What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes ultrasound energy to lift, tighten, and tone the skin without surgery. It is a cosmetic procedure that is FDA-cleared to lift the skin of the neck, under the chin, and on the eyebrows. It can also improve lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.
How does it work?
Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to stimulate the production of collagen, a natural protein responsible for the skin’s firmness and elasticity. The treatment targets the skin’s deep layers, where collagen production occurs, to stimulate new collagen growth. The procedure’s ultrasonic waves deliver energy to the specific treatment area, without affecting the surrounding tissues. This process initiates the skin’s regeneration process and elevates the skin’s laxity.
What are the benefits of Ultherapy?
The following are the salient benefits of the Ultherapy treatment:
Non-Invasive: Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that does not require any incisions or surgery.
No Downtime: The treatment requires no downtime, and the patient can resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure.
Long–Lasting Results: Results can last up to a year or longer, depending on the individual patient’s skin condition.
Natural Looking Results: The results look natural and gradual, avoiding a drastic change in the patient’s facial structure.
Safe & Effective: Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared treatment, using ultrasound technology that is safe and effective.
What to expect during the Ultherapy treatment?
Ultherapy treatment is usually performed in a medical spa or doctor’s office and can take an hour or more, depending on the treatment area. The patient may experience some mild discomfort or pain during the procedure, which can be managed by numbing cream or pain medication. At the Oasis, we know you came here to relax, unwind, and look and feel your best… so we kept that in mind! We offer Pronox to all of our patients for all of our procedures to ensure that you won’t experience any pain! Pronox is laughing gas, and is a self-administered analgesia to reduce any pain or anxiety before or during the procedure. The good news is, this pain (oftentimes we refer to this pain as feeling spicy- it’s not really “painful”- just spicy!)…The spicy feeling only lasts when the ultrasound is on the skin- the second the procedure is done- the spice is gone! This is very different from a procedure like a surgical facelift- some individuals experience a lot of pain after the surgery is done- but not with Ultherapy!
Next, The Oasis staff member will start by applying an ultrasound gel on the treatment area and move the device’s applicator over the skin, allowing the ultrasonic waves to penetrate the skin’s deep layers. After the procedure, the patient may experience slight redness, swelling or tenderness, but these symptoms usually subside in a few hours.
