Introduction
Under normal circumstances, Ultherapy mainly works by using focused ultrasound waves to stimulate collagen contraction and regeneration in the subcutaneous tissue. The general reference price for Ultherapy is 10,000 to 30,000 yuan per session. Most people will see noticeable improvement within 1 to 6 months, although the exact timeframe varies from person to person. It is recommended to maintain skin cleanliness, avoid contact with water, and appropriately hydrate and protect the skin from sun exposure.
Generally, Ultherapy mainly works by using focused ultrasound waves to stimulate collagen contraction and regeneration in the subcutaneous tissue. The usual reference price for Ultherapy is 10,000-30,000 yuan per session. Most people start to see results after 1-2 weeks, although the exact timing varies from person to person. A detailed explanation is as follows:
Immediately after the procedure, there may be a slight tightening sensation due to thermal-induced collagen contraction, but this is a temporary reaction. Most people gradually notice improved skin elasticity and slightly tightened jawline contours within 1-2 weeks post-procedure. More noticeable improvements typically appear 1-3 months after the treatment, as new collagen continues to proliferate and remodeling occurs, enhancing skin support. Some older individuals with significant collagen loss may require 3-6 months to achieve optimal results.
Individual differences significantly influence the time required to see results. Younger individuals with stronger skin repair capabilities and faster collagen regeneration tend to see earlier results. In contrast, people over 50 years old or those with poorer skin conditions may require a longer time frame due to reduced collagen reserves.
It is recommended to undergo the procedure at a reputable hospital under the guidance of a qualified physician. Maintaining proper skin hydration, sun protection, and avoiding excessive熬夜 (staying up late) after the treatment can help reduce skin damage and promote collagen synthesis, thereby indirectly shortening the time required to see visible results.
Routine skin cleansing, avoiding contact with water, and appropriate hydration and sun protection measures are also important to prevent skin damage and shorten the time needed to achieve results.
