What is Ultherapy

Ultherapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical facial rejuvenation cosmetic procedure that is kinder and gentler to the skin. The treatment involves using radio frequency or ultrasound energy that does not touch upon the surface of the skin. After a single 30-60 minute Ultherapy procedure, there is no need to stay in-doors for there has been no damage to the surface of one’s skin – unlike facelifts and such older techniques.

Ultherapy: Pros & Cons

Pros	Cons
1) A painless process, no need for anesthetic and bandages during the procedure. It has a low-impact and so, is gentle on your skin and face. Which in turn means that time is saved; there will be little to no down-time as no healing of the skin’s surface is required.	1) Several Ultherapy procedures will be necessary to see anti-aging effects and the gradual improvement of your skin’s current condition.
2) It is considered a cheaper option than other techniques such as a face-lift.	2) Since several procedures are necessary, the costs add up so do take note of that. That said, it is a far less expensive alternative than say, an invasive facelift which involves a scalpel and IV.
3) The procedure promotes natural collagen formation and gradually blossoms over the year-long span.	3) Results will begin to fade after a year.Whereas certain invasive procedures such as aface-lift produces permanent results. Althoughthe skin will still age after a face-lift, results are longer-lasting.

Is Ultherapy for you?

Korean plastic surgery clinics are well-regarded and known to be the best in Asia. In the hands of an experienced surgeon in Korean Plastic Surgery, undergoing anti-aging surgeries will not be a problem. This is especially the case for healthy adults whose skin has become less firm and is starting to sag – they are said to be the right candidates for Ultherapy.
For those whom prefer permanent results and decide that it is time for a facelift, by all means go ahead, although there is a risk for permanent scarring as well. That said, you might want to consider other options such as a non-invasive face-lift; the advantages of a non-invasive facelift are plentiful. Finally, it is of paramount importance to recognize that an ounce of preventive measure can go a long way, rather than a pound of cure. The end of the line is this; there are many skin rejuvenating methods, but Ultherapy stimulates deep collagen growth and can better tackle the effects and signs of aging.
