men and women are choosing ultherapy® the newest non-surgical alternative to a more youthful appearance

by Annette Pinder

Ultherapy® is the latest FDA approved treatment to enter the $30 billion aesthetics market. However it is different than other in-office aesthetic procedures. Based on well-known ultrasound principles used by physicians for decades, Ulthera technology allows aesthetics physicians to see and treat deep below the surface of the skin, without surgery.

While drawing on the same reliable ultrasound principles that physicians
and patients have trusted for decades, Ulthera’s ultrasound waves are sent deep into the skin’s dermal and fibro-muscular tissue layers in the face and neck area. According to Hratch Karamanoukian, M.D., of Advanced Aesthetics Medical Spa, “Pain is minimal and results are dramatic. They include tightening and lifting around the brow, upper lids and jowls, due to collagen fibers strengthened from the 45 minute procedure.“ Dr. Karamanoukian says that his patients who undergo Ultherapy are always amazed to see significant improvement without experiencing any downtime.

As with other ultrasound procedures, a smooth applicator is placed on the skin, which projects an image onto a screen that allows the physician to plan where the energy will be sent. This same applicator is used to deliver low levels of ultrasound energy in a focused manner at just the right depth to achieve a positive effect, while leaving the surface of the skin undisturbed. A gradual tightening and firming occurs, resulting in a natural lift of the skin over time.

Ultherapy® is the only nonsurgical skin rejuvenation procedure targeting and strengthening the deep layer of tissue usually only accomplished with surgery. The results of Ultherapy® are dramatic and patients are able to return to normal activities immediately, as well. Occasionally there is a little redness of the skin which dissipates within hours and most patients can go out to dinner the same evening.

In the FDA clinical trial of Ultherapy®, nine out of ten patients had a noticeable, significant lift of the brow line, resulting in a more open, youthful look. Patients also reported firmer, better-fitting skin in other areas of the face and neck. Another result from the procedure is that new collagen helps to slow down the rate of skin aging.

Good candidates for Ultherapy® are women AND men with skin laxity, the hallmark of aging of the face and neck. Although it doesn’t duplicate the results of surgery, according to Dr. Karamanukian it is a great alternative for those not ready for surgery.
