Ultherapy
Ultherapy, fromTeknoSurgical, is the first procedure that directs sound waves deep into the skin to the same tissue addressed in
surgery.This gently heats the tissue to lift and tighten loose skin without cutting or disrupt- ing the surface of the skin. Besides the visible effects of lifting and tightening, there is also an invisible result from Ultherapy with the creation of new collagen, which helps the skin maintain its youthfulness.
The procedure only takes 30 to 60 minutes, requires no special recuperation or preparation and typically one treatment is enough to get significant results. Patients enjoy some initial effect immediately following the procedure, but the ultimate lifting will take two to three months, as tired collagen is rejuvenated and supplemented with new, stronger collagen.
Ultherapy will lift, tighten and tone the brow, which in turn reduces the excess skin on the lids, opens up the eyes and gives a more refreshed appearance.
