Ultrasound Skin Tightening

ultrasoundskintightening

Ultrasound skin tightening is a noninvasive procedure designed to reverse signs of aging on the skin. It can be used on all areas of the face and body, but is typically used on the face, eyes and neck. It works by heating the underlying layers of skin to stimulate collagen production, which, in turn, causes the skin to look fuller and tighter. Wrinkles, fine lines, lax skin and other signs of aging are minimized, and skin looks healthier and more youthful.

Ultrasound Skin Tightening Procedure

Ultrasound skin tightening is an in-office procedure. The heat from the device stimulates collagen production, which then contracts and tightens the skin.

Depending upon the size of the treatment area, sessions typically take 30 minutes to an hour. For best results, 6 to 10 treatment sessions, spaced about 2 weeks apart, are usually recommended. Many patients see improvement to the overall condition of their skin immediately after being treated, and skin continues to improve over the next few months as collagen production increases. In some cases, the results of laser skin tightening lasts for 2 years.

Advantages Of Ultrasound Skin Tightening

Because it is not invasive, many people choose to undergo ultrasound skin tightening rather than facelifts, neck lifts, liposuction or “tummy tucks,” all of which are surgical procedures that require recovery time. After an ultrasound skin tightening session, patients can resume their regular activities immediately.

Side Effects Of Ultrasound Skin Tightening

There are no serious side effects associated with laser skin tightening. Mild side effects, which are temporary, include redness; swelling; bruising; skin sensitivity; and changes in skin color. Any discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
