Non-invasive Ultrasound Lift

Ultherapy is a non-surgical treatment, ideally suited for patients who are unwilling or unable to undergo plastic surgery to reduce the signs of aging. Ultherapy works best on the face and neck. It employs ultrasound technology to lift and tighten sagging skin in a safe and simple way.

The risks that are typically associated with a surgery are avoided, and there is no downtime involved. The goal of Ultherapy is to provide strength to the natural layers of collagen underlying the skin and induce the production of fresh collagen. Collagen helps the skin become tighter and reduces wrinkles and lines in a natural way.

Unique Procedure

Dr. V says, “Ultherapy is a unique treatment that adopts a completely different approach compared to other cosmetic anti-aging procedures. It is the only non-invasive cosmetic treatment that is based on ultrasound technology. It manages to target the deeper layers of the skin without making a single cut or incision, and not even using a needle.” Another advantage with Ultherapy is that it involves ultrasound imaging, which enables the patient to actually view the targeted areas of the tissue that are being treated.

Who should Receive Ultherapy?

In Dr. V’s experience, the best candidates for Ultrasound Lift or Ultherapy are adults over the age of thirty, who suffer from mild to moderate laxity of skin in their face and neck. If the loose or sagging skin bothers them and they are not keen to opt for a surgical treatment, Ultherapy may be a salient or terrific choice for them.

However, Dr. V makes it clear to her patients that Ultrasound Lift is not a substitute for a facelift surgery. It is a non-invasive skin tightening procedure for people who are keen to avoid surgery. In fact, Ultherapy can even be used for patients who have received a facelift, and are looking for ways to extend its effects for a longer time period.

Side Effects

Ultherapy avoids the typical side effects that a patient would usually experience in a surgical procedure. Ultrasound Lift treatment is designed to deliver the ultrasound energy directly to the targeted deeper skin layers. This prevents any serious damage being caused to the upper, healthy skin layer. Mild discomfort may be experienced during the procedure, but it varies according to the tolerance levels of each patient. The treatment does not involve any anesthesia, which also avoids the risks and side effects associated with anesthesia.

Any pain or discomfort experienced during the procedure is only indicative of the fact that the therapy is working to build collagen beneath the skin. Following the treatment, mild to moderate bruising, swelling and discomfort may be experienced. However, the patients can go back to work immediately, depending on their requirement. Dr. V advises her patients in Northern Virginia to wear a sunscreen each time they are exposed to the sun, for several weeks following the procedure.
