Going to a wedding or getting married this summer? You’ve probably chosen your dress, booked a hair stylist and are deep in wedding breakfast planning. But what about your skin? On the day – and in the photographs you’ll look back on for years to come – you’ll want to look the best version of yourself (even if you’re a guest, rather than the bride). Which means that, just as important as your outfit, is a glowing complexion. So perhaps it’s no surprise that brides are turning to Ultherapy® – a non-invasive treatment that lifts and sculpts the face, neck and décolletage.
When it comes to non-surgical lifting and tightening, Ultherapy® has been cleared by the FDA as a non-invasive aesthetic treatment that can be used to lift the brow, chin and neck, as well as improve lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. As we age, we lose collagen and elastin – two key structural proteins – causing skin to sag. Ultherapy® stimulates the growth of new collagen and elastin so that the face and neck are lifted and firmed, for a rejuvenated appearance. Best of all, there are no needles involved and minimal downtime.
So how does it work? Ultherapy® uses micro-focused ultrasound technology to generate a thermal effect in the deep layers of the skin without disrupting the surface. You can usually resume your regular activities straight away and any redness usually fades within hours. Treatment can take roughly between 30 to 90 minutes, with results developing over three months for a natural looking lifting effect – that potentially lasts more than a year.
Dr Alexis Granite is an expert in aesthetic dermatology. She says, ‘In clinic there has been a significant rise in demand for non-surgical treatments to target sagging skin and enhance skin texture. Ultherapy® is a widely popular non-invasive, rejuvenating therapy that I highly recommend. It requires just one session with lasting results – a naturally lifted appearance and a smoother, healthier-looking complexion. It’s suitable for all ages and skin types, so it’s a fantastic option.’
Meanwhile, TV presenter and Ultherapy® ambassador Tess Daly credits the treatment for her trademark glow. ‘My goal is luminous skin. To achieve that I know I have to use SPF and drink as much water as I can, and this treatment works from the inside out to give skin a boost,’ she says.
So, with Ultherapy®, a glowing complexion could be just what you’re looking for ahead of wedding season.
