We at Bradley Dental Group have been hard at work to bring you the latest and best in aesthetic treatments! We are proud to announce that Ultherapy has been added to our array of cosmetic treatment options. If you are not familiar with the Ultherapy procedure, please read on as we explain what you can expect and just how wonderful the results are!
Firstly, Ultherapy requires no surgery and has no downtime. It works deep below the skin’s surface, reviving and creating new collagen. Results can be seen immediately after treatment, with best results appearing after a two to three month period when new collagen builds. Results have been known to last up to 6 months, as well!
Unlike other treatments, Ultherapy is the only procedure to use ultrasound imaging, which allows our doctors to see the layers of skin and accurately address where the treatment will be most beneficial. According to the official website for Ultherapy, it “uses sound energy — tried-and-true ultrasound — which has unique properties that allow it to bypass the surface of the skin to treat depths not matched by any other non-invasive cosmetic device.” This means that it can reach the deeper skin layers, which light energy laser treatments cannot.
During your Ultherapy treatment, you may experience tiny amounts of energy being applied to the area of treatment. However, this sensation is only lasts while the ultrasound energy is delivered. Side effects are mild, with redness around the applicated areas or feeling a slight tingling or tenderness around the treatment area. These are of course temporary and there is absolutely no downtime after treatment. You may continue your day directly after your appointment and there is no need for post-treatment measures.
Many patients find they only need one treatment for fantastic results. Sometimes, however, we find some may benefit from more than one treatment depending on skin laxity and their own biological response.
