What results can Walnut Creek area patients expect with Ultherapy treatment?

Patients in the Walnut Creek area can seek firmer, more toned skin is with Ultherapy, a revolutionary way for patients to tighten their skin and reduce skin laxity without going under the knife for surgical treatments. Using ultrasound energy that targets deep into the skin for precise results, Ultherapy can provide beneficial results in as little as two months.

Ultherapy works by stimulating the production of collagen. By boosting this natural protein, patients experience more youthful skin and improved elasticity. After patients reach the age of 30, they begin to lose collagen, which can result in sagging, loose skin. Ultherapy assists with tightening and firming these areas by increasing the collagen in the face and neck to replicate the effects of a face-lift without the surgery.

Patients love the results they see from Ultherapy treatment. Though not immediate, the stimulation of collagen production can tighten and firm the skin, and many patients see results as soon as one month after treatment. These results can continue to improve over the course of six months, making it a gradual way to transform the targeted areas.

Treatment is done in just one appointment. Patients relax for approximately one hour as the Ultherapy device is used on the face and neck to deliver this safe, effective ultrasound energy. Patients may feel slight discomfort but this can be controlled by Dr. Lee during the treatment to reduce the strength of the ultrasound energy if necessary. This device is FDA-cleared as a safe, effective way to tighten and tone the skin.
