hi I'm dr. Renata VIX Harris makers medic physician and today I want to talk about
all Thera so Ulthera is the only FDA cleared non-invasive procedure that lifts and tightens
the skin on the face and neck it is considered the gold standard for non-surgical lifting and
tightening of the skin so othera uses ultrasound technology and it bypasses the skin to deliver
energy to the deeper layers of the skin and the muscle to stimulate the body to produce collagen
and elastin in a natural way to lift and tighten the skin the results are very natural because we
rely on the body's own biological response and ability to build collagen to get a good result
because we rely on your own collagen production it takes about 2 to 3 months to start seeing initial
results I did affair of myself last year and I remember in the beginning thinking not that
impressive and all of a sudden around 4 months you could see you know the lifting effect and
a tightening of the skin and it lasted up to 6 months and it's kind of held steady for the last
year so a lot of my patients will come back around 3 to 4 months and tell me that they've had people
asking them you know if they started using new makeup or new foundation because you know they
look better so one of the big advantages of al fara is that it's non-invasive which means
no surgery no needles no stitches it will not give you the results of a facelift but there's
virtually no downtime with it so the majority of patients only need one treatment however there are
some people who may benefit from more than one and it really depends on how much laxity and a loss
of collagen they Hart had to start with and how well their body responds to this collagen building
one of the newer exciting combinations that we're doing with all their opee is adding radius to it
radius is a bio stimulator it's a filler but it acts more as a natural stimulant to the
body to help boost the collagen production if you combine it with Ulthera you'll get an even better
result so a good candidate for othera has mild to moderate laxity of the skin and it starts feeling
a little bit less firm and loose usually this is people in their 30s or 40s people have taken
really good care of their skin in their 50s can benefit from all there are - another concern that
some of my patients have is about the discomfort that you can get with Ulthera it does hurt a
little bit it's a little bit uncomfortable but it only the discomfort is only in the area that
we treat so if I treat on this side of the cheek this side doesn't bother people at all I usually
recommend them to take some motrin beforehand and we also offer nitrous oxygen which is laughing gas
and it kind of takes the edge of the paint and I've never had to stop a treatment where people
say yeah I can't tolerate it I have to get in regards to downtime there is no restrictions
afterwards people can return to their regular activities right away I really like ethera I
think it's a great procedure especially when it's combined with other treatments like filler
or Botox but we have other options so I would like to invite you to come to our office for a
free consultation and we can evaluate you and the site together what would be the best plan for you
