with these treatments. Additionally, they can be expensive and require extensive time to recover. Instead, patients are visiting Dr. Christine Lee, of The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute to learn about less invasive methods such as Ultherapy for addressing sagging skin and fat deposits. Dr. Christine Lee is happy to consult with patients and she reviews the clear advantages of Ultherapy over conventional plastic surgeries for body contouring and skin tightening.
Gradual Results
Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to help improve the structural supports of the skin and target unwanted fat cells in the treatment areas. It also helps in stimulating collagen production. Because of this, the results are not immediate, but are gradual. This helps in providing patients with a more natural change to the body instead of drastic results.
No Downtime
Plastic surgery often requires patients to schedule weeks-even months-of downtime. This may require patients to take considerable time off work and daily activities, including exercise. Instead, Ultherapy allows patients to have their treatment done in-office and then get back to their busy lifestyles.
No Knives or Anesthesia
Patients who have Ultherapy done with Dr. Christine Lee will not require
anesthetics, and will not have to fear “going under the knife.”
Additionally, by eliminating the need to cut into the skin, patients
eliminate their risks of infection due to surgical access points.
Affordable
In comparison to conventional plastic surgery, Ultherapy treatments are considerably more affordable. While they can cost thousands of dollars for several treatments, the many benefits they provide over surgical intervention add more value to this alternative solution.
Effective
While the results of Ultherapy may not be the same as plastic surgery, they are still dramatic changes that can allow patients to lose several inches from various areas of the body, as well as tighten and tone their skin. This allows individuals to see effective results without the disadvantages associated with a face lift or tummy tuck.
