Man has been in search of eternal youth since the dawn of civilization but has generally failed in his efforts. It’s only plastic surgeons in modern times that have, to a certain extent been able to partly fulfill this desire. The first signs of age catching up are initially visible on the face. Bags under the eyes and lips, sagging skin around the neck and drooping eyebrows are some of the tell tale signs. Even a few years back, two to be precise, corrections needed a full surgical facelift procedure with considerable downtime and scarring. Not anymore. Ultherapy has changed the very structure of facelifts, being a completely non-surgical treatment.

How is it carried out? Ulthera in Los Angeles is a simple hand held device emitting ultra-sound waves. This is placed against targeted facial muscles that need tightening. The procedure is carried out in the office of the surgeon. Some patients do feel a certain amount of discomfort like stinging or hot flashes which can be taken care of by passing cool air over the affected areas. In extreme cases, pain killing medication or local anesthesia is administered. Dr. Michael Persky, MD, eminent surgeon for Facial Plastic Surgery in Encino, is a specialist in Ulthera in Los Angeles. Call 818-501-3223 for a complimentary consultation.

There is absolutely no downtime after the procedure and the patient can resume normal lifestyle almost immediately. The ideal candidates for Ultherapy are those between the ages of 35 to 60. Beyond that traditional full surgical facelift is more effective. The full impact of this wonder non-surgical treatment is visible after 2 to 3 months when the rejuvenated youthful look can be seen in all its glory.

Ultherapy has been practiced by leading plastic surgeons in the USA for about a couple of years now. The ideal candidates for Ulthera in Los Angeles are those who want a total facelift without the inconvenience and after effects of invasive surgery. The changes desired might be pulling up sagging skin on the neck, lifting the brows and tightening the areas around the eyes and lips. All this can be done in the office under local anesthesia by using a simple handheld ultra-sound device that targets particular muscles on the face. For the best results, contact Dr Persky 818-501-3223 a facial plastic surgery in Encino.

Since this is a non-surgical and non-invasive procedure, there is obviously negligible downtime. It is helpful for those who are either terrified of scalpels and needles or have a past medical condition that does not permit them to go through surgery. It is also reported that Ulthera in Los Angeles can be painful at times but this is usually confined to hot and intense bursts of stinging. Patients are given oral or nerve block injections in extreme cases, but in most instances, cool air blowing across the skin is sufficient to douse the pain.

If you are between 35 and 60 this is the procedure for you. Beyond that, facial plastic surgery in Encino is recommended.The results of ultherapy are not immediately visible but surely after 2-3 months you will start seeing a much younger and rejuvenated person in the mirror. Generally the effects of this treatment last for about a couple of years and those who underwent the procedure in the early days after its introduction in the country are now coming back for second treatment.
