What is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is an alternative to a surgical facelift. It can be used to reduce signs of aging, such as wrinkles and skin sagging on the neck, chest, and face. FDA-approved technology stimulates the production of collagen, which will give you a younger look.

Ultherapy has enjoyed a consistent rise in popularity among nonsurgical skin tightening techniques such as Ultherapy over the past few years. There was an 11.6% increase in its popularity from 2015 to 2016.

How does Ultherapy work?

Ultherapy targets the areas below the skin using focused ultrasound energy. The right temperature is used to stimulate collagen regeneration. The heat energy produced by the applicator targets different depths and affects three layers.

• muscle
• Skin
• superficial wrinkles

The ultrasound energy stimulates collagen production and elastic tissue. This should lead to firmer skin, less sagging, and fewer wrinkles.

Are there any side effects or potential risks?

The procedure usually results in a quick easing of sensations like heat or tingling.

Some areas may appear red or flushed after treatment. There might also be tingling, swelling, tenderness, and other short-term sensations. There may be some temporary bruising or numbness on rare occasions. However, these usually resolve within a few weeks.

What can you expect from Ultherapy?

Ultherapy usually doesn’t require any downtime. Ultherapy is a quick and painless procedure that allows you to resume work, exercise, and socializing immediately following treatment.

The first effects of Ultherapy are usually visible within days. This depends on how your body produces new collagen. Improvement can continue for as long as three months.

You can decide whether additional sessions are needed based on how your skin reacts to Ultherapy London.
