Why might patients in San Francisco consider Ultherapy treatment?

The signs of aging can wreak havoc on specific areas of the body, including the face. Skin begins to droop and fine lines and wrinkles start to form. Adult patients often visit Dr. Christine Lee of The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute to find out if there is a non-invasive way to address these problems. While face-lift surgery is often done for severe cases of skin laxity, many patients do not want to deal with the downtime and risks involved. Instead, patients in the San Francisco areas can seek an alternative solution called Ultherapy treatment.

Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared device that delivers ultrasound energy to the skin to stimulate collagen production to tighten and firm the skin. This state-of-the-art device can provide noticeable improvement in skin laxity, and can help tone and lift areas of the face including the chin, neck, jowls, and brows. Both men and women often choose Ultherapy treatment over surgery.

Ultherapy treatment has many benefits, which is why most patients strongly consider the treatment to target areas of skin laxity. This procedure does not involve incision, long recovery time, or general anesthesia. Patients can undergo a quick treatment that takes a little more than an hour and then go about their life with no interruptions. The results of Ultherapy are seen over time, with most results seen in as little as two months. Some patients have reported seeing improvement continue for approximately six months post-treatment. One treatment can provide sufficient results, but some patients prefer to continue treatments at least once a year to combat the inevitable signs of aging.

San Francisco area patients who are interested in learning more about Ultherapy treatment are encouraged to visit The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute and speak with Dr. Christine Lee about this and many other laser and ultrasound treatments available to target skin laxity. Now is the time to battle the signs of aging and see results without the need for expensive surgical procedures and weeks of downtime.
