Results from a single treatment last up to 2 years, at which point we recommend re-treating to maintain and enhance results.
A face lift or rhytidectomy is a surgical procedure which removes excess, sagging skin and smooths folds, to lift and tighten the deeper facial tissues. After anesthesia is administered for pain, incisions are made and the the skin is separated from the underlying tissue and muscles. The excess skin is removed and the remaining skin is laid back over the newly restored facial tissues. https://vimeo.com/222682806
Ultherapy treats the deep foundational layer addressed in cosmetic surgery, but won’t duplicate the results of a face lift. The lifting with Ultherapy is natural and gradual; whereas face lift results are seen more immediately. A face lift is the more permanent option.
Since Ultherapy is nonsurgical and uses the body's own natural healing process, there is less risk involved than with a face lift. It has the advantage of no downtime, no scarring, or swelling. Only about 10% of all patients treated have bruising following Ultherapy. With a face lift, bruising and swelling is common over 1-2 weeks of recovery time.
Ultherapy is the less expensive option, starting at $2,500. The cost of a facelift in comparison, averages a heftier $7,048, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
The ideal candidate for Ultherapy is one with a mild to moderate degree of skin laxity. Ultherapy is a great choice for patients who are not interested in surgical options, yet want to achieve lifting in the skin or those who have undergone a face lift in the past and wish to maintain the results.
If you are interested in restoring a more naturally youthful facial appearance without going under the knife, Ultherapy is just what the doctor ordered! Visit Timeless Skin Solutions for a consultation and we will customize a treatment plan just right for you.
