Wrinkle Treatment at Dr. Rafael E. Estevez - Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgeon

Ultherapy is an FDA-approved non-invasive skin tightening treatment. Known as the non-surgical alternative to facelift surgery, Ultherapy uses a focused ultrasound beam to boost collagen production in the deeper layers of your skin. Collagen is a natural protein that comes in numerous different types. It gives firmness and tightness to your skin. As we grow old, collagen loses its strength and firmness and shows laxity. This procedure gives collagen its strength back.

While a facelift offers more obvious results, it leaves scars and has other associated risks such as nerve damage and clot formation. Ultherapy, on the other hand, requires plenty of time to make its effects visible. Also, more sessions are needed to maintain its effects. It strengthens the loose skin of your face and neck and nullifies the effects of ageing on your face. It has the advantage that there is no downtime for it. You can apply makeup immediately after the procedure. This procedure needs to be repeated every six months or a year.

Ultherapy tightens and strengthens your loose skin without giving incisions and stitches. Instead, a focused ultrasound beam is used to lift your skin. Before going through the therapy, you have a lower eyebrow line, droopy lower eyelid, flat saggy cheeks, and loose skin of the neck. After Ultherapy, your skin looks glowing and rejuvenated, cheeks look healthy and plumped, and eyelids look lifted.
