What can a Lafayette area patient expect during Ultherapy treatment?

Patients in the Lafayette area who are seeking a solution to poor skin laxity without undergoing a surgical procedure such as a face-lift often consider the benefits of Ultherapy treatment. Dr. Lee, of The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute offers Ultherapy for patients who want to tighten, tone, and lift the skin on specific areas of the body.

Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared treatment that utilizes ultrasound energy to target deeper layers of the skin to address sagging, loose skin. Patients typically enjoy using Ultherapy on aging areas of the body, including the face and neck.

This non-surgical treatment is a unique approach to target problem areas without having to cut into the skin. Unlike lasers, which target the superficial layers of the skin for the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation concerns, Ultherapy goes deep into the skin to address the foundation of the skin to lift, support, and pull to improve the appearance and tone.

During treatment, patients are extremely comfortable. The area of treatment is thoroughly cleansed, and a special ultrasound gel is applied. The Ultherapy treatment uses a handpiece that is placed on the skin and is used to stimulate collagen growth deep underneath. There may be a slight sensation felt as the ultrasound energy is delivered, but it is well tolerated and can be controlled with medication taken before the procedure.

Patients enjoy the ability to return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. While they may experience some redness and possible swelling for several days after their treatment, these side effects are mild and temporary. Patients with any concerns after treatment are encouraged to contact Dr. Lee if they believe there is a more severe problem.

If you live in the Lafayette area and you are considering a safe, quality treatment to firm the skin and improve the tone and appearance of the face and neck, Ultherapy may be the solution for you. Contact Dr. Lee and the team at The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute today to schedule your initial consultation visit and examination to determine if you are a candidate for Ultherapy treatment or any other skin tightening or firming alternative.
