If your side profile has you doing a double take in the mirror lately, let us introduce you to the gift (for your skin) to end all gifts this holiday season! Ultherapy® is a high-intensity focused ultrasound that stimulates your body’s own collagen production to give you a naturally lifted profile that continues to improve over time. What could be better than the gift that keeps on giving? We’ll tell you! Ultherapy generally has a lifetime of every year to year and a half.
What is Ultherapy?
At Pure Skin, Dr. John Botsford performs all Ultherapy treatments in our conveniently located medical spa in Bismarck, ND. Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure and the only of its kind FDA cleared to lift skin on the neck, under the chin and on the eyebrow (and now the décolletage too)! Ultherapy uses ultrasound therapy with non-ionizing ultrasonic waves to heat tissue and increase blood flow, thus encouraging collagen production deep in the dermis for a lifting and tightening effect where treated.
What is the downtime?
One of our favorite things about Ultherapy is that has NO downtime! Possible side effects vary by patient and can include slight swelling, tingling and redness. The good news is that these are usually short lived and correct themselves after just a few hours (and some don’t experience them at all). Regardless of any mild skin reactions, your activity won’t be restricted after treatment. . . so you can go on about your day and enjoy the benefits to come!
What does Ultherapy cost?
Now for the golden question – what does it cost? Although the cost of Ultherapy depends upon the amount of areas treated, treatment of the neck at Pure Skin will run you $1,500. When you consider the year to year and a half timeline, that’s about the cost of three coffees a week! Not to mention, you’ll be saving yourself the time and hassle of more expensive routine maintenance you’d otherwise need to achieve the same benefits.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients will notice immediate tightening but the best results will start to really appear in about 4-6 months after one Ultherapy treatment. However, depending on skin laxity and your body’s response to the collagen-building process, some patients may benefit from more than one treatment. At Pure Skin, we always offer consultations and we’re happy to give you an idea beforehand of how many treatments we anticipate you needing.
Kiss those turtlenecks goodbye and deck the halls this holiday season with a slim, structured, feminine neck and jawline with no surgery or downtime with Ultherapy! You’ll enjoy the collagen enhancing benefits just like Jennifer Aniston, Christie Brinkley and Courtney Cox and the many other celebrities who frequent Ultherapy themselves!
