The loss of skin elasticity and definition are some of the most unfortunate side effects that men encounter with aging. This often results in sagging or drooping skin around the face, neck, and chest area. If you’re starting to show any of these telltale signs of aging, there’s a way to turn back the hands of time without surgery. At Dr. Steinbrech’s NYC practice, we offer what’s known as Ultherapy, a non-invasive solution that can help men achieve their aesthetic goals.
What Is Ultherapy?
Unlike lasers or surgery, Ultherapy is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that lifts and tightens the skin naturally. With the use of ultrasound technology, Ultherapy can penetrate beyond the skin’s surface and stimulate the body’s production of collagen. Male patients can enjoy smoother skin and a more youthful appearance.
What Areas Can Ultherapy Treat?
Most commonly, Ultherapy is used on the face. However, it can be used on any area of the body where the skin has begun to look and feel less firm. Male patients commonly experience loose or sagging skin in areas surrounding the face, neck, and chest, in addition to the brows and underneath the chin.
The Benefits of Ultherapy For Men
- No needles or incisions
- No recovery time
- Non-invasive, painless procedure
Who Is An Ideal Candidate for Ultherapy?
If you’re interested in what Ultherapy can do for you, a good candidate is someone whose skin has become noticeably relaxed. While Ultherapy for men is not a replacement for cosmetic surgery, it can be an effective alternative for those who cannot or do not want to undergo a surgical procedure. This non-invasive treatment can effectively tighten skin, smooth wrinkles, and provide a “tuck up” for someone who has had previous surgery or for those not old enough to undergo a full facelift.
How Is Ultherapy For Men Performed?
At Dr. Steinbrech’s NYC office, a practitioner will start by cleansing the patient’s skin. Next, a special ultrasound gel is applied to the targeted area, and the applicator is placed against the skin. Once the best areas of placement have been determined, ultrasound energy is then delivered beneath the surface of the skin. A face or neck Ultherapy treatment lasts approximately 60-90 minutes, while chest treatment sessions take only 30 minutes.
How Long Do The Results Last?
The results from Ultherapy will continue to develop gradually over a two to three month period. Although, some changes in appearance may be noticeable immediately after treatment. Since each patient will respond to Ultherapy differently, the rate at which the collagen stimulation progresses will vary, as will the duration of the final result. However, most men have enjoyed younger, smoother looking skin for up to two years. Follow up sessions are encouraged to further maintain your Ultherapy results.
Recovery Time
There is zero downtown time with an Ultherapy treatment and patients can resume their normal daily activities right away. Immediately following your procedure, the skin may have a flushed appearance that should subside in a few hours. Some men have also reported mild swelling, tingling, tenderness, or in rare cases, bruising and numbness on small areas of skin. These effects are temporary and typically subside within a day or so.
