Jowls. It’s one of the most common things that people
come to Vancouver Laser and Skin Care Centre to
discuss. Nearly everyone that walks in our door is
looking to firm up their jawline and stay ahead of
the aging process. While dermal filler is a very
useful tool to lift and support facial contours,
there’s still the issue of the skin itself. Over
time, the skin loses firmness, elasticity, and that
youthful bounce back quality. So what can you do? In
this case, heat is your friend! Or more specifically,
ultrasound with Ultherapy. Ultherapy is a
non-surgical treatment that focuses the heat in the
deepest layers of the skin which generates
an initial tightening effect, as well as new
collagen production that continues for the next 6
months! Not only does it help reverse the aging
process but you’re investing in your future and aging
gracefully. Our ability to produce new collagen takes
a dip after age 50 so the younger we start these
treatments, the better the outcome, which is why so
many clients are coming into our clinic in their 20’s
and 30’s.
Think of Ultherapy like Exercise:
One
of the simplest ways to relate to treatments like
Ultherapy is to think in terms of exercise. Our
bodies need regular exercise and a healthy diet in
order to perform optimally and serve us well into
old age. While it's never too late to
implement a healthy diet and exercise regimen, the
people that make it part of their lifestyle from a
relatively young age will have an
advantage. Having healthy skin is equally
important. Without the right topical nutrients and
the occasional 'controlled injury' to stimulate
collagen and elastin, our skin won't look as
refreshed and radiant as it could.
Ulthera allows us
to customize treatments based on your specific
needs with little to no recovery time. It's
definitely a favourite amongst our staff because
we're aging too. We'd be happy to talk to you about
our personal experiences with Ultherapy and help
you understand if Ulthera is right for
you.
