Ultherapy: The Gold Standard in Non Surgical Skin Lifting and Tightening

Written by: Lee McDonald

We lose the protein responsible for keeping skin firm and young as we age because our body’s natural collagen production slows down. Your genes are programmed to know what you will look like; as we get older, this is naturally reduced, which is why those lines and sagging skin appear.Medical dermatology and dermatologists in Foster City and San Mateo.

The signs of aging used to be corrected through surgery. But these days, aesthetic dermatology has finally caught up to where you shouldn’t have to get cut for a big change.

The well known upgrade is Ultherapy. This is the only non invasive treatment that has been FDA cleared to lift skin on the neck, under the chin, and on the brow. There are two types of collagen that are naturally found; one makes the body easily repair itself, and the second helps you generate new collagen and firm your skin when stimulated.

How Does Ultherapy Work? Ultherapy works to jumpstart the body’s natural regenerative process for producing new collagen and reinforcing weak tissue. Ultherapy is an ultrasound imaging technique to visualize the targeted tissue and guarantee an accurate treatment. This focused thermal energy will then force the body to heal via creation of new collagen and elastin, which will firm, tighten, and smooth skin. These are proteins that the skin requires to remain taut and pliant. Freshly made collagen production develops in several days; however, over the next weeks and months, more collagen will again be made with a firmer skin appearance.
