This nonsurgical skin tightening procedure is appropriate for just about everyone. In fact, there are no restrictions as far as age, gender, skin tone or skin color. Absolutely anyone can reap the benefits of this groundbreaking new procedure. Even people in their 30s and 40s are looking into this non invasive skin tightening treatment. You don’t have to wait until you see serious sagging and deep wrinkles to consider having Ultherapy. You may even see better results if you don’t wait. The younger you are, they better your body can generate collagen and tightening in response to treatment. The investment in this treatment early will likely benefit you exponentially in the long term. Why should you have to look older than you are? With this nonsurgical skin tightening procedure you have a choice.

Ultherapy relies upon ultrasound technology to stimulate the body’s natural collagen generation. When we are younger our body is much better at producing the collagen we need. This process slows with time, but Ultherapy effectively reverses that trend. Ultrasound waves can penetrate deep beneath the surface of the skin and into the facial muscles. The procedure creates tiny wounds that contract as they heal. This means that the muscles get tighter in the weeks and months after the procedure, resulting in the lessening of the appearance of jowls and a tighter overall jawline. Ultherapy works in a similar way for the upper face, lifting the upper eyelids and brows, creating a “brow lift” and making the eyes appear brighter and more youthful. This is in many ways similar to the results achieved by a face lift although the results are not as dramatic.

Dermatologists may also treat an intermediate zone beneath the skin that melts fat. This procedure is particularly useful for people who want to get rid of extra fat under the chin. Ultherapy can also be targeted to a superficial depth. This treatment effectively stimulates skin cells to cause them to produce more collagen. This enhanced collagen production results in fewer lines and wrinkles. It also improves overall skin texture.

The “Natural Youthful Skin Through The Beauty Of Sound with Ultherapy” was launched last July 17 at Le Jardin, which was hosted by Ms. Angel Jacob with guest speakers including by Drs. Hsien-Li Peter Peng, M.D., Venzo Viceral, M.D., Z Teo, M.D. and Ronaldo G. Elepano III, M.D.

Dr. Peng received his medical education at the National Defense Medical Center in Taipei, Taiwan, before completing his residency at the Department of Dermatology, TriService General Hospital in Taipei.

Dr. Peng, said Ulthera is one of his favorite devices because it is the only device that is U.S. FDA-approved for “lifting” the skin on the neck, brow, and under the chin. “It uses micro-focused ultrasound and is effective and safe. You get lasting results with just one treatment,” he described adding that Ulthera has a “deep see” visualization system that enables doctors to literally see what areas they are treating via a monitor.

Dr. Z Teo on the other hand is a renowned doctor and husband to celebrity dermatologist Dr. Aivee Teo,

Dr. Z Teo believes in enhancing his patient’s appearance and improving their body image using minimally invasive non-surgical methods. Dr. Z Teo’s approach is based on fully understanding his patient’s needs, goals and lifestyle before he proceeds to recommend the appropriate treatments.

According to his bio, Dr. Z Teo, completed his basic medical training at the University of Glasgow, United Kingdom. Dr. Z Teo took a keen interest in medical aesthetics. After witnessing the clear physical and psychological benefits when principles of wellness and beauty come together he decided to pursue medical aesthetics as his main practice focus. Dr. Z Teo trained under the mentorship of regionally renowned cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists with the aim of perfecting his skills.

“You are not doing it blind. We can even avoid bones. It’s very precise,” said Dr. Z Teo. When asked about downtime after treatment, he said patients who get a lot of “shots” might feel their skin to be a bit bloated, or there will be some swelling. He assured, “As you wake up everyday, it gets better. By the fourth week, you’ll definitely see lifting. There’s no redness and no peeling. Pain is subjective and can be managed.”

Dr. Venzo Viceral, Head of Medical and Regulatory Affairs of Merz Philippines Healthcare Inc., reiterated that they have options to help people look and feel better about themselves through holistic rejuvenation. “Ulthera is just one of the products we offer. It complements other treatments within the Merz Aesthetics Portfolio.”

Since the Ulthera System launched six years ago: 500,000+ patients treated globally, 3,000+ systems sold globally, 100+ patients (filed, published, or issued), 50+ clinical studies, 40+ published peer-reviewed papers, and the one and only U.S. FDA-cleared, non-invasive lift.

The resource speakers agree that Ultherapy is the next evolution in aesthetic science. Its focused ultrasound energy is delivered non-invasively to heat deep tissue without affecting the skin’s surface. The heat then triggers the body’s natural response mechanism, which results in rejuvenating weakened collagen and supplementing it with fresh, new ones.

Ultherapy is a single 60-90 minute procedure that bridges the gap between injectables and surgery. It is skin color independent and there are no pre- or post-treatment skin care requirements. Results gradually build over two to three months and can continue to improve up to six months post-procedure. Noticeable results can last for one year or more.

Psychiatrist Dr. Ron Elepano relates that a person who feels beautiful, tends to be more confident. “There is scientific basis to looking good. Most depressed patients look tired and sad. Something as simple as Ultherapy can lift and alleviate depressive symptoms,” he explained.
