What happens for Bay area patients during the Ulthera procedure?

Many patients who are ready to tackle the unwanted signs of aging have found that the Ulthera procedure in the Bay area provides a non-invasive, effective way to tighten and tone the skin to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Ulthera is a treatment that utilizes ultrasound energy to heat the deep layers of the skin to improve collagen production, which can create younger looking skin. Men and women have enjoyed the benefits of Ulthera treatments on the face, and have noticed amazing changes with a single treatment.

Dr. Christine Lee of The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute in the Bay area is excited to offer this amazing state-of-the-art technology to improve the skin. Patients as young as 35 years old can enjoy Ulthera services and will notice dramatic improvements as the months pass. This treatment provides gradual results that are natural and beautiful.

Many patients who consult Dr. Christine Lee ask what they can expect before, during, and after the Ulthera procedure.

Patients are expected to visit their dermatologist to determine if they are an appropriate candidate for the Ulthera procedure. Patients must have realistic expectations from the treatment, and understand that it may not provide the same results as plastic surgery. However, for patients who are experiencing the early signs of aging, Ulthera might be the best option.

During the procedure, patients are made comfortable in the treatment chair. The skin will be cleansed and the Ulthera device is set at the appropriate treatment strength. The patient relaxes as the device is used to heat the skin, but in a rather comfortable manner. Many patients experience a slight heating sensation but find it tolerable. The appointment will take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes from start to finish when areas of the face are being treated.

After the procedure, patients may notice some redness of the face, but this goes away within a few hours and can be covered with cosmetics if necessary. Many patients go back to work immediately after their appointment. Plastic surgery requires individuals to schedule considerable time away from work and other activities to heal and recover from the procedure, making Ulthera the best alternative for busy individuals!
