Ulthera
Ulthera uses ultrasonic energy to tighten and lift skin. This technology works by targeting the deep layers of skin and stimulating collagen production, which results in firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Ulthera can be applied to various parts of the body, including the face, neck, and chest, making it a versatile option for those looking to improve their skin’s appearance.
Ulthera in Aurora, ON, treats mild to moderate skin laxity without surgical interventions. Results can typically be seen within two to three months as the body naturally produces collagen, with improvements continuing for up to six months. The effects of Ulthera are long-lasting, often persisting for over a year. To explore the benefits of Ulthera and how it can meet your skin care needs, book an appointment with the friendly team at Dr Amber Bocknek’s clinic in Aurora, ON.
Ultherapy is unique because it uses ultrasound energy focused on the foundational layers of the skin, including the SMAS layer typically addressed in cosmetic surgery. Unlike lasers and radiofrequency treatments, which primarily treat superficial skin layers, Ultherapy stimulates collagen production at deeper levels, offering more durable and natural-looking results.
Comfort levels can vary during Ultherapy treatment. Some patients may experience mild discomfort while the ultrasound energy is being delivered. This temporary sensation is a sign that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Your practitioner can use techniques to manage and minimize discomfort during the procedure.
The length of an Ultherapy treatment can depend on the treatment area and the specific treatment plan. Typically, a session lasts 30 to 90 minutes. Treating the face and neck generally takes about 60 to 90 minutes, while chest treatments might be closer to 30 minutes.
During Ultherapy, a clear gel is applied to the skin, and a smooth handpiece is placed on your skin. This handpiece delivers tiny amounts of focused ultrasound energy beneath the surface. During the treatment, you might feel the energy deposited to precise depths, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated.
Ultherapy is considered safe and FDA-approved. Side effects are typically mild and temporary. These may include slight redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated areas. Rarely do some patients experience temporary numbness or tingling, but these effects generally resolve quickly.
Ultherapy results can last over a year, but this varies by individual. Many patients choose to have annual touch-up treatments to maintain their results. Treatment frequency depends on the individual’s skin condition and natural aging process. Your provider can recommend the best schedule based on your specific skin needs and goals.
