Patients enjoy safety, comfort, and other benefits of Ulthera treatment in the Bay Area

Bay Area residents with lax skin can get a “lift” without having to go under the knife, thanks to the latest technologies in the capable hands of Dr. Christine Lee and her team at The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute.

Dr. Lee has not only harnessed medical advances for the benefit of her patients, but she has driven medical advances to non-surgically lift and tighten skin with lasers. Other non-invasive treatments have been introduced using controlled application of cool temperatures and Radio frequency energy to sculpt flabby or fleshy areas.

Both RF energy and laser beams deliver heat to tighten and firm tissues. The Ulthera system is also designed to heat deep tissues on the face, neck, and chest; however, the heat is delivered through thousands of short, but intense pulses of ultrasonic waves.

Ultrasound has been used in medical imaging for years. Patients should sleep easier knowing Ulthera is based off of a technology that is proven, safe, and boasts low risks.

Specific benefits of the Ultherapy procedure include:

Ulthera treatment in the Bay Area
  • Collagen regeneration – Unlike other noninvasive techniques, Ulthera heats deep tissues to simulate the production of firming collagen protein.
  • Bypasses surface skin – Due to the unique properties of sound waves, the Ulthera system allows for deep penetration and powerful treatment without damaging superficial tissues.
  • Predictable, safe results – Dr. Lee and her team use ultrasound imaging to see how the energy is being distributed through the skin, which enhances the effectiveness of the procedure.
  • Comfortable – Many patients compare the procedure to a warm massage which is limited to when the tiny amounts of energy are delivered.
  • No downtime – After the 30- to 90-minute treatment session, you can immediately get back to work and other activities. Side effects are temporary, and commonly limited to flushing, swelling, tenderness, and tingling.

Some improvement may be visible immediately following treatment. Dramatic improvements are realized as new collagen is produced. This process generally takes 2 to 6 months. Since changes occur gradually, treatment results look natural and not “plastic.” You can regain youthful contours with a single session.

Rethink the statement: “No pain, no gain.” You can gain a refreshed appearance without the scalpel, shots, anesthesia, pain medications, risks of complications, and recovery associated with other procedures.
