As the years pass, facial skin goes through a number of changes, no matter how well you’ve taken care of yourself. Sagging facial skin is a common complaint among men and women in Tomball, Texas, but help is available through the care of the team at New Life Wellness and Medical Spa.
Ultherapy offers a safe, effective, and nonsurgical treatment option for loose and sagging facial skin. It’s possible to achieve a renewed and refined profile and facial toning without the risks and recovery time of a facelift or other surgical intervention.
The primary cause of loose and sagging facial skin is collagen loss. Collagen is a thick layer of protein that gives your face the rounded contouring of youth. As the years go by, you naturally lose much of that collagen padding.
This leaves your skin without the same support you enjoyed during your younger years. Skin begins to sag and pool into lines, folds, and wrinkles. The areas of the face where sagging skin is often most obvious are your jawline and beneath the eyes.
Sagging can also occur in your brow and forehead, most often in your upper eyelid areas. This can create the impression that your eyes are smaller than they actually are or make you look tired.
Ultherapy is an ultrasound treatment that uses carefully controlled sound waves to trigger changes in the deeper layers of your skin. During sessions, a treatment handpiece delivers focused ultrasound energy as much as five millimeters into your skin.
This creates a heating effect in the skin, which your body perceives as damage, and it launches a swift reaction in an effort to “heal” the treated area. New collagen and elastin are produced, an effect that your body wouldn’t attempt without stimulation.
In the weeks and months after your treatment, new collagen and elastin begin to smooth and tighten your skin. It takes time for the full results to develop, but many people report improvements shortly after their treatment.
Most people only need one Ultherapy session to achieve improvement in sagging skin, and then they return for maintenance treatments every few years.
During your initial visit, your practitioner evaluates your facial skin and discusses your goals. You’ll learn what to expect in terms of treatment timelines and expenses.
One of the reasons why Ultherapy is such a popular treatment option is that you can resume your normal activities immediately after your visit. There’s no need for anesthesia, but if you have especially sensitive skin, your provider can use a special numbing cream to reduce sensations during treatment.
Most people find Ultherapy treatment easy to tolerate. Some report a mild sensation of heat or feelings of mild stinging or burning. There’s no significant pain, however, and the most commonly reported side effect is a day or so of mild tenderness in the treatment area.
