What Is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy utilises ultrasound energy to lift and tighten sagging skin effectively. It stimulates collagen formation in the deeper layers of the skin, resulting in a natural lifting and tightening impact.
Unlike surgical alternatives, Ultherapy offers a non-invasive approach to skin rejuvenation, avoiding the need for incisions or downtime. The ultrasound energy is delivered in a targeted manner, to the correct areas of the body.
This FDA-cleared treatment is safe and acts as an alternative to traditional surgical facelifts. It works through advanced ultrasound technology, which reaches deep into the skin (about 4.5mm), and targets specific areas that need rejuvenation. The focused energy jumpstarts the body’s natural collagen, a protein that provides structural support to the skin.
How Does Ultherapy Work?
Before the actual treatment, the doctor uses the probe to scan the skin layer for real-time visualisation of the skin layer to determine the energy required for optimal results.
The ultrasound energy emitted by non-surgical skin during Ultherapy treatment is carefully calibrated to reach the optimal depth within your skin, depending on your skin condition. Then, the energy produces a small amount of heat that does not damage the skin surface. If the treatment was administered properly according to medical safety guidelines, and with proper aftercare from your doctor, you may observe an improvement in skin laxity after some time.
How Long Does Ultherapy Last?
It is important to note that individual responses to Ultherapy may vary based on several factors, including age, skin condition, and lifestyle choices. However, most patients experience the benefits of Ultherapy for up to one year, with some enjoying longer-lasting effects.
Conclusion About Ultherapy Treatment
Ultherapy treatment is a non-invasive solution for skin lifting and tightening. However, it’s not a one-size fits all solution. Results will vary significantly among patients, with some experiencing discomfort and mild side effects post-treatment. It is crucial to do your own research and to weigh the pros and cons of getting such treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions About Ultherapy Treatment
Does Insurance Cover The Cost Of Ultherapy?
Generally, insurance does not cover the cost of Ultherapy as it is considered an elective aesthetic treatment. Insurance providers typically only cover medical treatments and surgical procedures deemed medically necessary. However, it’s always recommended to check with your insurance provider for specific details regarding coverage.
What Are The Side Effects Of Ultherapy?
Ultherapy treatment may result in some temporary side effects. These can include redness, swelling, and tenderness in the treatment area immediately following the procedure. Other side effects may include temporary numbness or tingling sensations under the skin. More rarely, there can be slight bruising or temporary small areas of welts. In isolated cases, patients have reported more significant nerve damage or prolonged skin sensitivity.
Is Ultherapy Painful?
The discomfort level during an Ultherapy treatment varies from person to person and can be influenced by the specific area being treated. Some patients have reported experiencing moderate to high levels of discomfort during the treatment, often described as a sensation of heat, tingling, or prickling. Others may find the procedure only mildly uncomfortable.
If pain becomes a concern, healthcare professionals can utilise measures like topical anaesthetics or pain medication to help manage it. Nonetheless, any prospective patient should consult with their healthcare provider to discuss their personal pain tolerance and potential pain management options during the procedure.
