Episode Transcript

Hey there, it’s July 8th, 2024, and today let’s talk about Ultherapy, a standout non-invasive beauty procedure that’s been making waves. It’s lifted over two million faces globally and is known for its ability to naturally lift and tighten skin.

Ultherapy works by using ultrasound to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin, leading to a gradual tightening and lifting effect. Fion Wu, Director of The DRx Clinic, explains that this treatment targets sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles, making it a popular non-surgical facelift alternative.

Wu highlights a case where a woman in her 50s saw significant improvements in her jawline and neck area over several months post-treatment. This gradual transformation resulted in a more youthful, defined jawline and diminished jowls.

For a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation, Wu recommends pairing Ultherapy with Merz Aesthetics’ Skin Refresh Treatment. This treatment works by blocking acetylcholine to reduce muscle contractions, smoothing out wrinkles. Results can be seen in as little as three to four days, making it an appealing option for those dealing with moderate to severe frown lines.

Both treatments have minimal downtime. Ultherapy requires sun protection and a good skincare routine to maintain results. The Skin Refresh Treatment might cause temporary redness or swelling but usually subsides within a few days. Combining these procedures can give you a naturally rejuvenated look, with immediate improvements from the Skin Refresh Treatment and longer-term benefits from Ultherapy.

That’s it for today. Stay tuned for more insights on aesthetic treatments and keep sculpting your confidence!
