Ultrasound Therapy Treatment

At Elite Medical Skin and Laser Center, we help men and women achieve professional, effective and affordable results through multiple skin rejuvenation treatments and techniques, including ultrasound therapy.

What is Ultrasound Therapy?

Using innovative sound wave technology, ultrasound therapy penetrates deep below the skin and works throughout treated areas to:

• Promote cellular growth and repair
• Tone underlying muscles
• Increase blood circulation, which can improve the skin’s color
• Encourage lymphatic drainage
• Treat puffiness and swelling

Ultrasound therapy will also gently exfoliate the skin, combating the onset of blemishes and increasing the skin’s ability to absorb product. After treatment, improvements in skin color, firmness, and softness are typically noted. Ultrasound therapy can effectively treat several cosmetic concerns, including:

• The appearance of congested, puffy eyes
• Large pores
• Skin texture and tone
• Acne and blemishes
• Dark under-eye circles
• The appearance of cellulite and fat deposits

Ultrasound therapy has also been proven to have anti-aging benefits by temporarily improving the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the upper torso. Depending on age, skin condition and skin type, multiple sessions may be required in order to achieve optimum results.

Am I a Good Candidate for Ultrasound Therapy?

It will be determined during your visit whether you are a good candidate for this treatment, but typically those who have mild to moderate skin laxity in the neck, chin and chest area and have realistic expectations for ultrasound therapy are approved.

Are There Any Side Effects?

After treatment the skin may appear slightly red or flushed, which should disappear after a few hours. Some patients also reported minor swelling, tingling and tenderness to the touch, which should also subside within a few hours or days. During your initial consultation, the medical staff will inform you of all possible risks and side effects of ultrasound therapy as well as how to best maintain your results.

How Long Will My Results Last?

As it may take time for your body to naturally generate collagen, the results of your ultrasound therapy may not be fully visible for 2-3 months. Some individuals may see results more quickly than others. How long your results last also can depend on the individual’s natural aging process. There are patients who need only one treatment in order to correct their affected areas, but receiving regular ultrasound therapy may be suggested in order to effectively manage cosmetic skin concerns.
