Your facial appearance is one of the most descriptive parts of your body. Most of us identify each other, keeping our facial appearances in mind. Any changes in your facial appearance can show how you feel or if something is wrong. Many injuries, ailments, accidents to your face, and other close features require procedures to fix them. However, these procedures are not only used to correct these issues but can also be used to enhance your facial appearance. An example of such a procedure is Cypress Ultherapy. More about ultherapy and what it involves is discussed further below.

What is Ultherapy?

This is a nonsurgical operation done in place of facelifts to overcome the physical changes accompanying aging, like sagging skin and wrinkles on your neck, face, chest, and drooping brows. This technology works on the concept of triggering collagen production on your skin to form a more appealing look. This procedure and many others like it have grown in popularity recently due to its high effectiveness in producing desired results.

Ultherapy works in sites below the skin with specific ultrasound energy of suitable temperatures that encourage collagen regeneration. This heat energy can be manipulated to aim at different depths for various layers like:

·         Skin

·         Muscle

·         Superficial wrinkles

The energy triggers the elastic and collagen tissue making less sagging, firmer skin with fewer wrinkles.

Preparation for the operation does not affect your daily routines as your daily activities of drinking, eating, work, and exercise are not affected before or after the procedure.

 Makeup and other skin care products should be eliminated from the operating site before treatment. Depending on your physician, you may take anti-inflammatory or pain-reducing drugs before the procedure. These medications can affect your driving ability; hence it is advisable to outsource a driver to take you home after the procedure as you may be incapacitated.

Ultherapy procedure

Your physician will first clean the sites they want to operate on to clear off any residue or oil and then place an ultrasound gel. The ultherapy appliance is put on top of your skin, and an ultrasound viewing screen is used to adjust it to the suitable settings. The targeted sites are then provided ultrasound energy which feels like simultaneous tingling and heat sensations during treatment.

Pain drugs can be introduced anytime during the procedure to alleviate discomfort. The device is then removed after the procedure is done.

Each procedure can take up to one and a half hours, depending on the type of treatment. Treatment of your chest only takes half an hour, while those in the neck and face take between sixty and ninety minutes.

The most commonly targeted areas are the neck, face, and chest. Other areas for the treatment also include:

·         Under the chin

·         Eyebrows

·         Chest area

Your ultherapy provider will look into your situation and discuss your treatment plans. This means that most procedures vary depending on the patient and their needs hence the range of results may differ. For any ultherapy questions, visit us online or call our offices in Cypress, TX.
