What happens for Bay area patients during the Ulthera procedure?
Many patients who are ready to tackle the unwanted signs of aging have
found that the Ulthera procedure in the Bay area provides a
non-invasive, effective way to tighten and tone the skin to reduce fine
lines and wrinkles. Ulthera is a treatment that utilizes ultrasound
energy to heat the deep layers of the skin to improve collagen
production, which can create younger looking skin. Men and women have
enjoyed the benefits of Ulthera treatments on the face, and have noticed
amazing changes with a single treatment.
Dr. Christine Lee of The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute
in the Bay area is excited to offer this amazing state-of-the-art
technology to improve the skin. Patients as young as 35 years old can
enjoy Ulthera services and will notice dramatic improvements as the
months pass. This treatment provides gradual results that are natural
and beautiful.
Many patients who consult Dr. Christine Lee ask what they
can expect before, during, and after the Ulthera procedure.
Patients are expected to visit their dermatologist to
determine if they are an appropriate candidate for the Ulthera
procedure. Patients must have realistic expectations from the treatment,
and understand that it may not provide the same results as plastic
surgery. However, for patients who are experiencing the early signs of
aging, Ulthera might be the best option.
During the procedure, patients are made comfortable in the
treatment chair. The skin will be cleansed and the Ulthera device is set
at the appropriate treatment strength. The patient relaxes as the
device is used to heat the skin, but in a rather comfortable manner.
Many patients experience a slight heating sensation but find it
tolerable. The appointment will take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes from
start to finish when areas of the face are being treated.
After the procedure, patients may notice some redness of the
face, but this goes away within a few hours and can be covered with
cosmetics if necessary. Many patients go back to work immediately after
their appointment. Plastic surgery requires individuals to schedule
considerable time away from work and other activities to heal and
recover from the procedure, making Ulthera the best alternative for busy
individuals!
