However, the good news is that you do not have just live with it. There are various treatments available that can reverse the ageing process and make you look younger and refreshed.
At Retens, they provide a treatment named Ultherapy which is one non-invasive treatment which makes use of ultrasound technology to lift and tighten up your skin.
This works well on the face, chin and neck area. Their aesthetic team are well experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to this new technology.
Ulthera therapy is a treatment which takes about 60 to 90 minutes for the procedure to be done. Depending on your current condition, the medical professional will decide whether to provide you with sedative options.
Once you are made comfortable in the treatment area, your professional will start with the procedure with a patented treatment device on your skin. This will cause a mild sensation, pressure and heat on your skin.
Here are some pre- and post-treatment instructions that need to be taken care of:
First, we will look at the pre-treatment instructions:
- Avoid using these products 3 days before and after the treatment. This includes Retin-A, retinoids or other vitamin A compounds, harsh compounds, exfoliating products and bleaching creams.
- Avoid tanning or sun exposure which is 2 weeks before and after the treatment
- If required, shave off the required treatment area.
- Cleanse off the treated area with a gentle cleanser with tepid water.
- Most importantly avoid using blood thinners and heavy alcohol just 2 weeks before the treatment
- Make sure that you have small meals before the treatment, especially if you are going to take some sedatives before the treatment.
- Please notify the provider if you got any history of cold sores or fever blisters.
- Avoid doing this if you are pregnant
Immediately after the treatment, many patients do experience redness or swelling on the skin.
This may go away on its own after some time.
Now let us look into the post-treatment instructions:
- After the treatment, the first thing to do is to keep your skin clean and natural.
- Therefore, you need to avoid any kind of harsh or make-up products that will interfere with this treatment.
- They can irritate your skin and result in redness and swelling. Also, it can get in the way of your healing process and will make it harder for your skin to recover.
- Sunlight is a great interference in your treatment, which will make your skin heal slowly and unevenly.
- Therefore, protect your skin by using an SPF and avoid going much in the sunlight for a few days.
- Avoid any other kinds of facial treatments for the next six months of your therapy. This can lead to more sensitivity and cause skin irritation.
- Avoid consuming alcohol and caffeine at least 24 hours after the treatment. This can lead to an increase in the ageing process.
The 超声刀is a very powerful technology that can bring about a lot of changes in your skin.
But these before and after treatment instructions need to be followed carefully.
