Ulthera

A Face-Lift with Ultrasound Technology? The Ulthera™ procedure that is making waves!

Ulthera™ is an exciting new non-invasive cosmetic procedure exclusive to Laserderm, that promises to set a new standard in the aesthetics industry. Used to precisely deliver acoustic sound waves deep into the skin to thermally initiate the body’s own rejuvenative mechanisms,  Ulthera™ tightens, pulls and lifts those problematic areas – giving the appearance of a face-lift - without any surgery or downtime!

Ulthera™ is the only skin rejuvenation procedure that uses ultrasound imaging and therapy. The ability to utilize an established technology to both see below the skin and then treat it with great precision, makes it both safe and incredibly effective. Results include firmer, tighter, more fit-looking skin in areas of the face (saggy eyes, cheeks) and neck and an overall refreshed appearance as well!

As with sonograms, an image is projected onto a screen that both you and the medical practitioner can see. The sound waves then deliver small, controlled amounts of energy into the deep layers of skin and soft tissue while sparing the upper layers. Your skin’s response to the energy is to contract slightly right away, and then to stimulate the growth of new collagen over time. A gradual tightening occurs, ultimately resulting in a natural, beneficial lift of facial skin tissue.

The procedure has an excellent safety profile, is tolerated without need for an anesthetic, and as sessions are only 30 minutes long the patient can return to his or her daily routine immediately. The only minor after-effects the patient’s might experience is  the skin may appear a bit flushed or puffy immediately after the treatment, but any redness should disappear in a matter of hours.

Ultrasound therapy, trusted by doctors and expectant mothers everywhere for decades now adds a new dimension to aesthetic medicine and Laserderm’s patients will be the first in South Africa to benefit from this incredible new procedure.

“We are extremely excited to offer our patients this new procedure and have no doubt they are going to be amazed by the results.  This is the perfect lunchtime procedure as it is so quick and effective!” adds Dr Natasha Begg-Spiro, Aesthetic Dr, Laserderm Med Spa.
