As we age the skin on our faces becomes lined and wrinkled, looser and more saggy.
Aesthetics treatments offer many solutions to improve the look of skin laxity and ageing and as time moves on the technologies we have to manage the ageing process become ever more sophisticated.
If you are experiencing a lack of confidence or self esteem from the effects of the natural ageing process, there is really no need to suffer in silence. Many women and men nowadays are having surgical and non-surgical tweaks to improve how they look and feel about themselves.
Non surgical facelifts are one of the many treatments we offer at the Body Work Clinic in Cambridge and we are seeing fantastics results when we perform this treatment using Ultherapy technology.
What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is an award winning, non-invasive skin lifting & tightening treatment. It utilises Micro-Focused Ultrasound Technology to heat specific deeper layers of the skin to 60-70 degrees C.
Ultherapy uniquely enables ultrasound visualisation allowing the operator to accurately target the SMAS layer. SMAS is a mesh network that surrounds the muscles and is the same area that a plastic surgeon pulls tight during a Face Lift. Existing collagen contracts causing lifting and large amounts of new collagen and elastin are produced.
Ultherapy massively outperforms standard HIFU and RF often found on the High Street – as both of these technologies are delivered blindly without visualisation, heating effects for safety reasons are limited to 40-42 degrees C.
In clinical studies Ultherapy has been proven to increase collagen synthesis by 42%
What are the benefits of non-surgical facelifts?
The main benefits of having a non surgical facelift over a surgical facelift is the ease and speed of treatment, the cost and the lack of downtime. With Ultherapy you can experience what it feels like to tighten up the loose skin and jowls on your face and neck in as little as a one hour treatment.
Non Surgical intervention is sequential at your pace and budget, enabling you to control the degree of enhancement or transformation
After your Ultherapy treatment you may experience some redness, swelling or tingling but this shouldn’t impact your daily activities. In comparison, a surgical facelift can require up to 3 months to heal completely.
When will I see results from Ultherapy treatment?
After Ultherapy treatment the results won’t show up immediately. The technology in Ultherapy creates a thermal effect underneath the skin. This in turn triggers the body to create fresh, new collagen.
This regenerative process that the body undertakes to create the new collagen takes time and that is why the results aren’t instantaneous. In addition to this your own unique biology can influence how long it takes your body to produce collagen.
In most cases it will take between 3-6 months to see the results from this treatment with some patients recording improvements before the 3 month mark.
