Is Ultherapy a safe treatment for New York residents?

Patients who are seeking a non-surgical procedure that reduces lines and wrinkles on the face and neck can consider the benefits of Ultherapy. Ultherapy is a safe alternative to a traditional facelift, tightening the skin, and improving the overall texture and tone.

Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to reverse the wrinkles and fine lines associated with aging. Ultrasound technology has been used for decades in the medical field, and is completely safe and FDA-cleared for firming skin and reducing wrinkles.

Plastic surgeries, such as facelifts, carry a number of risks. Patients experience extensive downtime and recovery periods, and risk infection from the surgical incisions. Patients are unable to exercise or maintain their regular activities immediately after treatment. General anesthesia used to put the patient under during the surgery involves its own risks, and the procedure is often expensive. Thankfully, patients can achieve similar results with a non-invasive method such as Ultherapy.

Ultherapy procedures are fast and made more comfortable by giving oral medication to patients. A device is used to apply sound wave energy to the skin to tighten by stimulating collagen production. The increase in collagen helps firm the skin and can show dramatic improvement in six to twelve months.

At The New York Aesthetic Consultants, our team ensures patients understand the process of Ultherapy from start to finish. The treatment takes one to two hours or less to complete, and requires minimal downtime. The improvement occurs over the course of time, with optimal results showing after six months as the skin responds to treatment.

The perfect candidate for Ultherapy is an individual who is experiencing the signs of aging, mature skin. Sagging and skin laxity is improved, and Ultherapy treatment can effectively contour specific areas of the face such as the eyelids, brow line, jowls, and neck.

Dr. Shelton, of The New York Aesthetic Consultants, offers Ultherapy for patients who have considered facelift surgery, but are turned off by risks, costs, and recovery time. This alternative is a wonderful way for patients to experience dramatic results without a surgical procedure.
