Who Says Non Surgical Face Lifts Don’t Work?

Granted, until a few years ago, the only way you could get smashing skin tightening results was via a surgical intervention. However, much has changed since then and nowadays, there are numerous promising new technologies that are just as effective as plastic surgery in promoting collagen and elastin production. In fact, some of the new skin tightening non-surgical therapies provide amazing rejuvenating results that can even compete with going under the knife. Ethos Spa Skin and Laser Clinic is proud to present one of such non-surgical face lift therapies that have shown outstanding, immediate and long-term results – Ulthera.

What is Ulthera?Combining ultrasound energy and imaging, Ulthera is the first non-invasive device that can replace the painful and disturbing surgical face lift. One of the things that recommend Ulthera as a viable and efficient solution is the introduction of ultrasound imaging, which permits the physician to visualize the tissue beneath the skin as well as adapt the energy according to the skin type and needs of each patient. Since the energy is focused underneath the skin, that means that the top layers are completely unaffected. Consequentially, Ulthera can be the non-surgical face lift answer for individuals with a darker skin tone.

What does the Ulthera treatment entail?It is important to note that before undergoing treatment, your physician will apply a localized anesthetic to ensure that you will not feel any discomfort or pain. The anesthetic consists of a cream and its full effects should be noticeable in approximately 20 minutes. Once the face is numb, the physician will wipe off the cream and put on a cold gel in order to increase the comfort level of the patient. However, take note that in certain areas, respectively the bony areas of the face, you will still feel a slight discomfort.

At this point, the patient will be ready for the Ulthera treatment: using a handheld device, the physician will channel energy in various areas of the face, according to the needs of the patient. Various patients who have undergone this procedure report that the treatment feels like a soft sewing machine is stitching their faces from the inside out.

What elements highly recommend Ulthera?The simplest way to present the results following the Ulthera treatment is via the standard pinch test. Basically, if before the treatment you were able pinch the skin of the face easily, immediately after the session you will happy to discover a much firmer skin. And, the best part is the skin will continue to grow firmer day by day. The full effects of Ulthera will be visible around 90 days after the intervention, when you will see a more defined jaw line and cheeks.

A further element that recommends Ulthera is its ability to promote the body’s natural healing response and more precisely, it stimulates the production of collagen. Essentially, in 89% of the patients participating in clinical testing the results were visible immediately especially around the eyes, cheeks and jaw areas.
