Take the years off your face with a No-Knife therapy ...

You really need to read this...!!!

People age with time and the effects are most noticeable and manifested foremost on the skin. The face sags and wrinkles appear due to gravity and sun. Therefore we must be prepared to take effective measures so that we can flaunt a younger looking skin for a long time. Various therapies and techniques are used for skin anti-aging purposes. Surgical interventions and cosmetic surgery for facelifts usually requires a long healing period. And often many people try to shirk off the idea of a surgery involving cuts and knifes. Thus those who are contemplating a facelift but want to avoid surgery can consider a breakthrough in skin anti-aging called Ultherapy. 

Ultherapy is a micro-focussed ultrasound treatment for skin tightening. It is a 60-90 minutes treatment that uses your body’s own regenerative response to gently and gradually restore memory to the skin and underlying tissues. Skin is one of the most delicate parts of the body which requires proper care as negligence can make the skin age at an earlier date. Skin care requires both external and internal care; facial massages can tighten the skin muscles, improve the blood circulation and clears the dead cells thereby maintains a beautiful, glowing and younger looking skin. However after reaching a certain age the skin will anyhow begin to show the signs of aging and therefore will require some extra efforts to keep the skin looking younger for a longer period. Ultherapy uses ultrasound to work deep within the skin layers and eventually tightens it thus improving skin texture and tone. 

Aptly called the ‘lunchtime lift’, Ultherapy provides an immediate smoothing effect by slowing down the aging process by creating new structural collagen. 

The therapy is USFDA approved for skin tightening of the face and neck. You see improvement initially and they continue for 6 months. Unlike lasers, which penetrate the skin from the outside-in, Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin, specifically targeting the deep, structural skin tissues where collagen lives. The Ultherapy is different from other non-surgical treatments that it focuses on ultrasound pulse energy into the tissue, working from the inside-out delivering thermal energy. This thermal energy revs up collagen producing engines within the tissues, resulting in the production of new collagen and markedly improving the elasticity of the skin. The effect lasts for upto 2 1/2 years after which you may need a retreatment since you are 21/2 years older!! 

The ideal candidate is someone between 35 and 60 with early signs of laxity. These patients see results within three to six months with a single treatment. Patients over the age of 60 may require a second treatment in six months. Many patients are looking to stay competitive in the workforce, which they believe is tied to their appearance. Whether improving their appearance to look more vibrant or for the associated confidence boost, people perceive this to be important and they come into the clinics looking for help.

Forty-year old Harsimran got all excited when she received an invitation for a college reunion. Reminiscing old times, she smiled thinking how popular she was, especially for her looks. But the smile vanished as soon she saw herself in the mirror. After two kids and a life revolving around family and work, her face had sagged and she had developed fine lines, pigmentation and dullness on her skin. All of a sudden she got scared of the idea of meeting her college friends again. What would they say? She did not want her pretty image shattered. 

Sigh! Only if reality had a Photoshop to make us look flawlesshb at all ages. Nonetheless, there is cosmetic surgery to the rescue. But alas, most of us are scared of going under the knife and do not want needle stings. Thanks to advances in medical science, a breakthrough in skin anti-ageing treatment called Ultherapy has been invented. The new fad is being vouched by Hollywood celebrities such as Courtney Cox, Jennifer Aniston and Kim Kardashian to name a few and everyone is singing praises for this painless no-knife treatment. 

Dr Shahin Nooreyezdan, Senior Consultant – Cosmetic Surgery, Apollo Cosmetic Clinics Delhi says, “Beautiful, glowing younger looking skin requires intensive care, both internally and externally. Especially, after crossing 30's this process requires extra effort to overcome the signs of ageing. A relatively new therapy for India, Ultherapy provides an immediate smoothing effect by slowing down the aging process by creating new structural collagen and eventually tightens it thus improving skin texture and tone.” 

Today, Ultherapy is being used in more than 55 countries and around 40 scientific papers have been published on the procedure. More than twice that number of scientific lectures have also been delivered at various platforms. 

Also known as the ‘lunchtime lift’, Ultherapy is a micro-focused ultrasound treatment for skin tightening. Yes, an ultrasound system, normally used for viewing baby growth in pregnant ladies. Conveniently termed as 'lunchtime lift' it requires no overnight stay at the clinic. “You can literally choose to get it done in your lunch hour and go back to work.  It is a mere 60-90 minutes’ treatment that uses your body’s own regenerative response to gently and gradually restore memory to the skin and underlying tissues”, says Dr Nooreyezdan 

Approved by the USFDA, improvements continue for 6 months. Different than lasers, which penetrate the skin from the outside-in, Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin, specifically targeting the deep, structural skin tissues where collagen lives. The technique uses ultrasound pulse energy to enter into the tissue, working from the inside-out delivering thermal energy. This thermal energy revives the collagen producing engines within the tissues, resulting in the production of new collagen and markedly improving the elasticity of the skin. The effect lasts for up to two and a half years after which you may need another session as you have become two and a half years older too!! 

Dr Nooreyezdan added, “Ultherapy is recommended for those between 35 and 60 with early signs of laxity. These patients see results within three to six months with a single treatment. Patients over the age of 60 may require a second treatment in six months. Treatments specific for certain areas such as the chin, eyes or brow can last for several years.” 

While fillers and Botox are overpriced, can be painful and need to be done regularly, Ultherapy gives a great natural-looking freshening up alternate. 

Do give it a shot and feel the difference yourselves!
