Learn About a Neck Lift with Ultherapy

Neck Lift

When most people hit a certain age, they start to notice a dramatic change in their appearance. This is especially the case if they have not used different forms of preventative treatments to boost the production of collagen in their skin in order to minimize wrinkles and maintain facial volume. One of the areas that really bothers a lot of people is the area around the chin and down the neck. Some people are dealing with unwanted fat in this area and have a lot of loose and hanging skin. If this describes the issue that you are dealing with, we invite you to learn about a neck lift using Ultherapy®.

Let’s first discuss some of the options that a person may consider initially as they look in the mirror and feel dissatisfied with sagging skin at the lower part of their face, on their neck, and down toward their chest area. It is easy to remove unwanted fat using injections, like the popular product Kybella®. However, this treatment will not do anything for loose skin. There are also other fat removal treatments that do not require surgery, but here again, the loose skin is not addressed. 

Combining a surgical neck lift procedure with liposuction can provide an individual with satisfactory results. The unwanted skin is removed, fat is reduced, and a person looks more youthful and attractive. However, having surgery performed is a big step. Not everyone is ready for it, and not everyone qualifies for it. As you look at the alternatives, you can see why Ultherapy® is something that we highly encourage our clients to consider when they want to address some of the signs that begin to show up due to the aging process.

Learn More About Ultherapy® 

The first thing that you should know about this treatment is that it is non-surgical. It does not involve the use of any incisions. The skin is left completely intact. This means that you do not need to worry about some of the issues that we mentioned above. With a surgical procedure, you would need a lot of downtime. This means that you would have to take a lot of time off from work, have someone help you around the house, and would not be able to spend the same amount of time with your family. You would likely feel quite uncomfortable as you are going through the healing process as well. You do not need to worry about any of these negative side effects with our treatment.

The purpose of this treatment is to focus ultrasound waves at areas where a person is dealing with loose skin. The ultrasound waves will reach various depths of the skin, even reaching the muscle layers. This is great because this is where the aging process is really taking place and is what is causing your aged appearance. We want the collagen in the skin to be damaged at the deepest levels. We are able to accomplish this by the heat that is created thanks to the ultrasound waves. When the collagen in the skin is damaged, the body starts to produce more collagen. The inflammation means that damaged collagen will be replaced with collagen that is tight and new. This is going to lead to a lifting effect. The areas that receive treatment are going to look smoother and have fewer wrinkles.

When a person’s treatment is performed on the neck skin, they will get some of the benefits of a neck lift but without having gone through any type of surgery. This is a great option for individuals who are just starting to see loose skin and wrinkles on their neck. It is also appropriate for individuals who already have moderate wrinkles. Of course, the type of results that you get after just one treatment will be based on a variety of things, especially the extent of damage that you have already sustained because of the aging process.

The treatment can be performed on different parts of the body in order to make the area look more youthful. Any place where a breakdown of collagen is starting to cause wrinkles can benefit from this amazing treatment.

Before you read much further, you may be wondering about the safety of this treatment. While you do not want to use surgery and you do not want to look old, you also are not likely interested in having a risky treatment performed. The first thing that you should know is that the machine that is used to perform Ultherapy® has been approved by the FDA. It has received this approval in order to perform a non-invasive brow lift and neck lift. It has also received approval from this organization to be used in order to improve lines and wrinkles in the upper chest area. 

We highly recommend that you do your due diligence and learn as much as you can about this treatment before deciding if it is right for you. We feel that this will boost your confidence before you visit us for your initial consultation. We would be happy to answer any questions that you have, but we do not want you just to take our word for it. Read more about it, and you will be impressed with its safety record.

The amazing thing about Ultherapy® is that individuals with all different circumstances, skin tones, and goals can benefit from this treatment. This is true no matter if they are interested in treating their brow, lower face, neck, upper chest area, or full face. Because the treatment is non-invasive, it can be used on individuals who have different skin tones. This is something that is impressive to many when you consider that many other cosmetic procedures and treatments are not right for certain individuals because of the potential of visible scarring or hyperpigmentation. The goal is to heat the deep layers of collagen in the skin. So the outer layers of the skin are left completely intact and undamaged.

Because of its non-invasive nature, individuals who have certain health problems that may disqualify them from a more invasive procedure are likely to qualify. If you are interested in improving your appearance but are concerned about a health issue that you have, please contact us. We are confident that this treatment can be used for individuals who are experiencing many different health problems but still want to have a youthful appearance.

What You Should Expect When You Visit Us

The first time you visit us, you are going to be able to enjoy a consultation where you meet with a medical professional who has received training in how to use the Ultherapy® machine. This visit is designed to answer all of the questions that you have about the treatment as well as make sure that it is the right option to help you meet your goals. This means that you will go through a short exam that involves examining the areas where you would like to have the treatment performed and discussing any health issues that you may be dealing with.

If it is determined that this is the right option to tighten your skin, it is likely that the treatment will be able to be done during the same visit. If you are using this therapy as a way to enjoy the benefits of a non-surgical neck lift, it is important to know that the results are not immediate. It takes some time for your skin to produce new collagen. Most of our clients start to see results in the weeks and months after the treatment is performed. The best results are usually seen multiple months after the treatment date. Over the next year, you are going to continue to see improvement.

If you like the way that you look with fewer wrinkles and healthier skin, you may be interested in having another non-surgical neck lift treatment with Ultherapy®. We usually recommend that our clients wait for a certain amount of time before they have another treatment. If a person wants to build on some improvements that they have already seen, it is possible for some people to have another treatment performed a certain amount of time after the initial treatment.

Contact Us to Learn More

One of the questions that we often hear is if it is better to have this treatment performed or if another non-surgical skin tightening methods would be a better option. We encourage you to learn as much as you can about all of the available treatments. As was mentioned above, this treatment uses ultrasound in order to accomplish its magic. We would be happy to discuss the pros and cons of each option with you as you make your decision. We have often found that this therapy is a better option when it is performed on a selected area like the neck.

We have just touched the surface when it comes to learning about how this treatment is performed and how it can benefit you. You are warmly invited to schedule a consultation at Old Town Med Spa to learn more. We would love to tell you about the benefits that you could receive using Ultherapy® for a non-surgical neck lift. We want to help you prevent wrinkles and treat the ones you already have. We want you to love your appearance when you look in the mirror, and we want others to respond to you in a positive way as well. Our treatments can help you to do just that. Contact us today to book an appointment at our office in Chicago. We look forward to speaking with you!

Plump Your Pout with Lip Augmentation

Lip Augmentation

If you want to add a little shape to your lips, then consider lip augmentation. This is a simple procedure that will give you the plump appearance that you desire in a short time. It can be performed in our office, which means that your day doesn’t need to be disturbed aside from the time spent at your appointment.

Before you get the plump look for your lips through an augmentation process, you need to know what kind of filler you want to get. A temporary filler will only last for a short time and might not give you the results that you want. However, a permanent implant is reversible as well, although the process is more complicated. If you’re unsure of how plump you want your lips to be, then a temporary filler would be the best option.

The technique that is used will often determine the size of your lips and how well the filler stays in place. Hyaluronic acid fillers are commonly used during lip augmentations. This is a substance that is already found in your body, making it a good option for enhancing the appearance of your lips. When you have lip augmentation performed, you’ll get the shape and structure that you desire, which is beneficial if you have thin lips or those that are of an uneven size. If you’re getting temporary fillers, you can expect the results to last about six months. During this time, if you are completely satisfied with the way your lips look, you may decide to opt for a lip implant. There’s not a lot of bruising with the procedure, and you can usually go back to doing what you want the same day.

When you arrive at the office, you’re greeted by a nurse who will take you to a room where the procedure will be completed. The filler is slowly injected to the fullness that you discussed with your doctor beforehand. To be on the safe side, we usually inject a small amount of filler at each appointment until your lips are where you want them to be. This helps us avoid overfilling your lips. You can usually put ice on the area to keep any swelling to a minimum. A follow-up appointment is usually made so our doctor can ensure the lip augmentation is successful.

To learn more about the options that you have to get the plump look you desire with lip augmentation, feel free to visit Old Town Med Spa in Chicago, IL. Contact us today to schedule your consultation!

Achieve Your Ideal Body with Liposuction

Liposuction

Your appearance says so much about you. It not only tells other people things about who you are, but it also impacts the way that you see yourself. If you struggle with what you see looking back at you in the mirror, it is going to affect your self-confidence. When a person’s self-confidence is affected by their appearance, everyone can tell. Fortunately, liposuction may be a tool that can help you regain your self-confidence.

The Best Candidates for Liposuction

Liposuction is a well-known procedure. Unfortunately, what people think they know about the procedure and the reality of what the procedure actually does are miles apart. Because of how popular the procedure is in the media, people think that it is a procedure that’s used by individuals who are obese and are looking to bring themselves down to a healthier size.

This is not true. It is designed for individuals who are at or close to their healthy body weight but are struggling to remove fat from stubborn areas on their body.

If you are battling with losing stubborn fat, you know firsthand where these stubborn areas are located. We are talking about your love handles, fat on your back, fat behind your arms, and fat underneath your chin. No matter how strenuously you diet or how hard you exercise, there is almost nothing that you can do to remove fat from those stubborn areas.

What makes matters worse is that if you are dieting and exercising but you’re not seeing the results you want, it negatively affects your self-esteem. It can lead to you asking yourself: Why am I working so hard but still not seeing the results that I want to see?

What liposuction does is pinpoint those pockets of fat that you have been fighting with and literally removes them from your body. It is a body contouring procedure. The goal is to help get rid of that extra fat and give you the body shape that you have always wanted.

How Does Liposuction Work?

During your initial consultation with us, we will be happy to go into detail about how liposuction can work for you. Basically, the procedure involves skillfully removing the fat from the preselected “trouble” areas.

There is a reason why liposuction has been used by millions of individuals around the globe. It has worked for them, and it may work for you! If you would like to learn more about this cosmetic surgical procedure, book an appointment at Old Town Med Spa in Chicago. Contact our office today to schedule your consultation and get started!

When is a Neck Lift the Best Option?

Neck Lift

You’ve probably heard of a number of cosmetic procedures that enhance your appearance. A neck lift or neck tightening are procedures to consider that can help to address that sagging skin that you see around your neck. This is a beneficial procedure for many people, especially those who have lost a significant amount of weight or those who see lines and wrinkles due to aging.

There are very few treatments that you can use to help the appearance of the neck. Unfortunately, this is also one of the first areas of your body that is seen when you talk to someone. The only way that you’re going to be able to do anything about the issues that are seen is by considering a neck lift or neck tightening. If you’re happy with your appearance, then this might not be the best option. It’s usually a procedure that is performed on those who are self-conscious about how they look or who have significant lines and wrinkles that tend to become more pronounced over time.

A benefit of a neck lift or neck tightening is that it can help to fix the double chin that you might have. A double chin is simply excess fat that is located underneath your chin, giving the appearance that you might have two chins instead of one. It’s something that many people are embarrassed to have but learn to live with over time. You might notice that you have a double chin after you gain weight. Another reason as to why you might notice a double chin would be if the neck is shorter than average or if the muscles underneath the chin are weak.

You would be a good candidate for a neck lift or neck tightening if you have a jawline that isn’t as defined as you would like. As you get older, you begin to lose the definition in your face and along your jawline, which can give the appearance of sagging and more wrinkles. During a neck lift or neck tightening, the jowls, chin, and neck can all be addressed.

Set up a time to visit Old Town Med Spa to learn more about the benefits associated with a neck procedure and how you can get the neck that you’ll enjoy looking at in the mirror. We have a number of tools at our disposal for a non-surgical neck lift, including Sculptra®, BOTOX®, and Ultherapy®. Contact us today to book a consultation in Chicago and get started!
