Walnut Creek area patients ask their dermatologist about Ultherapy and want to know, how long does it last?

At The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute we want our patients in the Walnut Creek area to take the time to learn about all the ways in which they can improve their skin and body with cosmetic treatments. Dr. Christine Lee speaks to many individuals who want to address imperfections of the skin such as skin laxity which is the primary culprit for fine lines and wrinkles developing on the face. Our practice offers a wide range of treatments that can help, including injectables. However, some patients may want more long-term results, in which we may suggest the benefits of Ultherapy.

Ultherapy is a non-invasive and non-surgical solution to skin laxity. It uses focused ultrasound energy to target the deep layers of the skin and assist in stimulating the body’s own natural healing process. It can help stimulate collagen production while tightening, toning, and lifting loose skin on the face, neck, and even the décolletage.

Dr. Christine Lee of The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute encourages patients to consider this treatment because of the many benefits it provides without downtime or surgery. Patients love having the ability to address the tone and firmness of their skin without regular injections or surgical intervention. Patients will not experience any downtime and will be able to see the results in a gradual fashion—allowing them to turn back the hands of time in a more “discreet” way than plastic surgery.

Patients will often ask their dermatologist, how long does it last? Ultherapy results will last at least one year with the stimulation of extra collagen. Patients should have realistic expectations and understand that there is no way to completely stop or reverse the signs of aging, but it can be slowed. Patients who undergo Ultherapy can have regular appointments or incorporate other anti-aging solutions such as injections into their skin care routine to address fine lines and wrinkles as they form.

Dr. Christine Lee and the team of The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute work with new and existing patients in their practice to help both men and women in enhancing their natural appearance with today’s advanced technologies.
