Dr. Sheena Kong appears in this video on KGO 7 News to show how Ultherapy may be the best skin tightening treatment in the San Francisco Bay Area for women and men who don’t want or need plastic surgery. Dr. Kong says there are 3 ways that Ultherapy can help anyone with sagging skin to look more attractive. “First, Ultherapy is a non-surgical treatment. Also, just one treatment session s usually required. Finally, there is no downtime required after Ultherapy so people can go back to their normal activities.”
“Ultherapy uses a form of ultrasound, a technology that many women experience while they’re pregnant,” says Dr. Kong. “Ultrasound has allowed millions of parents to view their babies during pregnancy and now ultrasound energy can tighten skin with just one treatment in most cases,” says Dr. Kong. “No surgery or lasers are required. “Ultherapy rejuvenates the skin on the face and neck for what amounts to a non-surgical facelift.”
“The ultrasound energy stimulates the growth of new collagen deep within the skin. Ultherapy is the only non-surgical procedure that which has received FDA approval to lift skin on the neck, chin and brow,” says Dr. Kong. “Just one treatment is required in most cases,” she says.
“Ultherapy works by sending targeted pulses of ultrasound energy into the skin, delivering heat at a certain depth which allows the new collagen to lift the skin upward. Best results are seen over the course of several months as new collagen is formed and the skin gradually tightens, all without downtime.”
In the TV story Kathi, a management coach who sometimes works with younger clients says she’s become concerned with signs of aging on her own face.”It’s the downward pull of gravity,” she says. Dr. Kong comes in the room, marks Kathi’s face and performs the Ultherapy treatment with the camera rolling.The treatment is soon completed, and Kathi can return to her regular schedule. She says the trade-off of waiting as results continue to improve over time for a non-invasive procedure is reasonable rather than undergoing a surgical procedure.”The technology of ultrasound is easy to me to understand,” she says. “The treatment is simple enough to go through.”
