What can a Lafayette area patient expect during Ultherapy treatment?
Patients in the Lafayette area who are seeking a solution to poor skin
laxity without undergoing a surgical procedure such as a face-lift often
consider the benefits of Ultherapy treatment. Dr. Lee, of The Skin and
Laser Treatment Institute offers Ultherapy for patients who want to
tighten, tone, and lift the skin on specific areas of the body.
Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared treatment that utilizes
ultrasound energy to target deeper layers of the skin to address
sagging, loose skin. Patients typically enjoy using Ultherapy on aging
areas of the body, including the face and neck.
This non-surgical treatment is a unique approach to target
problem areas without having to cut into the skin. Unlike lasers, which
target the superficial layers of the skin for the reduction of fine
lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation concerns, Ultherapy goes deep into the
skin to address the foundation of the skin to lift, support, and pull
to improve the appearance and tone.
During treatment, patients are extremely comfortable. The
area of treatment is thoroughly cleansed, and a special ultrasound gel
is applied. The Ultherapy treatment uses a handpiece that is placed on
the skin and is used to stimulate collagen growth deep underneath. There
may be a slight sensation felt as the ultrasound energy is delivered,
but it is well tolerated and can be controlled with medication taken
before the procedure.
Patients enjoy the ability to return to their daily
activities immediately after treatment. While they may experience some
redness and possible swelling for several days after their treatment,
these side effects are mild and temporary. Patients with any concerns
after treatment are encouraged to contact Dr. Lee if they believe there
is a more severe problem.
If you live in the Lafayette area and you are considering a
safe, quality treatment to firm the skin and improve the tone and
appearance of the face and neck, Ultherapy may be the solution for you.
Contact Dr. Lee and the team at The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute
today to schedule your initial consultation visit and examination to
determine if you are a candidate for Ultherapy treatment or any other
skin tightening or firming alternative.
