Ultherapy with Dr. Yellin - Looks Like He MADE IT & Relaxed !!!! Part 8
Marietta Facial Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center
Ultherapy® is a revolutionary technology that both visualizes the layers beneath our skin and non-invasively delivers focused, high intensity ultrasound energy, which generates heat leading to both tissue tightening and collagen stimulation. Ultherapy® allows us to target multiple levels in the face by choosing different "lenses" that focus the energy to different depths. Therefore, we can lift the deeper fascial layer in the cheek that we routinely tighten with a facelift while also lifting the skin itself, which of course is also addressed with a facelift. Finally, we can target the energy within the skin to help soften unwanted lines and wrinkles such as those under the eyes or around the mouth. Ultherapy® can even provide a non-surgical brow lift in the properly selected patient!
The procedure takes about 1 to 2 hours to perform. You can also choose to limit the treatment and target a particular facial area of concern. Depending on the individual's facial sensitivity, the treatment may feel like a tingling light massage to a hot rubber band snap. To keep our patients comfortable, we often pretreat our patients with a high dose of ibuprofen before the procedure and use local anesthesia and a special distraction device during the therapy when treating a sensitive area of the face.
Ultherapy® is FDA-approved as a one-time treatment for skin lifting and in my opinion, is the first device that provides meaningful non-surgical facial rejuvenation by tightening the facial tissues at multiple depths. The results are immediate though the effects continue to improve for several months after the treatment and are expected to last about 3-4 years. To achieve additive benefit, a small number of patients choose to have a second treatment about 3 months after the initial therapy. Perhaps the best news of all, there is no downtime and no healing whatsoever! Costs for treating the face and neck are about a third of what a facelift costs and you can return to your normal routine immediately!
