Ultherapy neck lift is a non-invasive FDA-cleared procedure to tighten skin on the eyebrows, submental (chin) area and the neck.
It also helps improve wrinkles and lines on the upper chest region (décolletage). During the initial consultation, the surgeon will discuss various aspects of Ultherapy neck lift, including its estimated longevity of results.
The kind Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS), led by committed board certified plastic surgeons, provides Ultherapy neck lift to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and other suburbs and neighborhoods in this notable part of America.
Sustainability of Outcomes
Ultherapy can reset the skin to a younger age. But the outcome will gradually diminish as a part of the natural process of aging. The longevity of the results can be extended by avoiding sun exposure and following a healthy lifestyle.
The body produces new collagen in around six weeks after the procedure which peaks at three to six month. Improvements continue to manifest for up to one year.
Therefore, patients should wait for 18 months to two years prior to seeking retreatment. The patient can be treated in six months to one year, at the earliest, in case they want to build on existing enhancements. Outcomes vary between patients due to their physiological differences. However, an expert provider can offer the best outcomes with aesthetic machines in a safe manner.
The neck area can be challenging to treat as it is curvaceous and experiences frequent movement. Ultherapy provides a natural appearance to the neck where others will notice only an enhancement in the neck without realizing the patient has undergone treatment.
The Ultherapy provider should be highly-trained and should have cleared quality assurance tests prior to treating patients. This will ensure that the outcomes are desirable and sustainable.
Procedure
Ultherapy employs targeted ultrasonic sound waves to deliver heat underneath the skin. Throughout the procedure, the technician can adjust the temperature, depth, and location at which the ultrasound waves are delivered leading to precise heating.
The primary mode of nonsurgical skin rejuvenation procedures such as lasers, Radiofrequency (RF), or ultrasound is precise heating. Ultherapy offers the most efficient and intense nonsurgical ultrasound treatment. The ultrasound energy heats the collagen fiber bundles inside the skin.
Targeted Heating of Collagen Bundles via Ultherapy
Ultherapy causes a “shrink-wrap” effect of collagen leading to a mild tightening impact during the procedure. The collagen fibers constrict and almost melt together due to the heat. This is the smaller effect of the treatment.
Subsequently, the damaged and shrunken collagen fibers are regenerated and replaced by the body over the next three to six months. The fresh collagen fibers will be more elastic and offer the patient dazzling, more youthful looking skin.
Promoting Fresh Collagen Fibers
Ultherapy is a unique nonsurgical rejuvenation treatment that employs ultrasound beneath the skin’s surface focusing on the deep foundational tissue layer.
The focused ultrasound energy used in Ultherapy is similar to the one used by obstetricians while performing a sonogram. It enhances the production of new collagen in the skin gradually making it tauter, firmer, and more volumized.
This procedure treats the skin, and more importantly its underlying support framework to provide safe, poignant, and desirable outcomes with no downtime. Ultherapy is not effective on pigmentation as light-based devices treat the more superficial skin layers.
