Lift your eyebrows without any surgeries – Is Ultherapy the best alternative facelift?

One will have multiple options these days when it is about lifting eyebrow or eyelids. While most of the people used to go for surgical treatments, but over the past few years, the nonsurgical procedures have become more popular.   

 

The non-surgical procedure may include injections like Botox and dermal fillers, which have proven to be very effective so far. The exact eye treatment you choose depends completely on your condition and the overall health condition and budget. For example, treatment for eye bag removal may not be identical to the eye dark circles removal.

 

Nonsurgical eyelid lift and their costs

 

• Dermal fillers are injectables that use skin-contouring solutions to fill up the wrinkles near the eye area. The treatment won’t take more than a few minutes and there will be no downtime. The cost may depend on the brand image and the area it is going to cover, but it may cost between S$900- S$1200 per syringe.

• Botox is another example of cosmetic injections, which can smoothen fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing the muscles. The results will be quicker than the dermal fillers, but you will have to continue the procedure after every 3-6 months to retain the effects. Botox is charged by the units and it may cost S$500 on an average.

• PRP or Platelet-Rich Plasma is another type of cosmetic injection that helps to moisturize the skin. But unlike dermal fillers or Botox treatment, PRP will use your blood and then will inject it back to your body. If you are looking to use PRP for eyebrow or eyelid treatment, it may cost around S$950 per syringe.

• Apart from these, you can also choose laser treatment or Radiofrequency treatment and the very effective Ultherapy treatment.

 

Can you consider Ultherapy as the best nonsurgical alternative of a facelift?

 

Fast facts

 

Ultherapy is a completely nonsurgical ultrasound technology-based treatment that is used to regenerate the collagen production and firm the skin. The process focuses on heat energy to lift the skin on the neck, face, and chest by increasing the elasticity.

 

Ultherapy is completely safe for treatments like noninvasive eyebrow lift, noninvasive neck and chin lift, and improving fine lines and wrinkles.

The entire procedure may last from 30 to 90 minutes depending on your skin condition. There will be no incisions made, so you don’t have to prepare for anything and no anesthesia will be needed. One of the best parts of Ultherapy is that there will be no recovery time.

 

Ultherapy treatment may cost around S$2500, but 65% of the patients who went through this procedure have got better results in 60 to 180 days. Another study shows that more than 67% of the patients had noticed the change after 45 to 60 days.

 

Ultherapy: How does it work?

 

Ultrasound energy is used in target different areas beneath the skin while controlling the temperature to boost collagen production. The heat energy is sent through the applicators that affect three layers,

 

• Skin
• Muscle
• Superficial wrinkles

 

The ultrasound heatwave stimulates collagen to increase the elasticity of the tissue muscles, which results in firmer, less saggy, and wrinkle-free skin.

 

Ultherapy procedure mainly target three areas,

 

• Face
• Neck
• Chest

 

But you can customize the treatment and target some other areas as well, such as

 

• Eyebrows
• Chin
• Décolletage

 

Ultherapy: Side effects
