Because Ultherapy works by stimulating the ability of the body to repair itself, results appear in the weeks and months after treatment. Although most improvements occur within the two to three months afterwards, patients may continue to experience positive changes for as long as six months. This treatment by our expert in Ultherapy in Los Angeles is accomplished with the use of a handpiece that focuses ultrasound energy on target locations on the eyebrows, chin and neck.
Ultherapy is ideal for patients whose skin has begun to sag due to the aging process. In many cases, candidates are in their thirties or older with skin sagging of mild or moderate severity. Ideal candidates should understand what Ultherapy can achieve and recognize how it is different from face lift surgery. This treatment from our Los Angeles Ultherapy provider is different from laser procedures, but Ultherapy and laser treatment can also be combined for a two-pronged approach to facial skin rejuvenation.
Ultherapy does not require patients to prepare for treatment in any way. However, patients can further increase their comfort during the procedure by taking over-the-counter pain relievers beforehand. At a consultation with Dr. Ghasri, our Los Angeles dermatologist, patients can learn more about Ultherapy and what it can do for them.
