Non-Surgical Lifting and Tightening – Ulthera

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

Has your brow and jawline migrated south for the winter? Not ready, or willing, to go the surgical route? Ulthera is a non-surgical alternative to going under the knife, and it’s the only device with FDA approval to lift and tighten lax skin.

What is Ultherapy, you may ask. Well… Ultherapy uses ultra-sound technology to lift and tighten tissue- no incisions, sutures or downtime necessary! The procedure, which takes about an hour to complete, addresses the brow and the jawline. Ulthera treatment opens up the eye area, improves the appearance of “jowls,” and contours the jawline. And the best part? You can go out to dinner the same night, as Ulthera has  no downtime!

For the first time ever, “Ultherapy” allows us to direct sound waves deep under the skin to the tissue that would otherwise need to be addressed in surgery. The tissue heats up, resulting in lifted, tighter skin without disrupting the skin’s surface. The Ulthera also promotes the creation of new collagen, which helps the skin maintain its youthfulness.

New Treament Option for Skin Tightening

Monday, March 7th, 2011

Jowls… it’s not a pretty word.  The word may even conjur up images of Droppy the cartoon dog, and so many people are bothered by them.  So what can you do? 

 Well, there’s surgery, but thats so invasive and many people aren’t ready or willing to go under the knife.   Luckily, there are non-invasive ways to address lax skin, namely NIR technology, which is virtually pain free.  NIR, also known as near infrared, is a safe technology that heats the tissue under the surface of the skin to stimulate new collagen formation resulting in skin tightening. 

While NIR will not give you the dramatic results of surgery, it is very effective in reducing the apperance of lax skin allowing patients to postpone, or in some cases, forego the operating room.
