How much time do you put into the way you look every day? While this number is different for everyone, investing some time into your appearance can really help you to go out into the world more confidently and feel better about yourself. I started going to spas and salons a few months back, and it was really nifty to see how many services they offered that could really improve my life. I decided that it would be incredible to work with other people to teach them about spas and salons, since they can make you feel renewed and refreshed.

Need A Facelift? Have You Heard About The Ultherapy Non-Surgical Alternative?
Lena Griffin
If you have some facial sagging and have been considering getting a facelift, then ultherapy is a great, non-invasive alternative you should check out. If the term "ultherapy" is new to you, then below is everything you need to know before speaking to your local spa about this revolutionary non-surgical procedure:
Ultherapy Procedure Basics
As you age, it is completely natural for the skin on your face and neck to slowly start to sag. The root cause of the sagging is a lack of collagen production, which becomes progressively more of a problem as each year passes.
The ultherapy procedure uses targeted heat from ultrasonic waves to promote the growth of new collagen. As new collagen is produced, it will naturally tighten up your sagging skin.
Multiple Ultherapy Sessions are Required for Maximum Results
Unfortunately, ultherapy requires multiple sessions over a few months' time to be the most effective. Typically, the treatments are performed once each month over about a half of a year.
Pain and Discomfort from Ulterapy Sessions?
Even though the ultherapy sessions are surgery-free and non-invasive, they can come with some pain and discomfort. As the ultrasound wand is moved around on your skin, you can expect to feel a lot of heat. If you have a lot of dental work, when the procedure is performed over your cheeks and jaw you may feel a nervy, shooting sensation. This can be greatly reduced by asking your practitioner to place some gauze between your teeth and cheeks beforehand.
Frequently, dermatologists who perform ultherapy will offer you a mild sedative or pain medication to take just prior to the procedure. Take the medication. It will help you relax better during the procedure and will help with any discomfort or pain you may experience.
What to Expect in the Days Following Ultherapy Treatments
In the days following ultherapy treatments, you can expect to see some minor swelling and redness on your skin. While the redness and swelling will be much less than it would be from a traditional facelift procedure, it can be a bit uncomfortable. Thankfully, you can treat any minor swelling at home using an ice pack.
Lastly, you can also expect to have some minor numbing on your skin where it came into contact with the ultrasound wand. This is due to swelling just under the surface, and it will soon dissipate.
