Main Information
<p>To start with, you and your practitioner will discuss which area you'd like to be treated. You can choose to treat just one area of your face and neck, your face only, your neck only or both.</p> <p>Careful discussions regarding your reasons for wanting treatment are very important before you begin the treatment. You must also make sure that this treatment can deliver what you want and how you would like to look afterwards. Your practitioner should be able to answer all these questions.</p> <p>A medical history should also be taken to make sure that there are no reasons why you shouldn’t undertake treatment. You may be asked to sign a consent form which means that you have understood the potential benefits and risks associated with the procedure.</p> <p>Photographs may also be taken by the practitioner for a "before and after" comparison at a later date.</p> <p><strong>Procedure</strong></p> <p>The skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove make-up, debris etc. and an ultrasound gel applied to the surface of the skin. The smooth applicator hand piece will then be placed onto the skin and the micro-focused ultrasound will be applied. It will bypass the surface of the skin, penetrating to the deeper layers of skin to stimulate collagen production. Ultrasonic imaging will be used to determine where the ultrasound energy should be deposited. The ultrasound gel will then be cleansed from the skin and an ointment or moisturiser may then be applied to skin.</p> <p>A partial face, brow or neck lift will take approximately 30 minutes, while a full face and neck lift will take between 60-90 minutes.</p> <p><strong>Repeat Procedures</strong></p> <p>The results of an ultrasonic skin tightening treatment typically last for a year, although some people might see results lasting between three to five years. Young, fresh collagen is still being produced one year on, but skin continues to age and so practitioners will generally advise that you have at least one top-up treatment per year in order to keep up with the on-going ageing process and maintain the result.</p>
