A Beautiful Synergy:  Sculptra+Ultherapy= Sculptherapy

 

The latest anti-aging technological innovations are providing real alternatives to a surgical facelift. Combining Sculptra injections with Ultherapy ultrasound offers one of the most effective non-surgical, facelift options available today. Sculptherapy offers a safe and non-surgical, long-lasting option to going "under the knife". It will restore your face and neck to a more youthful appearance gradually and subtly in as little as 90 days without surgery or downtime with results that can last more than two years.**

 

Dr. Epstein understands that many patients do not want to endure face-lift surgery but still want to look and feel younger. Fortunately, today, you now have real alternatives to surgery with the synergistic effects of non-surgical facial rejuvenation options.

 

Dr. Epstein brings together the newest and most effective facial and neck tightening, Ultherapy ultrasound with the longest lasting facial injectable treatment Sculptra Aesthetic to achieve real results that require no surgery, downtime and offer lasting results. Both Utherapy and Sculptra offer clinically proven lasting results for up to 2 years or more for many patients.**

 

As we age the face loses the natural volume of youth as collagen and bone mass decline and gravity pulls our features down causing hooded eyes, cheek flattening, marionette lines from the nose to mouth and mouth to chin, loose skin under the chin and banding around the neck.

 

Facial skin lifting and tightening Ultherapy and Sculptra, a long lasting injectable volumizing" filler offer substantial results as alternatives to “going under the knife”. Results will unfold over the course of 2-3 months and some patients have reported continued improvement for up to 6 months, including lifting and tightening of the skin on the neck, under the chin, along the jawline, and on the brow and have been shown to last for ­­­­several years with minor maintenance treatments.

 

Ultherapy addresses skin tightening, lifting and toning

 

Ultherapy® is a non-surgical, micro-focused ultrasound treatment for lifting tightening and toning the skin. One Ultherapy treatment naturally rejuvenates and strengthens collagen within the skin. It achieves a more open look to the eyes, lifts the eyebrows, creates a more defined jaw line, and a tighter neck.

 

Ultherapy®, is the first and only micro-focused ultrasound aesthetic treatment cleared by the FDA with a non-invasive face "lift" indication. Ultherapy® addresses the deepest foundational layer of the skin where collagen resides to provide support to the skin and facial structure.This deep foundational layer is the same deep layer that is addressed in cosmetic surgery.

 

Ultherapy bypasses the upper layers of skin and delivers micro-focused ultrasound energy specifically targeting the deep, structural skin tissues where collagen lives. Unlike lasers, which penetrate the skin from the outside in, Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin, and actually works from the inside out to lift and tighten skin non-invasively. Ultherapy® is different than lasers which can only improve the superficial layers of the skin such as fine lines, wrinkles and pigment changes. Although Ultherapy® does not duplicate the results of surgery, it is a meaningful alternative with natural, noticeable results.

 

Good candidates for Ultherapy range from younger patients who want to proactively stay ahead of aging to women thinking about a face lift but not ready to select surgery. Skin laxity, one of the most noticeable signs of aging, typically starts on the forehead, leading to brow descent, which in turn creates excess skin that hoods the eyes and makes them appear smaller. Mid-cheek flattening, nasolabial folds, downturned mouth and loss of jaw line angularity follow creating sagging under the chin and banding around the neck.

 

Sculptra is a long-lasting, contouring, volumizing-injectable

 

Dr Epstein combines Ultherapy® skin tightening with Sculptra injections that compatibly enhances both treatments. Sculptra is a "volumizer" not a wrinkle filler. It helps to add the volume back to the face that has deflated with age. Ultherapy tightens and tones skin but does not fully replenish the lost fullness and volume . As we age, we lose facial volume and bone density causing a flattening of the cheeks, temples, lips, around the mouth and hollowing under the eyes. By replacing the volume loss, you restore the reflection of light and the appearance of youth, energy and vibrancy. This volume replacement fills the skin so that it is lifted by the formation of your body's own collagen - collagen that was created in surrounding the microscopic particles that make up Sculptra.

 

Sculptra works by stimulating the body to produce new collagen at the injection sites, replacing lost volume and contours to restore a fuller, more youthful appearance.

 

Each treatment consists of a few injections to the areas to be volumized; the cheek, and temple and jaw line. Usually 2 or 3 treatment sessions are required to get the desired effect. The product is administered with local anesthesia and the discomfort is minimal. As with all other injections there can be temporary swelling and bruising. Otherwise, there is no 'downtime'. The lasting effects of Sculptra™ vary from patient to patient, however studies have shown that some Sculptra™ patients have seen results last up to or greater than two years from the first treatment. Periodic touch up treatments will maintain the desired effects.
