Although many patients associate ultrasound energy with viewing an
unborn baby, it can be used for a variety of other medical purposes.
Ultherapy is an FDA-approved treatment that delivers ultrasound energy
to specific areas of the body to tighten, tone, and reduce fat without
surgery.
Many patients in the San Francisco area who visit Dr.
Christine Lee of The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute are interested
in learning more about this revolutionary method of fighting the signs
of aging on the face and contouring various areas of the body without
invasive treatments. Many patients who have considered tummy tucks and
liposuction will find that Ultherapy may be a more affordable,
non-invasive method to provide similar results for mild to moderate
areas of body contouring.
Ultherapy delivers this energy to target fat cells
underneath the uppermost layers of skin. It can help in heating and
shrinking them, while stimulating collagen production to tighten and
tone. This is why many patients consider Ultherapy treatments for the
face, to target the unwanted signs of aging. Ultherapy can reduce the
appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and provide similar results to a
mild to moderate surgical face lift.
Ultherapy treatments are commonly used on areas of the body such as:
- Arms
- Thighs
- Stomach/Abdomen
- Sides
- Face
It is important for patients to understand that Ultherapy is
not a way to lose weight. Instead, it is commonly used by patients with
areas of fat deposit that and may not be responding to diet and
exercise. In fact, the best candidates for Ultherapy treatments are
those who live active, healthy lifestyles and are at an appropriate
weight and size.
Dr. Christine Lee of The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute
is proud to offer a way to target areas of unwanted fat deposits and
enjoy better body contours without the need for surgical intervention.
