Everything you need to know about Ultherapy Skin Tightening

Naturally, as we age, so does our skin. With routine exposure to the damaging UVA and UVB rays, consistent exposure to the elements, and even stress, the skin begins to lose elasticity. Skin with lost elasticity or lower levels of collagen production may appear to sag or droop in certain places. One solution to ageing skin is laser treatments.

What Is Ultherapy Skin Tightening?

Ultherapy skin tightening is a non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound energy to constrict collagen, which, in turn, makes skin appear firmer and tighter. Regular Ultherapy treatments will stimulate the body’s collagen production and provide clients lasting anti-ageing effects.

What Can Ultherapy Skin Tightening Help?

Ultherapy skin tightening treatments can be used on more than one occasion to improve the cosmetic appearance of more than one dermal aspect, including:

– Loose skin

– Wrinkles

– Saggy skin 

– Uneven skin tone

Different Kinds of  Skin Treatments treatments: 

Ultrasound

Ultrasound laser treatments can be completed in a single 45-90 minute treatment, depending on the treatment’s area. With low procedural times, that means it is the shortest procedural time. It is, however, the treatment that takes the longest to see results. Full results take up to three months to develop. A client may experience intense heat but there is no real pain associated with ultrasonic skin tightening.

Radiofrequency

Radiofrequency treatments are probably the ones that come to mind most when you think of laser treatments. The skin is zapped on the surface (rather than blow like the ultrasound) and provides an immediate tightened look. The treatment requires no real downtime after, though multiple sessions are required for best results.

Radiofrequency microneedling

Radiofrequency microneedling combines the process of radiofrequency skin tightening and microneedling procedures. Effectively, the treatment involves rows of tiny needles pricked into the skin to deliver the laser frequency deeper into the skin for beautiful and long-lasting results. The process is quick and still relatively pain-free. Your clinician will advise you on the best aftercare for this treatment. Once again, the best results take a few treatments a couple of weeks apart to maintain the best results for longer.

Things To Keep In Mind With Ultherapy Skin Tightening

Patients at nearly any age can get Ultherapy skin tightening treatments, even those in their 20s. Many patients use Ultherapy treatment as preventative measures for later in life.

Keep in mind that not everyone who uses skin tightening treatments will experience the same level of results. No two people have the same skin, so results can be expected to vary just as much.
