Ulthera and the Other Non-Surgical Skin Treatments
If you are looking for younger, and healthier looking skin but don’t want to go through a surgical procedure in order to get it, there are lots of options for you. There are such a range of options in fact that it may be difficult for you to choose which is the one for you. I went for Ulthera treatment last year and I was incredibly happy with my decision not to undergo surgery as this treatment left my skin looking amazing. I wanted therefore to recommend this treatment to you, as well as give you some details about non-surgical techniques which are used, to give you some more information on the subject.
What Are Non-Surgical Treatments All About?
Non-surgical skin treatments seeks to accomplish healthier and fresher looking skin, by encouraging you body to repair and regrow the skin cells. Your skin features plenty of various hormones ad proteins and through these treatments you can strengthen the body’s natural healing capabilities. The majority of noon-surgical methods look to fortify those existing chemicals in the body such as collagen, to encourage your skin to produce more of these chemicals and to reverse them slowing down with age.
Ablative or Non-Ablative Skincare Procedures
Ablative refers to any procedures on the skin that impact the outer skin layer. For example laser tattoo removal or similar cosmetic procedures fall very much under this category. Popular treatments such as microdermabrasion or chemical peels, are classed as non-surgical ablative procedures as well. These types of procedures require follow up care and and could lead to infections if these are not carefully adhered to.
Non-ablate procedures are those which don’t have a huge impact on the outer layers of the skin, but rather dealing with what is under the surface in terms of skin cells and the body’s ability to regenerate.
Benefits of Ablative Procedures
Ablative procedures generally require little downtime after you have had them and often you will feel absolutely fine after the treatment. This is of course not always the case, some chemical peels can require some relaxation time afterwards but in the main this is the strongest benefit of these outer-skien procedures.
Benefits of Non-Ablative Procedures
There are very few risks or side affects attached to non-ablative procedures using radio waves and lasers however the results of these kind of treatments will be less noticeable instantly. If you are looking for an instant impact then you need to bear in mind that many of these procedures will not improve your skin until after many different sessions.
The choice is of course up to you what kind of treatment you go in for, this will come down to how much time you have, how much money you wish to spend and ultimately, what kind of result you are looking for, and in what kind of time frame.
