Ultherapy Gold Coast is a newer type of procedure that can help patients improve the appearance of their skin. Ultherapy is a quick treatment that requires no special aftercare, and patients can return to normal activities immediately following the procedure. The treatment also jump-starts the repair process by producing fresh new collagen. To learn more about this procedure, contact an Ultherapy Gold Coast clinic for a free consultation. This treatment is fast becoming a popular option among patients who want to improve the appearance of their skin.
Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to produce controlled heating of collagen under the surface of the skin. This heat stimulates collagen production, which results in a tightened and firmer face. It is a much safer alternative to surgery because Ultherapy allows the clinician to see deep layers of skin and target them with ultrasound energy.
Some patients experience slight swelling or redness after undergoing Ultherapy. However, these side effects are usually temporary and can disappear within a day or two. With an experienced clinician, side effects are uncommon. Some patients experience some tenderness for up to a week after the procedure. Although Ultherapy is generally safe, you should consult with a dermatologist before undergoing this treatment.
The treatment takes about 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Some patients need only a small portion of their face, while others can have their face and neck treated at the same time. The procedure uses ultrasound to accurately determine the facial anatomy and target the specific layers of skin that need treatment. The full results of Ultherapy are visible after about six months. Patients typically need only one procedure, but they may need multiple sessions depending on their skin laxity and other factors.
Ultherapy can be an effective way to improve the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin. Patients who have mild to moderate skin laxity are ideal candidates for this procedure. After the procedure, patients should notice a visible lifting and a tighter feel to their skin. Results may be seen within three to four weeks, and they should continue to improve over the next several months. The results of Ultherapy are not permanent, but they will last at least 18 months and can last up to five years.
