Ultherapy® is making people in San Diego and elsewhere rethink the way that they look at aging. This is a safe anti-aging procedure that does not involve surgery. Its purpose is to reverse the negative effects that time and gravity have on the way that you look. What makes this procedure so powerful is that it works alongside with your body using the natural regenerative powers nature provided each and every one of us. The goal is to lift the skin on your face and neck. The results are fewer wrinkles and a more youthful appearance.
There are a few things that make Ultherapy® unique as opposed to other non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedures. First and foremost, the procedure works. Proof of this is seen by the fact that this is the only treatment of its sort that has received FDA approval to lift and tighten your skin. Another unique feature of this therapy is that it uses ultrasound imaging. This means that when our practitioner is performing the procedure, they are able to pinpoint the layers of skin that they are going to treat. This means that the energy is being directed right where it needs to go to provide the best results.
Ultherapy® is not designed to replace a traditional facelift. However, the results that you receive from Ultherapy® can be similar to those you would receive from a facelift in that both of them are designed to address the deep foundations of your skin. This is a procedure that is a great option for people in San Diego who are not quite ready to undergo a surgical procedure. If you want to look better, look younger, address unwanted wrinkles, and tighten up the overall appearance of your skin, then you should look into Ultherapy®.
It is important to point out that Ultherapy® is not a laser treatment. Laser therapy uses energy produced by light. Ultherapy®, on the other hand, uses ultrasound energy. This form of energy can easily bypass the external layers of your skin, producing results in the deeper layers of your skin. This is something that is not accomplished by any other non-invasive cosmetic procedure. As the procedure stimulates collagen production, the base foundation of your skin becomes stronger. Your skin and your facial tissues tighten and lift gradually over the course of the following months.
