See Before And After Pictures

Juvederm Volbella is a safe, well-known, and effective cosmetic filler injection treatment to improve lip appearance and enhance peri-oral areas. During the initial consultation for this facial rejuvenation procedure, the treatment provider will discuss various aspects with the patient and may also present Juvederm Volbella before and after photos.

The first goal of the treatment provider will be to educate the patient about their treatment options and the related pros and cons so that they can make an informed choice. Board certified plastic surgeons at the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS) provide Juvederm Volbella to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding communities.

What are Juvederm Volbella Before and After Images?

Before and after images in case of Juvederm Volbella refer to a set of pictures belonging to a previous patient who has undergone the same injection procedure with a successful outcome. The pictures include images taken prior to the treatment and after the treatment at a stage when the initial redness and swelling has been resolved and full effects of the treatment are visible.

ACPS currently does not have images for this exactly treatment on their website but this does not mean they cannot be uploaded at any time. You can ask to see images for this treatment during the consultation. The consultation must be scheduled anyway so the right information can be disclosed.

The injection provider will take care to ensure that the pictures are obtained with the full consent of the patient and are presented before new patients in an appropriate manner. The patient’s identity may be kept confidential according to the standard protocol. The provider’s sole purpose in this exercise is to use the photos as a visual aid to explain the potential effectiveness of Juvederm Volbella to new patients.

Benefits

When a new patient plans to receive a dermal filler injection procedure such as Juvederm Volbella for the first time, they may have concerns about how the treatment will affect their appearance of the lips and surrounding areas. The patient will want to feel reassured that the treatment can meet their personal cosmetic goals and needs.

Some patients may need only limited treatment to improve definition of the lips, while some others may also need reduction in the fine lines around the mouth using Volbella injections. In each case, the patient is better placed to make the right decision when they have access to Juvederm Volbella before and after photos.

Staying Realistic

It’s vital for the patient to recognize that Juvederm Volbella is only a non-surgical aesthetic treatment with a narrow focus on improving the shape of lips and peri-oral area. Patients with realistic expectations will achieve higher satisfaction levels in the end, and feel happier with their enhanced look of the face and mouth.

Therefore, an experienced dermal filler provider will prefer to show Juvederm Volbella before and after photos at the time of initial consultation. This will help the patient to underatand what this injectable procedure can or cannot do for them.

Online Images

The injection provider can educate a wider audience about the benefits of Juvederm Volbella by disseminating before and after photos online. If the dermatologist is active on social media, they may consider posting the pictures via photo sharing social sites such as Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest to generate more awareness.

The novel aspect about digital images is that they offer a clarity that enables someone to easily project what they see and apply it to their own body. Digital images has been a huge breakthrough for plastic surgeons and every industry for that matter.

Volbella Dermal Filler

Juvederm Volbella is an FDA approved, non-surgical cosmetic injectable procedure to increase fullness of the lips and mitigate the appearance of fine lines around the lips. The treatment can successfully enhance the patient’s pout and make the mouth appear more attractive.

During the initial consultation, the injection provider will discuss all aspect of the treatment, including its expected longevity of results. Board certified plastic surgeons at the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS) provide Juvederm Volbella to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding communities.

Cosmetic Benefits

Juvederm Volbella XC is specially developed to enhance the appearance of lips and mitigate lines around the mouth. The fine, vertical lines around the lips, which are commonly called smoker’s lines, can be removed with Volbella. It also treats oral commissures, which are the points where the corners of the mouth turn down.

Volbella will improve natural lip definition and enhance lip contour by accentuating the outline of the lips. It also addresses marionette lines which appear from the corners of the mouth, down to the chin. Maintenance and cost of future injections is limited with Volbella due to its superior longevity.

Vycross Technology

Juvederm Volbella is produced by Allergan, Inc., which owns the proprietary filler technology called Vycross. Juvederm Volbella is formulated with Vycross, which is designed to create smoother results that last longer. Vycross blends different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, which is the key ingredient in Volbella filler gel.

The uniquely engineered combination of molecular weights contributes to the gel’s sustainability. As a result, when the gel is injected in the deeper layers of the skin, it will not disintegrate quickly. Volbella uses lower concentrations of hyaluronic acid because it addresses soft and sensitive areas in and around the lips. But even with this lower concentration, it still provides longer lasting results due to Vycross technology.

Due to the longer lasting formula of Volbella, patients can continue to enjoy the results for up to one year. Future maintenance costs are reduced, and Volbella proves to be more cost-effective in the long run compared to several other fillers which will sustain for a shorter duration of up to six months even with a higher concentration of HA.

Study to Determine Efficacy and Longevity

Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of Juvederm Volbella XC. This includes a major US pivotal study where 168 subjects received Volbella treatment. The subjects were monitored for results and longevity in terms of lip fullness and smoothing of fine lines around the mouth.

The study found that about two-thirds of subjects treated with Volbella reported improvement in fullness of lips and reduction of peri-oral lines for a period of one year. The safety of the filler gel was also evaluated in the same study.

Common side effects included temporary responses at the injection sites, such as tenderness, swelling, bruising, redness, firmness, pain, itching and discoloration. Most of the side effects were resolved on their own within a month.

Cellulite can create unsightly skin appearance, and it is mostly very resistant to diet and exercise. More than 80 percent of American women above the age of 20 suffer from some degree of cellulite.
One of the safest and most effective minimally invasive treatments for cellulite is Cellfina. The FDA cleared this procedure for cellulite reduction in 2015, and since then thousands of patients have managed to achieve high levels of satisfaction with this safe and proven treatment.
Cellfina treatment involves the use of an innovative microblade technique to target stubborn cellulite in areas such as the thighs and buttocks. No surgery or general anesthesia is involved in this procedure.
Board certified plastic surgeons at the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery provide cellulite reduction treatments to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding locations.

Candidacy

Any adult who is struggling with cellulite appearance could be a good candidate for Cellfina non-surgical procedure. Most patients for this treatment are in the age group of 20 to 60. Ideal candidates will have minimal skin laxity in the areas of treatment, and will have a stable body weight.
Speak to your surgeon to determine if Cellfina may be the right treatment choice for you. During the initial consultation, your provider will also help you form realistic expectations about the potential benefits of Cellfina procedure.

How does Cellfina Cellulite Reduction Work?

Cellulite that creates dimply skin is best treated with Cellfina. The FDA has cleared this procedure for treating cellulite in the buttocks and thighs, but the surgeon may determine whether it will be useful to treat any other areas as well.
Dimples in the skin are caused by the presence of fibrous bands (connective tissue). Your skin is connected with the tissue beneath through these bands. Some part of the skin can get pulled in by these fibrous bands, which will cause the surrounding fat pockets to bulge. This will cause tiny depressions or cellulite dimples all over the area.
Cellfina uses a procedure called subcision to eliminate cellulite. Subcision technique may also be used to treat wrinkles and scars. The Cellfina device is the size of needle, and it can effectively treat the connective bands present just underneath your skin.

Procedure

The provider will first mark the affected areas where the cellulite dimples are identified. They will then administer a topical numbing solution to keep you comfortable through the treatment. Following this, your provider will use the Cellfina device to precisely insert a microblade beneath your skin.
The provider will use a stabilized-guided subcision technique along with a fanning motion in order to release the fibrous bands beneath your skin. The cellulite will bounce back with this technique. About 25 cellulite dimples can be treated in one sitting lasting for about an hour.

Results

You will be able to notice results in the treated sites in as little as three to four days. The cellulite reduction outcomes with this treatment can last for up to three years. A multi-center research study in the US involving 55 patients has shown that 98 percent of the patients achieved improvement with one Cellfina treatment and continued to maintain their results at two years after their procedure.
Cosmetic surgeons at ACPS receive patients from Houston, Texas, TX, and nearby areas for cellulite reduction treatments.

FUE/NeoGraft Hair Transplant For Both Men And Women

NeoGraft is an innovative automated hair transplant system that helps follicle harvesting during a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant. This dramatically enhances the accuracy and speed over previously used manual extraction devices.
As FUE/NeoGraft is minimally invasive, it is appropriate for both men and women seeking to restore their own living and growing hair via transplantation. Board certified plastic surgeons at the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery provide NeoGraft hair restoration to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding locations.

Male/Female Candidacy for FUE/NeoGraft

Ideal candidates for FUE include patients who wish to wear their hair short in the sides or back of their scalp or those who want minimal activity restriction (for instance, athletes) after their hair transplant procedure. On top of this, the NeoGraft FUE System is used for ‘scar camouflage’ procedures in patients who have had linear harvests in the past as well as for body hair transplants.
People who are in good overall health with moderate hair loss and adequate donor hair on the back of the scalp to transplant into the balding sites are good candidates for hair restoration surgery. Patients with greater hair density, more donor hair, and thickness can usually expect fuller outcomes.
Also, it is vital for patients to have realistic aesthetic goals. Hair transplantation offers excellent, natural outcomes but cannot restore the hair density to when a person was in their teens. The doctor will evaluate the level of coverage necessary for a specific patient to offer them the appearance that they seek.

NeoGraft – Frequently Asked Questions

How is NeoGraft performed?
NeoGraft makes use of controlled pneumatic pressure to slide the graft out in a smoother manner. This avoids pulling or twisting that can potentially damage the graft. The grafts can be re-planted sooner, which helps them remain stronger, creating a more natural looking hairline.
What is an “FUE” hair transplant?
“F.U.E.” or “Follicular-Unit Extraction” is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive transplant technique which enables the harvesting of individual follicles from the donor sites without any incisions or sutures. For this reason, this procedure does not leave any linear scars.
What are the advantages of NeoGraft over manual FUE techniques?
The NeoGraft system is highly ergonomic and works as a natural extension of the surgeons’ hand. This allows for quicker and more targeted harvesting of hair follicles. People undergoing the NeoGraft procedure achieve their goal with less time spent in the procedure room or altogether fewer FUE procedures.
How long will the hair last?
Hair transplantation does not put a stop to hair loss. Certain individuals will require continued management, and further sessions will likely be necessary, especially if the balding pattern continues with age.
The desire for higher hair density or progressive hair loss will warrant more transplants. During the initial consultation, the doctor will discuss facets such as an estimate of the balding pattern as well as the number of procedures required.
Do I have to get a total ‘buzz cut’ to have an FUE/NeoGraft procedure?
No, this is not necessary if a person wears their hair long. In case the donor hair is appropriately long, FUE/NeoGraft hair follicle harvesting can be done by shaving tiny areas, which can be covered by the existing hair. Wearing the hair short helps shave it close for maximum yield. It appears more natural quicker as the transplanted grafts are short as well.
Cosmetic surgeons at the ACPS receive patients from Houston, Texas, TX, and nearby areas for NeoGraft hair restoration procedure.

NeoGraft is an innovative new solution for women and men suffering from hair thinning or male/female pattern baldness, which is a condition that is often embarrassing and destructive to the confidence of those who suffer from it.
NeoGraft offers an effective treatment to restore thick, natural-looking hair using a minimally invasive technique that overcomes some of the most common limitations of current hair loss treatments available today.
NeoGraft is the first, and only Class One FDA listed automated medical instrument for the restoration of hair. The procedure involves the harvesting, collection, and implanting of hair follicle grafts with minimal downtime and discomfort.
Board certified plastic surgeons at the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS) provide NeoGraft treatment to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding communities.

Benefits of NeoGraft

NeoGraft has received FDA-approval, and it is the least invasive procedure available for hair transplantation.
Patients experience little to no discomfort, as the NeoGraft procedure does not involve sutures, staples, or scalpel incision.
The revolutionary technology behind NeoGraft enables it to leave no linear scar, which is an unwanted telltale sign of the strip method of hair transplantation.
The procedure does not cause any numbness in the location where donor hair is harvested. The recovery is fast, and a majority of patients can resume work the following day.
The outcomes appear natural.

NeoGraft is based on a non-invasive technology that enables patients to wear hair long or short as it does not leave behind any undesirable linear scar to hide.
This procedure is based on a revolutionary technology for donor hair extraction, called Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). This technique enables individual hairs to be removed in groups of one to four hairs and then placed in sites of baldness and thinning hair.
Before NeoGraft’s introduction, manual-extraction type hair transplants were time-consuming and labor-intensive. Patients had to undergo numerous surgeries to achieve their desired aesthetic results.
NeoGraft features an efficient automated system that enables the provider to double the number of grafts per session. For the patient, these means faster and more accurate hair follicle harvesting with less procedure time and/or FUE sessions.
NeoGraft also features the “No Touch” technique which avoids the use of forceps and preserves hair follicles against damage. Patients can accomplish desired results with minimally invasive, almost pain-free technique, which avoids any cuts and scarring. Patients are free to enjoy their desired hairstyle and activities after the procedure.

Main Advantages of Neograft/FUE over “strip” Methods of Hair Transplantation

The linear incision harvest technique or “strip” harvest involves scalpel and suture use. It leaves behind a linear scar line. NeoGraft is based on the revolutionary FUE non-invasive technology which avoids the use of stitches or scalpel.
This usually means less downtime for patients and the option to wear very short hair after the recovery as there is no linear scar to hide.

Ideal Candidates

Good candidates for NeoGraft after individuals who want to wear their hair short on the sides or back of their scalp and/or those who seek the least level of activity restriction after hair transplantation.
Additionally, NeoGraft can be used for other body areas such as the beard and eyebrow area. NeoGraft hair transplantation can help patients who have earlier undergone the “strip” method of hair transplantation to camouflage the resulting scar line.
Cosmetic surgeons at ACPS receive patients from Houston, Texas, TX, and nearby areas for innovative aesthetic procedures such as NeoGraft hair restoration.

Ultherapy has emerged as one of the popular non-surgical alternatives to achieve cosmetic skin tightening. For individuals who want to enhance their skin appearance without plastic surgery, Ultherapy is a credible non-invasive solution.
At the time of initial consultation, the treatment provider will discuss various aspects of this procedure and may also present Ultherapy skin tightening before and after photographs.
The first goal of a responsible provider will be to educate the patient about all aspects of Ultherapy, discuss its pros and cons, and explain its potential effectiveness.
Before and after photos can be useful at this time. The Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS), led by board certified plastic surgeons, provides Ultherapy to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding locations across the landscape.

What are Ultherapy Before and After Pictures?

Before and after pictures in case of Ultherapy refer to a set of images pertaining to a previous patient who has undergone the same treatment with a satisfactory outcome. The set includes images taken prior to the procedure and after the procedure at a time when all treatment sessions are completed and results of the Ultherapy have fully appeared.
The provider will take care to obtain Ultherapy before and after pictures with the patient’s proper consent, and present them before new patients in a discreet manner. The patient’s identity may be kept confident as per protocol. The provider’s sole purpose here is to use these photos as a visual tool to educate new patients about Ultherapy and help them make an informed choice.

Benefits

When a new patient seeks Ultherapy, they may only have a limited understanding of how this treatment can help them achieve their skin tightening goals, and how it will affect their overall look. Some individuals may require only limited treatment in a single area such as the face or neck, while some others may need more pervasive treatment in multiple sites.
In some cases, the treatment provider may recommend Ultherapy in conjunction with other surgical or non-surgical treatments. For a new patient, it becomes easier to make the right decisions when Ultherapy before and after photos are made available.
Now this will be stated again down below but this amazing website which is littered with before and after pictures of so many other pertinent and popular procedures and treatments does not have this particular treatment on it. But this is not the end of the world because a patient can perhaps see these pictures during a consultation.
The fantastic aspect of all this is digital technology. This type of technology allows a patient to peer into the future because they can see these before and after pictures and apply what they see to their own situation. This helps them make a pivotal decision. If they decide to go forward they will be much more comfortable with the decision because they have a wonderful image on how it will turn out.
This image will be accurate as well because of the awesome pictures they have already seen.

Staying Realistic

Experienced providers know that in any cosmetic procedure, the best results are often attained by patients who have a positive mindset, clear goals and realistic expectations.
Therefore, the surgeon may offer Ultherapy before and after photos at the first appointment to help ensure that the patient knows clearly what to expect and what not to expect from the treatment. The risk of any disappointment occurring at a later stage will be reduced for patients with realistic expectations.

Providing Images Online

The surgeon has an option to provide Ultherapy before and after photos on their practice website under a separate “Image Gallery” section which for this particular case is not done. This does not mean that a patient cannot see these types of pictures for Ultherapy during the consultation.
Thereafter, they may decide to visit the surgeon’s practice for a personal Ultherapy consultation. ACPS cosmetic surgeons receive patients from Houston, Texas, TX, and other cities and communities in this prolific region of the country for Ultherapy.

Ultherapy is a cutting-edge procedure that is based on ultrasound technology which can help patients attain tighter and more youthful skin without cosmetic surgery.
Many patients might not have sufficient knowledge about this innovative non-invasive skin tightening procedure. This makes it vital for a provider to inform them on various facets of Ultherapy during the initial consultation.
A qualified treatment provider will also inform the patient on the cost estimates of Ultherapy at the initial appointment to make sure that the patient evaluates all the alternatives and makes a well-considered choice.
The Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS), led by board-certified plastic surgeons, provides Ultherapy to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and other communities and neighborhoods in this region of The Lone Star State.

Cost Comparison with Surgery

In comparison to a traditional skin tightening plastic surgery, Ultherapy may be a significantly more affordable and cost-effective procedure. A surgery involves major cost elements such as surgical facility expenses, surgeon’s fee, anesthesia costs, and additional costs such as prescription meds, surgical accessories, medical exams and post-operative appointments at the surgeon’s office.
Ultherapy does not involve most of these cost elements. The provider can perform this procedure without involving anesthesia and on an outpatient basis.
It can be conveniently and safely performed as an in-office treatment. The patient usually does not incur any post-op costs, and a majority of patients require no downtime or leave from work. There are negligible risks of complication, which means that there are not likely to be any unforeseen costs for the patient in future.

Factors Impacting the Sticker Price

Ultherapy costs can differ between practices depending on some factors. The location of the practice is a vital factor in determining the monetary amount. Leading urban centers and busy cities along the coast line typically have a higher average living sticker price. This means that the financial requirements of cosmetic procedures, including Ultherapy, will generally be higher in these areas relative to other areas
Another factor that will affect the dollar amount is the quality standards of the practice where the patient chooses to receive Ultherapy treatment. Patients should always seek innovative and advanced treatments such as Ultherapy from an established office which is able to manage such procedures safely and has well-trained and experienced staff to deliver desirable results.

Scale of Treatment

The patient can receive Ultherapy on one or more parts of the face such as jaws, cheeks, brows, chin, eyelids, or neck. It may also be carried out on other body parts. The sticker price will differ due to various factors such as the extent of treatment sought, the number of treatment sessions, and the time taken to perform the procedure.
A full face and neck treatment may price tag more than the treatment in a particular region such as eyebrows or lids.

Insurance and Financing

Ultherapy is mainly administered as an elective procedure for cosmetic enhancement. This implies that the patient will likely not receive insurance coverage for this procedure.
However, patients have many financing options that they can avail enabling them to pay in easy monthly installments. ACPS cosmetic surgeons receive patients from Houston, Texas, TX, and other towns and cities in this golden part of the country for Ultherapy.

Non-Surgical Neck Lift Using Ultherapy Ultherapy is a cutting-edge procedure based on ultrasound technology that can help patients avoid plastic surgery yet achieve a significant neck lift. This proven procedure is non-invasive and is suitable for patients seeking skin tightening in the neck area to have a tauter, more youthful neck.
The Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS), led by board-certified plastic surgeons, provides Ultherapy to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding communities in the incredible Lone Star State.

The Use of Ultrasound Energy in Skin Tightening

Ultrasonic technology has led to revolutionary changes in the area of non-invasive and minimally invasive aesthetic procedures.
Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared technique that uses ultrasound waves to produce heat in the treated neck tissue to tighten loose skin and achieve a mild lift. This technique is suitable for patients who are seeking a reduction in the aging signs in their neck but do not wish to undergo cosmetic surgery.
Ultherapy concentrates ultrasound energy on sagging locations of the neck, face, brows, chin, and cheeks to attain firmer skin and overall outcomes.
The heat produced in the deeper soft layers of the neck tissue encourages the generation of fresh collagen. After a period of 2 to 3 months, the skin will appear more lifted, smoother, tones, and youthful. This procedure does not involve the usual risks and side effects associated with neck lift plastic surgery.

Natural Looking Outcomes

Ultherapy prevents harm to the upper layer of the neck skin and triggers the production of fresh collagen in the deeper tissue layers to attain more natural looking outcomes in a gradual manner. The patient achieves a healthy modification in the neck tissue on the inside. The outcomes become apparent on the outside over a few months.
The procedure does not involve any significant discomfort or downtime. It helps the patient achieve firmer and more elastic neck skin without any structural changes. The patient can experience lifting and firming under the chin, along with the jawline, and surrounding the eyebrows and lids.

Benefits

Ultherapy provides multiple advantages for patients who do not want to or cannot receive plastic surgery procedures. It concentrates ultrasound energy precisely into the deeper foundations beneath the skin’s surface in the neck region.
While these layers can usually only be treated surgically, ultrasound offers an efficient non-surgical solution. The main advantages of this procedure are as following:

Achieves neck skin tightening with no requirement for injections incisions, or cuts that can distort the surface of the skin.
The treatment does not impact the healthy outer skin layers, and ultrasound energy is precisely targeted at the deeper layers to lift soft tissue.
The quality of the neck skin improves from within.
There are instant tightening and lifting effects. The complete outcomes are apparent in a gradual way over a few months, and this aspect enables the procedure to be more natural.

The treatment does not involve anesthesia, has minimal downtime and does not create an unwanted outcome such as scarring if administered by an expert provider.

ACPS cosmetic surgeons receive patients from Houston, Texas, TX, and other neighborhoods and communities in this area of the nation for Ultherapy.

Ultherapy is a safe and effective non-surgical skin tightening treatment for individuals who are unhappy about sagging skin and lines but do not want to consider cosmetic surgery.
Ultherapy is based on ultrasonic technology which makes the treatment gentler on the skin in comparison to lasers and other more rigorous surgical or non-invasive procedures.
Ultherapy treatment can even be administered in sensitive skin areas such as the neck, face, eyebrow, and chin. The Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS), led by board-certified plastic surgeons, provides Ultherapy to patients in Houston, Texas, TX and surrounding communities in the fabulous Lone Star State.

Non-invasive Skin Lift

Ultherapy has the distinction of being one of the first non-surgical ultrasound techniques to be cleared by the FDA for skin lift. This treatment is developed to provide firmness to the skin in regions that have experienced a loss in elasticity because of sun damage, disease, aging effects, gravity, environmental factors, or genetic reasons.
Some common sites of treatment are the neck, face, and décolletage. Ultherapy offers the skin structural support from within to generate more sustainable and natural appearing skin tightening outcomes without involving plastic surgery.

Procedure

The treatment provider places a smooth applicator over the patient’s skin in the treatment area. They target the ultrasound energy on the site to heat up the surplus fat deposits in the underlying skin layers. The energy prompts the natural production of new collagen to tighten the skin.
This process provides firmness to the skin from within in a natural manner without any poor effects on the outer skin. Ultrasound technology allows the surgeon to view the underlying targeted fat pockets and tissue to attain optimal outcomes with minimal impact accurately.

Advantages

Ultherapy may be an efficient solution for people seeking a safe and effective alternative to cosmetic surgery. Some key advantages of this procedure are:

The patient can experience significant skin tightening and lifting outcomes after a single session, unlike other non-invasive procedures that typically require multiple treatments.
In this procedure, the ultrasound energy delivered in a targeted and controlled way, which prevents harm to the surrounding normal.
Outcomes are more sustainable and natural looking because the ultrasound energy goes deeper into the skin layers to generate tissue tightening from within.
Ultherapy corrects problems pertaining to skin texture and tone as well as helps address the impact of sun damage.

Ultherapy encourages the body’s natural collagen production in the deep underlying tissue to effectively tighten, lift and tone sagging and loose skin around the face, neck, eyebrows and chin. The procedure does not have a specific downtime and does not involve foreign substances or anesthesia. The outcomes of Ultherapy can sustain for many years.
Ultherapy is also suitable for busy professionals and moms who usually want procedures that do not require much post-treatment downtime. This procedure can be carried out without any requirement for anesthesia. It does not involve incisions, cuts, pain, or needles. Ultherapy does not lead to scarring, and the post-op recovery is quick.
The judicious plastic surgeons at ACPS receive patients from Houston, Texas, TX and other neighborhoods and towns in this part of the nation for Ultherapy.
