Ultherapy is a non-invasive ultrasound treatment that stimulates the body’s natural regeneration of collagen. As a safe alternative to surgery, Ultherapy works from the inside out, utilizing ultrasound technology to stimulate and produce new elastin and collagen, deep within the skin for a tightening and lifting effect on the brow, neck, chin and chest. Unlike any other non-surgical method, Ultherapy penetrates deep into the skin without causing any damage to the skin’s surface, improving as well the appearance of lines and wrinkles for a younger, fresher appearance.
Ultherapy employs a sleek applicator featuring ultrasound technology to pinpoint your body’s inherent collagen and trigger the generation of fresh collagen fibers. Collagen, a naturally occurring protein, plays a vital role in maintaining skin firmness and elasticity, which contributes to a more youthful and rejuvenated look.
An ideal candidate for Ultherapy in Dubai is an individual who exhibits a degree of laxity in their skin, to the extent that it is noticeable, and often accompanied by a sensation of decreased firmness. Indicators that someone may be a suitable candidate include the presence of loose skin beneath the neck or under the chin, as well as the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the chest.
Steer clear of direct sun exposure for a period ranging from three to five days prior to your treatment. If needed, shave the area you wish to have treated. Pause the use of Retinol, glycolic acid, and salicylic acid products. In case of a cold sore or skin infection, it is advisable to reschedule your appointment.
Following skin cleansing and the identification of specific treatment areas, ultrasound gel is applied, and the smooth handpiece is gently positioned on your skin. The targeted ultrasound energy penetrates beyond the skin’s surface, reaching predetermined depths within the underlying tissue to stimulate collagen production.
Comfort levels can vary among patients and may also be influenced by the treated area. Your practitioner will engage in a discussion about available options to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible. The sensation you feel is linked to the focused ultrasound energy as it is directed beneath the skin’s surface. This sensation is typically noticeable only during the energy delivery, and most patients leave feeling at ease and eagerly anticipating the forthcoming benefits.
You can resume your regular activities on the following day, and there are no specific precautions you need to take. Immediately after the ultrasound treatment, your skin may appear slightly flushed, but any redness typically fades within a few hours. It’s not uncommon to experience mild swelling for a few days or a tingling and tenderness when touched for a few weeks after the procedure, but these effects are usually temporary and mild in nature. There is a chance of less common post-procedural effects, such as temporary small areas of bruising or numbness, as well as rare effects, which your physician will thoroughly discuss with you. Keep in mind that individual outcomes may vary, so it’s essential to consult with your doctor to ensure that you are a suitable candidate for this treatment.
If you are unhappy with your fine lines, wrinkles, or volume loss, seek a consultation with a dermatologist.
After evaluating your ageing signs, your dermatologist will recommend the most suitable cosmetic treatment option for you and if dermal or face fillers are what you need.
