A New Treatment for Skin Issues Is Exciting: It’s Called ULtherapy

Written by: Lee McDonald

January 31, 2023

At Silicon Valley Aesthetic Dermatology, we are based in Foster City and as a result, we have many patients who live in San Mateo who obviously always want to look their best. An exciting new skin treatment is ultherapy.

Unfortunately, as you get older, your skin looks older. Also, rather obvious. But if you don’t want to look your age, or even older than your age, which happens to a lot of people, then you need to use the latest techniques in order to keep your skin young-looking.

We are always at the forefront of any new technologies which will help our patients, although we don’t use them until we have checked them out thoroughly in order to ensure that they work, and work well. We wouldn’t dream of doing any such thing until we have total confidence in new technology.

But here’s the thing: there is a new therapy that doesn’t use light, as in laser therapy, but instead uses sound! In this case ultrasound. It’s a totally non-invasive procedure that lifts and tightens the skin on the neck, chin, and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. Most importantly, it is approved by the FDA. And now we are proud to offer it to our patients.

Ultherapy Boosts The Growth Of Collagen

What it achieves is to boost the growth of collagen, which normally depletes as you get older. By doing this, it plumps up the skin again, making it look years younger. Of course, ultrasound has been used for several years in the medical sector in order to produce things such as images of a baby in the womb and has also been used to detect various diseases. But only now has it been discovered that it can be used to promote the growth of collagen as well.

If you would like to consider the use of San Mateo ULtherapy, then make an appointment to come and see our specialist in Foster City. We are only just down the road. San Mateo ULtherapy can make an incredible difference to your skin and your appearance, and make you look years younger again.

Not only does our ULtherapy procedure boost your collagen, but it also produces traditional ultrasound images – again similar to the way in which you can have pictures of the baby in the womb. What this does is allow our specialist to see the actual layers of tissue that are being treated and thus deliver the energy to where it will be most beneficial.

If you would like to know more about ULtherapy, by all means make an appointment for a consultation with our specialist. He will be able to answer all your questions. Not only that, but the consultation is free.
