“Ultherapy” technique to tighten the face.

A new technique recommended by doctors

The treatment of sagging skin is witnessing a remarkable development, especially with regard to tightening the face and neck, after in the past years it was only applied through traditional surgery.

However, the modern approach to facial area restoration helped limit these operations, and the result was natural and satisfactory.

Ultherapy, with ultrasound, is the latest in this field and has advanced skin-tightening treatments, by applying them in just one hour without a stitch or scalpel.

Dr. Maysa Al-Sibai, assistant and consultant professor of maxillofacial surgery at King Abdulaziz University, points out that there are many techniques to tighten the skin and provide the face and neck area with freshness without surgery, namely: the technique of subcutaneous injection Dermal Fillers, whose effect lasts for a period ranging from 8 to 12 months And the Botox injection technique to treat wrinkles around the eyes and forehead, and the laser technology to treat small and fine wrinkles, especially around the eyes and mouth, and the latest is the Ultherapy technique.

What is Ultherapy?

This technique has many names, such as Market, Ulthea or Ultherapy, combined with the use of an Ultrasound device that operates on energy by means of a pen tube with a circular tip, which is passed on the skin of the face, neck and places to be lifted and tightened. Thus, ultrasound waves penetrate deep into the skin to activate the inner layer and stimulate it to build new collagen tissue, which in turn tightens and lifts the skin.

duration of treatment

The duration of treatment may vary according to the needs of the skin. There are those who suffer from slight and moderate sagging, but the treatment duration ranges between 4 and 8 sessions, and one session takes between 30 and 60 minutes, and the results appear completely after two or three months.

This technique works on building the skin from the inside, as collagen restoration requires some time. However, after each session, the patient may see the extent of the freshness and the difference in her skin.
