San Jose Morgan Hill Like many men and women, you may feel like no matter how many creams and serums you’ve applied to your skin, you can’t seem to reverse the signs of slowly sagging skin. Does it seem as though every time you look into the bathroom mirror, your skin is starting to get a little more closer to your jawline? You are not alone.
If the above sounds familiar, then it’s time to introduce yourself to Ultherapy with the Illuminate Plastic Surgery team in San Jose, CA.
What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is an FDA-approved treatment that uses the power of ultrasound energy to instantly tighten skin, all while improving long-term collagen and elastin production.* Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure, making this treatment a great alternative to traditional tightening surgeries such as a face lift, brow lift or neck lift.*
Ultherapy treatments are delivered over the course of a 60 to 90-minute procedure. Most treatments are delivered to the face and neck; however, many patients also opt for a chest procedure (this takes about 30 minutes).
There’s minimal downtime associated with Ultherapy treatments, making this procedure a great option for patients who are looking for a more simple, fast approach to skin tightening. Following treatment, some patients may experience tingling and/or discomfort at the treatment site. These side effects tend to disappear after a few days to weeks.
Ideal results from Ultherapy treatments are achieved after two to three months once the body has stimulated its own collagen – but how long do these results last?*
How Long Do Results Last?
Ultherapy results last for a surprisingly long time.* Most patients can expect results to last anywhere from two to three years*. If you want to maintain the results of your treatment, it’s recommended that you schedule a maintenance session every few years.
