Treatment With Ulthera®
The Ulthera® System employs two specialized types of ultrasound technology. First, the system's DeepSee® ultrasound energy is used to look deep below the skin and see the exact layers of soft tissue that would best respond to treatment. Then, the Ulthera System penetrates deep beneath the skin, reaching tissue that until now could only be treated through open surgery. The ultrasound energy precisely heats the targeted tissue and jumpstarts the body's natural collagen-producing mechanisms, restoring much needed volume and elasticity to aging skin. These changes can be seen immediately using ultrasound technology. If you are looking for a way to tighten and tone your skin, Ulthera may be a good option for you.
Treatment typically lasts from a half-hour to an hour and is fairly comfortable. The device is placed over the treatment area and delivers low levels of targeted heat energy to the right depth beneath the skin. The heat energy stimulates your body's natural collagen-making process, which restores volume and structure to the skin over time.
After Treatment
After your Ultherapy treatment, you will be ready to return to everyday activities right away. Your skin may look flushed, but the redness should fade within a few hours. There may be slight swelling or tingling in the face, which is normal. Dr. Bonakdar will discuss your results and any possible side effects with you before you undergo treatment.
The lifting and toning appears gradually as new collagen is produced. Full results may take 2 to 3 months to appear, although there is often some noticeable change immediately. You will see an improvement in skin tightness and fullness after just one treatment, but in some cases Dr. Bonakdar may recommend additional sessions.
Explore Your Options
If you are concerned about fine lines and wrinkles but have good skin elasticity, you may be interested in injectable fillers, laser skin rejuvenation, or BOTOX® Cosmetic in Newport Beach. In some cases, these treatments can be combined. If you're a good candidate for combined treatments, Dr. Bonakdar will discuss that option with you.
