From Jennifer Lopez to Naomi Campbell, the lifting without surgery and other anti-aging treatments of the famous
Paz Torralba, director of the Ritz hotel spa: "For a business to succeed, you have to sweep and mop, you can't just delegate"
That
celebrities
turn every beauty treatment or trick they touch into gold is a fact.
Some are really crazy or even barbaric that we strongly recommend
not to do at home,
because they can be dangerous -like the tagline of the program 'Forged in fire'-.
Instead, other beauty secrets confirm that
a treatment or technology
is
truly effective.
And that is the case of the protocols with
Ultherapy,
a
Merz Aesthetics
technology that is accompanied by the surname, confirmed by the
FDA
(Food and Drug Administration of the United States government) of
lifting without surgery or non-invasive lifting.
To date, this anti-
aging treatment
, which, attention, can only be performed by
an expert doctor
in aesthetic medicine clinics, has more than
2 million successes
around the world.
From Merz they confirm that, since 2015, when
Jennifer Aniston
confessed in the American magazine InStyle that she loved Ultherapy, the actress repeats the protocol every year.
As a partner in the series 'Friends' and a friend today,
Courtney Cox
is also a user of this facial rejuvenation technique.
And, at The Beauty Concept, in Madrid,
Eugenia Silva
has just repeated.

The secrets of Ultherapy in facial rejuvenation: what it is and what results it achieves
Ultherapy is the only
non-invasive medical-aesthetic treatment
for the
rejuvenation, lifting
and remodeling of
the face, gaze, neck and décolletage
with FDA approval as a
non-invasive lifting.
What does this mean?
Well, basically it treats
sagging and sagging of the face and neck,
those effects that age has on the facial oval due to the loss and
degradation of collagen
that occurs naturally over time.
In fact, with
a single session,
a flash effect
is perceived ,
although the optimal results are achieved after
two or three months,
when the collagen has been gradually
formed,
tightening and lifting the skin on the face, the look, the neck and softening the lines of the neckline.
This almost magical global rejuvenation, since it does not require surgery or an arduous post-treatment (it is a '
lunch time procedure'
as the Americans say, with a
good face effect)
, is achieved through
high intensity
microfocused ultrasound
, which they apply intense heat (60º - 70ºC) in the subcutaneous layers of the skin, but
leaving the superficial layers intact.
It is accompanied by an
ultrasound control
visualization system that allows locating the area and the exact depth of the skin to be treated.

The application of heat through ultrasound achieves
neocollagenesis
(generation of new collagen) in the deepest layers of the skin, which, when healing as a defense against high temperatures
, contract the tissues,
guaranteeing
firm, smooth and more luminous skin.
All this has made it, for example, the
most requested medical treatment
at The Beauty Concept centers during 2021.
The complete protocol consists of the following steps:
The
skin is thoroughly cleaned and
topical anesthesia
is applied
to make it highly comfortable.
After 30 minutes, the anesthesia is removed and the specific
ultrasound gel for
the treatment is applied.
It is visualized
by ultrasound
to determine the
optimal location
for each shot.
Focused
ultrasound energy is applied
below the surface of the skin.
During the treatment, it is normal to feel that the energy is deposited at precise depths, which will indicate the beginning of the collagen generation process.
In general, they say from Merz, it is completely
safe and painless
for the vast majority, although in some cases you may feel some discomfort in an isolated shot.
And, in terms of prices, it goes according to the areas to be treated, but the rates start
at 500 euros.
Specifically, at The Beauty Concept they have been performing Ultherapy (only with the help of an aesthetic doctor trained in this technology)
since 2017,
with a
personalized diagnosis
to analyze which areas are going to be treated, age, skin quality... The procedure in the face lasts between 60 and 90 minutes while localized treatments (eyes, mouth, neckline, chest) approximately 30 minutes.
If we talk about the complete protocol (face, neck and décolletage), 120 minutes.
In this Madrid center, its indicative prices range from 500 euros for the mouth and 600 for the look
to 2,900 for the full face and neck.

Doctors speak: the secret to Ultherapy's success
Although celebrities like
Jennifer Aniston and Eugenia Silva
do Ultherapy, and repeat -and they are not the only ones, in Spain also
Belén Rueda, Maribel Verdú, Nieves Álvarez or Juana Acosta-,
aesthetic doctors and experts in the field also ratify why This facelift without surgery is so popular.
For
Paz Torralba,
director of The Beauty Concept, it is "a powerful ultrasound technology whose task of
lifting, tightening and toning
stimulates the formation of collagen in very deep layers of the skin, leaving the surface intact. It is also the only treatment in whose definition the FDA authorizes to use the word lifting as a result of the treatment since it is conceived as
a lifting without surgery".
The three reasons
why Dr. Beatriz Beltrán loves Ultherapy are: "because it is a non-invasive treatment that
does not leave any type of mark;
because it allows the oval to be redefined
without changing the
facial expression, it is a regenerative and totally natural treatment, and
one session is enough
to see results."
Juanma Revellés
is a dermatologist at the Ricart Medical Institute and chooses this protocol because the approval of Ultyherapy as a facelift without surgery by the FDA is already
an accreditation
that provides greater safety and guarantee of treatment.
"It therefore allows
a facelift to be done in installments
that little by little and in a preventive way will work so that we do not have to resort to a surgical option", she underlines.
In addition, Revellés highlights
the safety of the treatment,
"because having a live ultrasound visualization allows us to know which structures we are treating and therefore we will not damage important structures and at the same time we can see where we are shooting to
maximize the efficiency of the treatment".
Ultherapy, by Merz, combines focused ultrasound with the precision of an ultrasound scanner to rejuvenate and firm the face, neck, décolleté...
And there is more.
Marta García,
dermatologist and medical promoter of the Ricart Medical Institute, Ultherapy has no equal in terms of
natural and long-lasting results,
so it is not surprising that it is the fashionable treatment that celebrities perform once a year to combat flaccidity before that it goes further, not to mention that
it can be combined with other treatments.
An Ultherapy user experience: "I looked like I was 20 years old"
Ultherapy is not the exclusive domain of celebrities.
It's not just for women.
Eduardo (57 years old) has just had his first session to treat aging and lack of firmness
in the eye area.
The protocol was quick, 10 minutes,
"it didn't hurt at all,
they applied an anesthetic cream to me first -and you know that men are more cowardly when it comes to physical pain-".
His session consisted of 80 ultrasound shots after having put a gel in the area so that the ultrasound machine glided easily.
The result?
"She looked like she was 20 years old."
