Can Ultherapy Be Used Under Eyes? | Facts About Ultherapy Under Eyes

Ultherapy Under Eyes

Is your face making you look tired, older, or just plain worn out? Everyone’s face shows signs of aging differently, but that doesn’t mean that there’s nothing that can be done about it. At Flores Plastic Surgery in Miami, FL, our experts use an exciting modern technique known as Ultherapy under eyes. This can restore a youthful look to your face and under your eyes, it tighten skin that may be sagging.

What Is Ultherapy?

If you feel you may have heard of it before, you’re not alone. Ultherapy under eyes is a favorite treatment of multiple A-list celebrities, including Jennifer Aniston and Vanessa Williams. It triggers the body’s natural mechanisms to fight against sagging skin and maintain a “younger” look. Best of all, it allows patients to avoid treatments that might be considered more serious, such as facelifts or unpleasant surgeries. It accomplishes this by using ultrasound technology in order to stimulate the growth of collagen.

What Is Collagen?

Collagen is a particular protein that is necessary for your skin to keep its strength and shape. It already exists in your skin, but there may not be enough of it. Unfortunately, we lose collagen bit by bit as we age, and this contributes to our skin becoming looser.

By encouraging your body to make more collagen, Ultherapy under eyes  is able to undo some of the effects of aging. The results are more organic, which means that they are not instantaneous. However, these results are more natural-looking than many other options.

What Are the Main Benefits?

There are many treatment options on the market today, but Ultherapy under eyes has several qualities that make it stand out:

It’s Safe and FDA-Approved

Ultrasound energy has a strong foundation in the medical field, having been in use for over 50 years for a wide variety of uses. In fact, this technology is essentially the same as the ultrasounds that allow us to see developing pregnancies or give us images of someone’s inner organs. It helps us treat everything from kidney stones to heart conditions, and has helped doctors treat many patients without having to resort to surgical procedures.

In 2009, the FDA approved Ultherapy for skin tightening after a series of clinical trials that demonstrated it was safe for patients. Hundreds of thousands of treatments have been performed in the years since then.

It Uses a Non-Invasive Approach

Perhaps the most amazing thing about this treatment is that it manages to revitalize your skin from its lower layers without actually disturbing or damaging the surface of the skin. With the ultrasound technology, our specialists can see what layers of skin are being targeted, and make sure to focus treatment on the areas that most need it.

Results from this treatment are not as drastic as a facelift, and they are also not instantaneous. After treatment, it can take up to three months for the body to produce enough collagen to get ideal results (although you will notice a difference sooner than this). But these results can last for years, and they will also be achieved without surgery.

It Is Fast

The treatment itself is very quick, especially compared to most surgeries. One short session typically lasts for anywhere form 60-90 minutes, and sometimes less, depending on the areas being treated. This makes it ideal for professionals who have a busy schedule or anyone who can’t afford to take a lot of time off for both the appointment and a lengthy recovery.

Depending on your reaction to the treatment, it may be useful to schedule more than one session to encourage the best results. This is determined on a case-by-case basis, however. Most patients only require one session. Follow-up treatments are usually recommended after a year in order to maintain the best levels of skin strength and collagen. Each appointment is quick, so you can get back to your day right away.

It Has a Quick Recovery

Another of the favorite selling points of this treatment is the fact that you can do all of it without having to go through a complicated “recovery period.” Surgical facelifts require a certain amount of downtime while the patient heals, but with Ultherapy, you can resume your daily activities without having to go through follow-up treatments or wait for a long time in the process.

How Does Ultherapy Under Eyes Work?

This treatment is different from other forms of skin tightening. Unlike lasers (which penetrate the skin) or surgeries (which cut the skin), Ultherapy under eyes will bypass the outer layers of your skin and deliver ultrasound energy about 4mm under the skin. This allows us to treat the lower layers that produce collagen directly, without disturbing the skin’s surface.

The session usually takes between an hour and ninety minutes to complete. During this time, your provider will also use ultrasound imaging to make sure that the energy is being focused in the right place.

In the following weeks and months, your body will begin to grow fresh collagen at a higher rate than normal. The result: smooth skin that isn’t lax and loose, but firmer and younger-looking, and all without surgery.

Can Ultherapy Treat Under the Eyes?

Baggy eyes and dark circles can be especially frustrating for many people, so it’s understandable that many patients want to know if this breakthrough can be used to correct them. Some providers have advertised their success with using Ultherapy for under eyes; however, the skin in this area is delicate, so it can be more challenging than treating other regions.

While this treatment might be able to address the area around the eyes, it is not recommended for treating skin color. Dark pigment on the skin, for instance, will not be changed this way, so if dark circles are a result of the surface of the skin, then another approach will be necessary. If you want to know more about treating baggy or puffy eyes, call our office today, and we will be happy to discuss your personal goals. Our office has many tools at its disposal.

Steps In Your Treatment Process

The first step in a treatment process is typically an in-person consultation with someone on our staff. This will help us to understand your personal aesthetic goals as well as go over your medical history.

What Happens in a Personal Consultation?

During your consultation, you should feel free to ask any questions about this treatment or any others we offer. Our top priority is making sure that you are completely satisfied. If you are taking any medications, we can make sure that these will not conflict with treatment. We will also be able to get a sense of your individual skin type and what sort of treatment approach is best for you.

The Ultrasound Session

A treatment session will usually last between 60 and 90 minutes. They can be as short as 30 or as long as 180 minutes, but this depends on what areas are being treated. If you are treating multiple areas, it may take longer, but in the case of a chest treatment, often only a half-hour is needed.

During treatment, our medical experts will direct ultrasound energy into the lower levels of your skin. The entire process is controlled by someone in the room, so if you have any questions or concerns during the treatment, it is possible to change the intensity or talk to someone. It is not a treatment that is left on “autopilot” but is highly controlled, and our staff is available every step of the way.

How Long Until You See Results?

Because not everyone has the same skin type, it is not always possible to predict how quickly results will appear. Some patients report seeing slight effects within a day, and for others, it takes longer. In the first few days after treatment, many patients start to notice some lift has been added to their skin. This is a good sign that the process has begun and that new collagen is being produced.

Because collagen growth is a continual process, the full results will appear after a period of 2-3 months. During this time, the body will replace the worn-out collagen with the freshly stimulated collagen. By the end of three months, your skin should have a significantly noticeable improvement.

How Long Do These Results Last?

This improvement lasts for quite some time, as the collagen will stay in the skin for 2-3 years after the initial session. All the same, the skin will continue to age, and it may begin to lose its ideal form after the first year. This is dependent on many factors, including the individual patient and personal biological responses to the treatment.

Although one treatment is all that is needed for most people to start the process, after a year, most people will find a maintenance treatment is necessary in order to keep the best results.

When you have a session with us, we will work with you closely to make sure that the process has started and that you are getting the best results possible. After your initial session, we will work with you over the following years, in order to make sure that you continue to experience your best collagen growth.

Are You a Candidate?

People who are ideal for this treatment will typically be seeing an unwanted change in their skin. They will notice increasing laxity and will be aiming to tighten their skin without surgery. Common treatment areas include the chin, cheeks, neck, buttocks, chest, and stomach. While individual results may vary, most of our guests notice optimal results after two or three months as the new collagen becomes integrated into their skin.

If you are interested in anti-aging, minimally-invasive treatments, then you may very well be an ideal candidate.

Call for a Consultation

For many people, lax or loose skin can be a major aesthetic concern. It can make us look older than we actually are or give the impression that we are unhealthy in some other way. In reality, the cause can be as simple as the natural aging process. Fortunately, with Ultherapy, there is a fantastic new option on the market that can restore your youthful look in an organic and non-invasive way.

If you’ve notice a change in the quality of your skin, but you don’t want to go through the hassle and recovery process from a facelift, Ultherapy may be just what the doctor ordered. A quick session can lead to lasting results, and your skin will be rejuvenated for years to come.

Are you interested to learn more about this amazing treatment option? We are here to answer any questions you might have, and make sure that you are completely satisfied every step of the way. Call the experts at Flores Plastic Surgery in Miami, FL, today!

Couldn't be HAPPIER - LOWER BODY LIFT AND BREAST LIFT W/O IMPLANTS

by BARBARA M.

Jul15,2021

I was referred to Dr. Flores by another plastic surgeon who is amazing. However, he was honest enough to say that what I needed was best being done by Dr. Flores as he was the best in what I needed. I thought what I needed what a tummy tuck and in fact he told me I needed a lower body lift. Therefore, I went ahead scheduled the appointment and the day of my appointment I was a little concerned as I had never met. I finally met him and his staff and let me tell you he's AMAZING!!! Answers all your concerns with such patience and shows so much caring! I didn't hesitate to schedule my surgery. Results could not be any better and would not hesitate to refer him to my friends as he's truly an artist. His office team are great! If I could give me 100 STARS i would not hesitate.

Forever grateful to Dr Flores and his amazing staff!

by Natasha Santamarina

Apr16,2021

There are not enough stars on this review for me to show my appreciation for Dr. Flores and his amazing staff! I have been his patient since 2014, when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer. He is an amazing person, and the best plastic surgeon! After having my double mastectomy, Dr. Flores did an amazing job with my reconstruction. After having a recurrence with cancer, he has been by my side every step of the way, and making sure all my needs were met. I am beyond happy with my breast reconstruction and hands down can say that Dr Flores and his wonderful staff have been a beacon of hope for me. He is by far the BEST plastic surgeon in Miami, and I will recommend him and his practice hands down every time !! Thank you for all you have down for me, I am forever grateful!

I am so glad that Doctor Flores and his staff were in my corner to help me become whole again after my double mastectomy and reconstruction. My husband is happy too. His office staff was so accommodating and caring. He did such a good job that I decided to have him do my face too. I left his office feeling like a part of the family and looking 15 years younger!

Breast Reduction w/ lift

by Kendra McCray

Apr 1,2019

Dr Flores and his team did a breast reduction w/lift on Nov 9, 2018. The process leading up, during, and afterward has been nothing short of amazing. I’m currently almost 5 months post op from having my surgery and I feel and look great. My incision (lollipop incision) is barely noticeable and I’ve received several compliments on how good by new breast look. I had eight consultations in my home town before finding out about Dr Flores. I took a chance and came to Miami FL to have my procedure done and I recommend a lot of people who are considering it to look into his work.

Above and Beyond Expectations

by Suhaill Blanco

There are no words to describe Dr. Flores or enough stars to rate him. During my reconstruction Flore went beyond my expectations as a doctor. He was knowledgeable about all options for breast reconstruction surgery, took his time in explaining the process and the benefits of each options. During each surgery he personally came to see. He was always there and had lots of patience! In addition, his staff is outstanding! Always friendly and willing to assist. Flores has been a blessing in my life, he brought sunshine in my darkest time.

I have had numerous surgeries performed by Dr. Flores. He was extremely attentive to all my concerns. He was always very kind and professional. He is also one of the hardest working doctors I know. His integrity is impeccable. Dr. Flores truly cares for his patients and went out of his way to assure my surgery and healing process was successful. Surgery can be such a frightening experience but I felt very safe in Dr Flores hands. I have and will continue to refer my family and friends to Dr. Flores.

Refreshed and Renewed in my 40's

by Maylynn Menoud

Apr12,2018

Dr. Rivera is a meticulous surgeon with an artist's eye and a skilled hand. She is very professional and attentive. She has made every process super comfortable and made me feel relaxed and kept me informed every step of the way with my Botox injections, Ultherapy skin tightening treatment and the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photorejuvenation treatments. After 2 treatments my skin looks entirely different and I can't wait to finish my last three appts so my skin will look transformed. Dr. Rivera’s staff is absolutely wonderful and they make you feel like family every time you come to the office. I absolutely love my results so far! I look refreshed and natural and I have had people ask me what I am doing to make my skin look so good! I would highly recommend Dr. Rivera and Flores Plastic Surgery to all of my friends and family.

Love what I see!

by Ana Cruz

Apr10,2018

Dr. Rivera is amazing! I had been fearful of injectables because I don't like the shiny plastic expressionless look I have seen on others who swear by Botox and fillers. My results were very natural and everyone tells me I look rested. Dr. Rivera used Botox on my forehead and crows feet and filler in my marionette lines and fine lines around my lips. The results are great. Her being a surgeon is definitely a plus. Her precision is remarkable!

latissimus dorsi flap and fat grafting

by Morena Sandri

Feb24,2018

I do not know where to start, but it is so important that women that went through my experience are inspired and if they read this, they are confident to take my journey. Dr. Flores took me under his wings after so many consults and initial surgeries with so many doctors. Nothing worked. After My double mastectomy and radiations no implant was able to stay in. Dr.Flores took his time to have a complicated tailor made surgery so I could have a real breast again. I had my surgery on Jan 2nd and I have a new life. I have a soft round beautiful D cup and I am so happy. I needed to have a great body to support such fabolous boobies so I started a diet, bought new clothes, got new makeup and hairdo. I feel like a woman again. Thank you Dr. Flores because you gave me a new life.. Thank you to the fantastic Jodi that is the angel next to Dr. Flores and to all the beautiful and compassionate assistants in the office.
