Sandi Bachom, 69, a filmmaker and producer in Manhattan, tried Ultherapy and loves it for keeping away inevitable wrinkles. She had tried Botox earlier because she feared invasive procedures. Now she’s a big fan of Ultherapy.
Key takeaways:
- Ultherapy is a procedure through which ultrasound waves are sent through skin to give it a lift. The effects of several sessions of ultherapy can last two years.
- The procedure is a fifteen-minute undertaking that is a bit uncomfortable. However, there are no incidences of peeling, bruising and even the needle marks.
- Ultherapy is safe but is not recommended for people with skin conditions, cold sores, pacemakers, and for thin people since ultherapy kills fat cells.
