Will Ultherapy work for me? I have a bit of sagging around my chin and mouth

Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest. As we age, collagen breaks down, resulting in loss of skin strength and elasticity. For tissue tightening, Ultherapy is ideal for the lower face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Morpheus8 to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity.

Using MicroFocused Ultrasound with Visualisation (“MFU-V”), the Ulthera device delivers ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of skin to generate focal areas of heating known as Thermal Coagulation Points. Collagen rich layers of the skin- such as the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (“SMAS”) and deep dermis are targeted. The treatment causes existing collagen to contract and triggers new collagen production- as evidenced by immediate skin tightening that further improves over the next 2-3 months. Using the patented DeepSEE® technology, the Ulthera system provides real-time ultrasound visualization of the skin down to 8mm, allowing practitioners to deliver the treatment at the optimal tissue depth and avoid injuring structures such as blood vessels or bone.

Hello; To begin with, I would recommend for you skin rejuvenation and renewal applications. Face lifting operation; does not change skin quality. Excess sagging skin is erased by a surgical operation; but, since, this will negatively effect the circulation of the remaining facial skin; the related skin quality may become worse than before. Due to this reason, after having a face lift operation, I will advise for you that; Thermage FLX; which extends for the operation time and improve skin quality. Thermage FLX is confirmed by FDA; for chin contouring process. While it increases the subcutaneous temperature to 80°, it protects the skin surface by keeping it at 20° and provides for long-term natural collagen synthesis. In addition to these, it would be an accurate option to have LANLUMA process to support the subcutaneous tissue. LANLUMA includes PLA molecules; which affects remain for a very long time and provides liquid face lifting. If you have extra depressions on your face, I recommend for RADIESSE method for them too. It is a calcium Hydroxyapatite molecule with skin rejuvenating properties; that lasts such a long time. This combination will make you very happy. By the synergistic effect of this treatment, your skin will rejuvenate, your fine wrinkles will reduce and you will have more vibrant, brighter skin. I highly advise you; to have it done without thinking.
